Help! How Do I Get Rid of My Dark Armpits/Underarms?

It is a common problem that many people face, both men and women, and can be caused by factors such as sun exposure, genetics, and more. The good news is that, while dark armpits can be embarrassing to have, they're not dangerous at all, and you can get rid of them!

3 Simple Steps to Lighten Dark Underarms with an Effective Skincare Routine

We know dark underarms can be a pain to deal with. If you're worried about how your dark armpits look and want them gone, try incorporating these 3 steps into your underarm skincare routine:

1. Exfoliate your underarms weekly

Dry scrubbing or exfoliating can significantly help to improve the appearance of unsightly dark underarms. By exfoliating weekly, it can remove the dirt, oil, and debris found in the pores of your underarms along with dead skin cells and improve the tone of your armpits over time.

Your everyday loofah can provide similar effects if you don't have a scrub or an exfoliating body wash. However, for those with highly sensitive underarm skin or skin allergies, make sure to gently exfoliate and rehydrate the underarm area with a suitable moisturizing body cream.

2. Switch out your deodorant or antiperspirant for a product that doesn't contain harmful ingredients such as aluminium

Switching out your deodorant for a product that isn't aluminium-based is one of the best ways to get rid of your dark armpits quickly. Aluminium is a common ingredient in most antiperspirants and deodorants, but it can darken skin areas and cause skin irritation and rashes. Not only that, alumina (the chemical compound found in aluminium) is capable of reacting with bacteria in our sweat to produce a foul odour.

If you're looking for an alternative to antiperspirant and deodorant products containing this ingredient, try switching over to one that's natural or aluminium-free instead.

This applies to bath products as well! Anything that goes onto your skin and underarm region can be the cause of darkened skin. Avoid using products that contain sulfates, fragrances, dyes, parabens and phthalates.

These chemicals can irritate the sensitive skin around your armpits and make them appear darker. Make sure to read labels carefully before buying any product. You might also want to opt for a mild body wash or soap for underarm areas.

3. Use skin brightening creams after showers

When you shower, moisturize with an in-shower lotion or oil and then apply a brightening cream when you get out of the bath. There is a variety of brightening creams out there in the market today - but which one should you get?

You may want to start doing your own research on what ingredients are best suited for your skin types and whether they will effectively solve your skin concerns. What's important here is finding something that works well to lighten dark underarms without irritating or drying out that region.

For those looking for dermatologist-tested and approved skin (and underarm!) brightening products, the NIHON Brightening Body Creme is your best choice.

A lightweight and non-sticky body moisturizing cream that contains key ingredients such as kojic acid and hyaluronic acid to effectively brighten up dull skin and dark body areas. If you're familiar with those ingredients, you already know what amazing things they can do to your skin.

First of all, kojic acid can be used to lighten visible sun damage and brighten up your overall skin tone by preventing melanin production. It can help to lighten up any dark spots in your underarm region or any part of your body.
