Brilio.net - Armpits are a folded part of the body that is prone to hyperpigmentation or blackening. There are several factors that cause armpits to turn black, such as friction, buildup of dead skin cells, use of deodorants that are not suitable or contain strong chemicals, hormonal changes, skin irritation, unhealthy lifestyle, obesity, and certain diseases.
Underarm skin should have the same color as the rest of the body's skin. However, because of hyperpigmentation, the armpits are prone to blackening and have a rough texture. This rough underarm texture occurs due to a buildup of dead skin cells or buildup that are not cleaned regularly and optimally.
Dark underarm skin color is quite disturbing to your appearance, so it's not surprising that many people are looking for ways to brighten it. For example, by having treatment at a beauty clinic, using skincare such as whitening cream or special scrubs, or using natural ingredients.
Underarm whitening cream is widely used by the majority of people with black underarms because it is claimed to be effective in whitening the armpits and evening out the skin color.

It turns out that cucumber can be used to brighten underarm skin, you know. This is because this refreshing tasting fruit contains antioxidants which can help remove dead skin cells and trigger the formation of new skin cells (skin regeneration). The anti-inflammatory content, water, vitamin C and folic acid in cucumbers also have a smoothing effect on the armpits. Well, you can use it as a natural scrub.
Benefits of yoghurt to even out underarm skin color.One of the benefits of yogurt is to brighten the skin. This is thanks to the lactic acid content in yoghurt which can inhibit the production of the tyrosinase enzyme - the enzyme responsible for producing melanin, the pigment that makes skin darker or blacker. Regular use will help even out underarm skin color naturally.
