Dark underarm skin is usually caused by hyperpigmentation due to shaving habits, use of deodorant and so on.

Brilio.net - As is known, the armpits are a folded part of the body that sweats easily. Because of this, the armpits often have an unpleasant odor or what is called body odor. This unpleasant odor occurs due to sweat mixed with bacteria. Apart from that, due to friction and dead skin cells that accumulate, the armpits are also prone to darkening and a rough texture.

Not only due to friction and dead skin cells accumulating, dark armpits are also caused by other factors, such as shaving your armpits incorrectly and exposure to chemicals from deodorants or antiperspirants. Dark underarm skin is often a problem for most people, especially for women who are considered to be detrimental to their appearance. However, the underarm skin color should be the same or not much different from the skin color around it.

Even though it is not a dangerous condition, the problem of smelly and dark underarms can reduce a person's self-confidence. So many are looking for solutions to overcome it. Start by using skincare products, getting treatments at beauty clinics, and using natural ingredients. Well, one of the skincare products that is commonly used is deodorant.

Deodorant is a skincare product that is formulated to treat body odor and reduce the production of excessive sweat in the armpits. Apart from dealing with unpleasant body odor, currently there are many deodorant products that contain lightening ingredients, as an effort to brighten dark underarms.
