Brilio.net - Not only the face, the armpits are also one part of the body that is susceptible to hyperpigmentation. The reason is that the armpits are a folded part of the body that often changes color from dark to black. This condition occurs due to various factors, such as friction, buildup of dead skin cells, use of unsuitable deodorants or antiperspirants, hormonal changes, skin irritation, unhealthy lifestyles, and certain diseases.
These various factors can trigger a change in the color of the underarm skin from initially bright to darker. In fact, the armpits should have the same skin color as the skin around them. However, because of hyperpigmentation, the armpits are prone to blackening and feel textured or rougher to the touch. Rough underarm texture is also a common problem that occurs due to the buildup of dead skin cells or buildup that are not cleaned regularly and optimally.
Having black armpits can really disturb your appearance and reduce your self-confidence, so it's not surprising that many people are looking for ways to overcome this problem. There are many ways you can treat black underarms so they become evenly bright again. These include undergoing treatment at a beauty clinic, using skincare such as brightening masks and scrubs, and using natural ingredients.
One natural ingredient that is often used to treat black underarms is oatmeal. This is because oatmeal has a slightly rough texture, so it is suitable for use as a scrub. Even so, in fact there are some people who are not suitable for using an oatmeal scrub because its rough texture can irritate the skin, especially for those with sensitive skin.
Another solution, you can use other natural ingredients. As shared by a woman via her personal TikTok account @dati_harry on October 3 2023, which contains how to treat black armpits with 2 kitchen ingredients, namely lemon and baking soda.
