Black and patchy armpits can be caused by using unsuitable deodorant.

Brilio.net - Most people only pay attention to beauty and facial care. However, there are other parts of the body that also need to be cared for so that they remain bright and free from climbs. The body part in question is the armpit. This folded area often makes a person less confident, especially women who wear sleeveless clothes.

The reason is that underarm skin should have the same color as the skin on other parts of the body. However, in some people, the skin in the armpits can appear dark and even black. Dark underarm skin can reduce self-confidence.

Dark underarm skin appears due to a buildup of dead skin cells (daki) or because your armpits are always sweaty, making them a suitable place for bacteria on the skin to live. Not only that, black and bumpy armpits can also be caused by using unsuitable deodorant, wrong shaving techniques, friction, wearing clothes that are too tight, and certain diseases.

Therefore, many people are looking for ways to restore the color of their dark and plump underarm skin so that it becomes evenly bright. Whitening underarms can be done by having regular treatment at a beauty doctor, using skincare products specifically for underarms, and using natural ingredients.

One skincare product that is often used by most people to brighten dark and patchy underarms is bleaching cream. Using bleaching cream is indeed effective, but not everyone is suitable for using it, considering the bleach and chemical content in the product that can irritate sensitive skin.
