Dark armpits are no joke and they can spoil how you feel about yourself. For a long time I walked around hiding myself under clothes because I did not want people to see how dark my armpits were. I thought they would judge me and think less of me if they saw how dark my underarms were, because I believed that it was because I didn't wash them properly.

Dark armpits are embarrassing to have, because they look ugly when they are exposed out of a sleeveless top. There is no reason though why people should be sitting with a problem like dark underarms, because there are dark underarm solutions that one can use to improve their skin color.

All you need is turmeric, some besan, some curd and lemon juice. All you do is mix these ingredients up until you get a uniform paste. Once it is uniform enough, you simply apply it to your armpits, and leave it on for at least 20 minutes. You can leave it longer, for 30 minutes and then simply rinse off.

Shaving the underarm can also cause irritation especially when coupled with harsh aerosols. If letting your underarm hair grow wild is not an option for you, you can try waxing to remove hair instead of shaving or using a hair removal cream. Shaving and hair removal creams remove the hair on the surface and leave the root in tact which can make the underarm look dark especially if your hair is dark.

The best way by far to whiten dark underarms is to use natural skin lighteners. The reason behind this is because they are great for the skin, the chances of your skin reacting to them is virtually zero, as they are mostly fruit and vegetable derived.

Derma Quest Skin Therapy: This cream is suitable for all skin types. You can apply this product twice daily for whitening your underarms. Some of the main ingredients of this product are water, Butylene Glycol, Ascorbic Acid, Emblica Fruit Extract, Mushroom extract etc.

Keep them Clean - Perhaps the most effective example of how to whiten dark underarms is to change your deodorant habits. Since the dark coloration is caused by a combination of sweat and the products used to stop it, it is a good idea to change to a more hypoallergenic soap and deodorant. You may also want to switch from antiperspirant, which blocks pores, to a deodorant-only product and use talcum powder to absorb sweat.

A very simple way to prevent further damage and underarm darkening is to avoid this type of hair removal. Instead, opt for waxing or plucking, as this will remove the entire hair, leading to a longer time in between sessions and thus less skin damage. While this will prevent the area becoming any darken, you will also need to invest in a good underarm whitening cream to re-hydrate the skin and assist it in returning to your natural skin color.
