Do you remember the furor over the whole issue of a magazine photoshopping Priyanka Chopra’s underarms to make them look smoother than a baby’s butt? Well, in order to quash the rumors of photoshop, Priyanka, herself, put up a “pit-stopping” photograph showing off her unrealistically smooth and fair underarms.
Now that the summers have finally reached our doorstep, most of us are busy busting out our strapless dresses and halter neck tops out of the storage, to beat the heat in style. But some of us are hesitant to do so because of our unsightly, dark underarms that might be put on display in those sleeveless garments. If you too are facing the same issue then don’t worry, for we are here to take care of your pit-(ty) issues!
We decided to take a leaf out of our Bollywood celeb’s secret skincare manual and compiled a list of tips and tricks that can help you get rid of dark, underarms. Lets’ read on.
1. Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize
If you are looking for a way out of dark unseemly underarms, then you do have to moisturize your underarms. Even though it might appear that your underarms don’t really need hydration since they are seldom exposed to harmful radicals but because they are in contact with cloth and skin, all the time, they are more likely to become dark due to constant chafing. You can put on some lotion on your underarms after you shower, to seal in the moisture.
2. Exfoliate Their Armpits
Just like your face, your underarms also accumulate dead skin cells over time, and this too can be a contributing factor towards their darkening. To prevent this from happening, you need to exfoliate your underarms. Since the skin in the armpit region is quite sensitive, you need to use a very gentle exfoliant. Try to exfoliate your armpits once a week to get rid of dead skin there.
