Does your tank tops and sleeveless dresses have been in stored way too long because of your dark underarms? You’re might not doing the right grooming habits. Let’s change it up and restore your underarm confidence and get lighter underarms by avoiding these improper habits of yours!
#1. Not regularly changing your razors.
Your underarm skin is very sensitive and a dull blade repeatedly rubbing against it will cause skin irritation, breakage, and infection. Old razors are a breeding ground for all kinds of nasty germs. Change your razor blade every 5 shaves or once a month. This way, you keep the blade sharp and you don’t have to press hard against your skin for a close shave. Afterwards, always use a light, whitening deodorant with moisturizer to relieve irritation caused by shaving.
#2. Not washing before plucking.
If you pluck without washing, you open underarms to the possibility of infection from dirt entering the exposed pores. Before plucking, make sure that you wash your armpits well, stripping them of any germs that may have been accumulated throughout the day and with open pores, it might get irritated. So finish up with light deodorant.
#3. Home Whitening Remedies
Not all home underarm whitening remedies works for everybody. Some might get irritated armpits and darker ones by applying those procedures. Give the tawas and papaya a rest. Instead, do your research and adopt a scientific approach. You can look for deodorant that has Omega-6 in its formula, a polyunsaturated fatty acid that stimulates the production of new skin cells.
