Tip 1 Avoid Underarm Whitening Creams That Contain Hydroquinone Hydroquinone is dangerous. This ingredient has been linked to cancer amongst other medical problems, and has been banned all over the world including in Japan, France, and the United Kingdom. Unfortunately, it is still legal for the time being to purchase this ingredient in the U.S. as long as it is diluted. However, since you will be applying this ingredient to the extremely sensitive underarm skin, it is in the best interest of your health to avoid Hydroquinone based underarm lightening creams and gels and instead opt for a safer lightening ingredient such as Alpha Arbutin. Tip 2 Only Apply a Small Amount While you may assume that the more you apply, the faster your dark underarms will lighten, the reality is that once the dark skin is coated with the cream or gel, any excess amount that you apply will be wasted. This is why it is smart to use an application device such as a small brush to apply the underarm whitening cream so that you will be able to control the amount you put on. Tip 3 Natural Remedies Really Arent That Effective If you are searching online for a solution to dark underarms, you are sure to come across sites that praise using all-natural remedies to lighten the underarm skin. Some of these solutions include using baking soda and lemons. While the acid in the lemons can help, the truth is that almost all natural remedies are only slightly effective in that they will provide a very temporary solution. While the best underarm whitening products contain natural ingredients such as Alpha Arbutin and Kojic Acid, the reality is that these ingredients are not found in stores and are not readily available to the public. This is why most consumers prefer to purchase a safe, but more much effective cosmetic underarm whitener. Tip 4 Consider Switching Deodorants and Waxing/Shaving Less Often These are two of the main causes of the development of dark underarms. Allergic reactions to specific deodorants and antiperspirants often lead to the development of a dark underarm. Additionally, excessively shaving or waxing can also lead to dark underarms. A simple fix for this problem is to switch to a hypo-allergenic deodorant and to shave/wax less often. If you can afford it, you may also want to consider laser hair removal. Tip 5 Choose Gel Based Products Over Cream Based Ones The bottom line is that gels absorb into the skin more efficiently than creams can. While gels tend to cost a little more than cream based products, you will only need a small amount to achieve the same results making gel based products more cost effective. Conclusion In conclusion, the development of dark underarms is quite common. Thankfully, there are multiple products available which can safely and effectively lighten them.
