Brilio.net - Underarm skin color should be the same as the skin color of the rest of the body. However, for some people, the color of their underarm skin darkens to the point that it appears black due to several factors. These body folds are prone to skin hyperpigmentation. Hyperpigmentation is a condition where black spots or spots appear on the surface of the skin, due to excessive melanin formation.
Well, melanin is a natural pigment that gives color to the skin. If this pigment is excessive, the skin will be prone to darkening. Several factors that cause this include friction with clothes, accumulated dead skin cells, use of unsuitable deodorants or anti-perspirants, unhealthy lifestyles, hormonal changes, and certain diseases.
Blackening of the underarm skin can be quite disturbing to your appearance and reduce your self-confidence. It's not surprising that many people are looking for ways to brighten it up. One of the efforts made is to use natural ingredients. Some people choose turmeric as a natural ingredient that can even out skin tone to make it brighter.
But sometimes, turmeric will leave stains or yellow marks on the armpits that are difficult to remove. No need to worry, because there is another solution that you can do, namely by using 1 sweetener. As shared by the owner of the TikTok account @sakshi_zumba_fitness on May 26 2022. The sweetener in question is granulated sugar. He also added another ingredient, namely pure coconut oil.
"Give this a try and let me know (Try this and let me know)," said the account owner in the description of the uploaded video, which briliobeauty.net reported from the TikTok account @sakshi_zumba_fitness, Wednesday (7/2).

Even though it is known as a sweetener, granulated sugar actually has various benefits for the skin, you know. Its granular texture can act as a scrub or exfoliator. According to Healthline, according to the American Academy of Dermatology, exfoliation can make the skin look brighter and more even if done regularly. Granulated sugar can also help rejuvenate the skin and speed up skin regeneration. When dead skin and dirt are removed, the skin will brighten evenly.
Likewise, coconut oil is also effective in treating various skin problems. Apart from moisturizing, pure coconut oil is also effective for brightening black underarms. This is thanks to the various vitamins and antioxidants it contains. Meanwhile, coconut oil can also function as an exfoliator. This is because coconut oil can clean dirt and dead skin cells that accumulate in the armpits.
