Knowing the reason
It’s important you know that dark armpits is the result of various reasons. This could be related to: hormonal disorders, excessive sweating, use of alcohol-based deodorants, waxing, shaving, accumulation of dead cells, and constant skin rubbing or improper hygiene.
Whatever the cause, these should not pose a major concern since there are endless options to remove them. There are economic and simple home remedies you could use and other expensive specialized treatments. The one you decide to use is absolutely up to you.
Home Remedies
If you opt for home remedies, we recommend using a mixture of yogurt and oatmeal. Use a tablespoon of each ingredient and apply it directly on your armpits, rubbing it with a circular motion. Leave for 10 minutes and remove the mix with water and soap, the water preferably at room temperature.
Another common home remedy you could opt for is lemons. Clean your armpits well. Squeeze the lemons to get lemon juice and apply the liquid on a piece of cotton. Rub the cotton with lemon onto your armpits and let it work for 20 minutes. After that just remove it with soap and water. Do this for a few weeks before you go to bed and you´ll notice the change soon.
If you don’t have lemons, you could use raw potato or cucumber instead in the same manner. Extracting the juice and apply. These are not the only home remedies available, but sure are the most common. Remember, results will be visible after 4 weeks or so, if done consistently, so you must be patient.
Specialized Treatments
If you choose to visit a specialist, one highly recommended method is “peeling”. This is a mild chemical treatment, accompanied by lightening creams, non-irritating, proven to remove dark stains on the armpits. But, you must make sure you follow to a tee all the specialist´s recommendations.
Whichever method you decide on, be assured you will get the expected results. Never again be ashamed of your armpits, gain confidence and wear sleeveless cloths again.
Try one of these options and remember, the first thing you must do to overcome this condition is start making significant changes in your lifestyle, like: stop using deodorants with alcohol, exfoliate your armpits weekly, don’t use wax, keep a proper hygiene and use moisturizers before going to bed.
