Causes of Dark Armpits and Natural Remedies



Are you one of those people who have to think twice before wearing sleeveless dresses? Who have to deliberately position emojis on their armpits to hide the underarms? Who have to remember all the time to keep their hands down? Who have on many occasions forfeited going to the beach or club because a lot of hand-raising happens there and you are not just up to it? Here's the thing, we feel you. Dark underarms can be a cause of embarrassment and discomfort to many. But what exactly causes them?

Frequent shaving
Frequent shaving of the underarms might cause ingrown hair, which apart from resulting into bumps, might cause the underarm area to have a dark appearance.The more you shave, the more this happens. The darkening may also result from the trauma frequent shaving subjects your underarms too.

You may want to opt for waxing which leaves a lot less ingrown hair, if at all. Better still, you can opt for laser hair removal.


Your favourite deodorant
Your deo could very well be the culprit behind the dark underarms. The chemicals used in the deodorant could cause irritate the skin under your arms, which by the way is very sensitive. While this reaction ranges from person to person, some deodorants end up causing discolouration of the underarms.

If your underarms started darkening after you started to use a particular brand of deodorant or antiperspirant, cease the use of that product for sometime to see if the situation improves.



Dead cells
The skin under yur arms might be dry, owing to the build up of dead cells that cause your underarms to appear dark. Exfoliating these dry patches of skin will get rid of the dead cells.

Most people ignore this area when they exfoliate. Given how sensitive this area is, exfoliate using natural products as opposed to the chemical ones. You can also use these natural home remedies.



Lemon: Cut lemons into cubes or slices and rub them on your armpits once every day. Alternatively, squeeze fresh lemon and apply the juice to your underarms. You may want to dilute the juice a little bit because it can be harsh. Do this thrice a week.

Lemon can work as both a lightening and exfoliating agent. Add baking powder to lemon juice instead of water for even better results.



Potatoes: Grate the potatoes then using a cloth or strainer, squeeze the juice and use in on your armpits then rinse it off after 15 minutes. Potatoes are very good for addressing pigmentation and being milder than lemon, you can use it as often as you want.

Sugar and oil: Mix sugar with any oil you prefer, from coconut to olive. Rub this mixture on the underarms, the sugar granules exfoliates this area and gets rid of the dead skins that cause the dark armpits.

The oil on the other hand ensures the mixture spreads evenly and prevents the granules from being too abrasive. This can be done two to three times a week.
