Brilio.net - Do you like wearing clothes with short sleeves or sleeveless? If you like wearing tank top style clothes, maybe having clean and bright underarms is your dream. But unfortunately, this condition of blackened armpits is a frightening threat and reduces self-confidence. It's not surprising that many people are looking for ways to lighten dark underarms.
Before discussing further about blackened underarms, you need to understand the causes of discoloration in the underarms. This step is taken so that your armpits are always bright in any condition.
The most common cause of black underarms experienced by a number of people is an improper shaving process. When shaving underarm hair, the skin can become irritated due to the friction of the razor against the skin. Rough or too frequent shaving can damage the top layer of skin, causing inflammation and irritation.
Inflammation and skin irritation due to shaving can trigger the production of melanin, the skin's natural pigment. A buildup of melanin in the irritated area can cause hyperpigmentation or a buildup of dark color on the skin. Not only that, shaving armpit hair can also increase the risk of bacterial or fungal infections. Irritated and damp areas are an ideal environment for bacterial growth and can cause infection, resulting in black underarms.
The solution to make your armpits bright again is to carry out regular maintenance. You can start caring for your underarm skin using a scrub made from natural ingredients. As done by beauty vlogger with the YouTube channel @pihuofficials08.
In the short video he shared, he used three natural ingredients, namely baking soda, coffee grounds and lemon. Baking soda has gentle abrasive properties so it can be used as a natural scrub to remove dead skin cells. Baking soda has properties that can balance the skin's pH, helping reduce the risk of irritation and calming redness.
Coffee grounds have a rough texture and can be used as an effective natural scrub to remove dead skin cells. Briliobeauty.net reported from pharmeasy.in, Monday (1/4) the antioxidant content in coffee can help fight skin damage caused by free radicals and speed up the skin regeneration process.
Meanwhile, lemon contains citric acid which can help speed up the process of exfoliating dead skin cells and brighten the skin. The astringent properties of lemon help narrow pores and reduce excess oil production in the underarm area.
Those are the benefits of each ingredient that you can get. So how do you use and make it? For those of you who are curious, let's look at the tutorial below:

Coffee grounds have several properties that can help prevent acne on the back. This is because coffee grounds have a rough texture which makes it an effective natural scrub. Regular use of a coffee scrub can help remove dead skin cells and clean clogged pores. Meanwhile, the antioxidant content can help reduce inflammation of the skin.
Now when used as a scrub, the movement of massaging coffee grounds on the back can help increase blood flow to the area. Good blood flow can help transport nutrients to the skin and speed up the acne healing process.
