Main Reasons for Darkening Underarms.

In daily life, there are many people who will be troubled by the darkening of the color of their underarms. Darkening underarm color actually has relatively complex causes, and here are some of the main reasons that may cause your underarms to darken:

• Friction: Friction is one of the common causes of underarm color darkening. Our arms are constantly swinging in our daily activities, and the underarm area will have frequent friction with clothing. Long-term friction can irritate the skin and thicken the stratum corneum, leading to deeper color.
• Poor hygiene habits: If the underarms are not thoroughly cleaned, sweat, sebum and other secretions accumulate, which can easily harbor bacteria and fungi. The metabolites of these microorganisms may irritate the skin, triggering an inflammatory response, which in turn leads to hyperpigmentation.
• Use of inappropriate products: Some skin care products, antiperspirants or deodorants that contain irritating ingredients may cause underarm skin irritation or inflammation, leading to hyperpigmentation. Some products, in particular, may contain chemicals that are harmful to the skin and aggravate the problem of darkened underarm color.

How can we prevent the armpits from turning dark?

• Patch test: Before trying a new product, conduct a small-area patch test first to avoid any potential discomfort.
• Daily care: Exfoliate regularly to keep your underarm skin breathing; choose loose and breathable clothing to minimize friction and irritation.
• Natural whitening: Utilize natural whitening ingredients such as lemon juice and cucumber slices to bring a gentle brightening effect to underarm skin (Be sure to conduct a patch test first.).
• Choose natural deodorants: Use natural deodorants that are skin-friendly and non-irritating (such as the Rvtfsh series). These deodorants can gently condition the skin and reduce pigmentation caused by chemical substances at the source.
