Most ladies, and a growing number of men, are suffering from
having dark underarms. Darkening of underarms is caused by many factors.
What are the main causes of underarm discoloration?
1. Skin irritation- the skin of your armpits can react adversely from any products you apply or take, topically or internally.
2. Hereditary- some skin problems including the one mentioned in the main topic is caused by genes.
3. Excessive sun exposure- darkening can also be caused by excessive sun exposure.
Luckily,
there are products or methods/treatments that you can use to whiten
your dark underarms. These products come in different forms. It can be
an oral pill, cream, lotion, roll-on deodorant, powder, etc. Underarm
whitening treatments include laser treatment, chemical peeling, diamond
peeling, skin bleaching, and more.
Oral pills used in whitening
consist mainly of Glutathione, an anti-oxidant used to renew cells with
skin whitening as "side-effect". Creams and lotions are usually rich in
whitening agents such as Licorice extracts and AHA to help renew skin of
the underarms. Roll-on deodorants and powders are laced with Aluminum
Sulfate which is proven to lighten skin while preventing body odor.
Laser
treatment for underarms are a bit pricey compare to topical products
mentioned above. But aside from giving you a whiter underarm, the
procedure also removes armpit hair permanently. Chemical peeling and
diamond peeling are two different procedures with almost the same
outcome. They both peel away dead skin to reveal younger and whiter
skin. The difference is chemical peeling uses chemicals to peel away the
skin, while diamond peel uses abrasive instruments to help renew the
skin. Skin bleaching is a very popular procedure when it comes to
underarm whitening.
If you happen to like any of the products or
procedures mentioned, you must first consult your doctor or
dermatologist to make sure which treatment suits you best.
