Brilio.net - Armpits are often the part of the body that is associated with the problem of bad odor. This problem usually arises due to the production of sweat and oil mixed with bacteria on the skin. In addition to triggering an unpleasant odor, this condition can also cause a buildup of dirt that makes the skin of the armpit look darker.
Darkening and odor in the armpits are closely related to the sweat produced by the body. Sweat contains substances such as urea and amino acids that, when released through the pores, react with bacteria on the surface of the skin. This reaction not only triggers odor, but also increases melanin production, which then makes the skin of the armpits appear dark. Excessive friction in the area also worsens the condition by causing skin cell shedding that triggers the accumulation of dirt. As a result, the problem of darkening armpits is often unavoidable.
However, there is no need to worry. Overcoming this problem does not always require expensive products or complicated treatments. Natural ingredients such as a mixture of rose water and aloe vera gel can be an effective solution.
