How can I get rid of the dark area on my underarms & bikini area?
filed in One Bytes on Jan.21, 2010
I am a black woman & don’t know if other races or ppl for that matter have this problem but I hate the fact that anytime I shave my underarms or get a Brazilian bikini wax my skin is about 2 shades darker than my light brown complexion. It looks discolored. Is there a way I can get rid of it without the use of skin lightening cream (if possible)??

I have the same problem and haven’t found anything that has significantly helped. But I have been using Jojoba oil after shaving and it seems to be helping lighten the area a little bit and keeping it from becoming darker. So you might want to give it a try, just rub a little on your skin after shaving or waxing.

Purchase a skin lightening cream or lotion. These creams contain a variety of different ingredients such as burberry extract, liquorice extract, mulberry extract and hydroquinone which have been shown to lighten dark skin.
