A Beginner Guide to Choosing an Underarm Whitening Cream

Do you have an underlying fear of anyone catching a glimpse of your dark underarms? We all want spotless and flawless underarms especially during the summer season when we want to wear sleeveless clothes. You might have also searched for the best underarm whitening creams in India. So, here we are to shrug off all your worries so that you can flaunt your favorite attire this season. 

Why do your underarms turn dark?

• The underarms are made up of sweat glands. Sweat glands are organs responsible for secreting sweat and sebum, thus keeping the local skin cells moisturized.
• A buildup of dead skin cells, dirt, and bacteria may trigger an overproduction of melanin, thus darkening the underarms. 
• Your underarm skin is analogous to eyelid skin. It easily gets irritated that ultimately adds to pigmentation.
• There could be a plethora of reasons behind your discolored skin such as melanin rich skin, pH due to hormonal imbalance, fungal and bacterial infections or medications.
• It is certainly not a medical condition as it can be caused gradually by improper cleaning and accumulation of dead cells, shaving, excessive sweating, and using harsh cosmetics such as deodorants or creams which are unsuitable for your skin.
• Persistent skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and fragrance allergy can prove to be a double whammy for your underarm skin.

So here is the beginners guide to choose the best underarm whitening cream;

1. Your underarm whitening products which are cruelty-free, non-comedogenic, dermatologically tested with clinically proven ingredients. 
2. The  product  should  lighten dark armpits but also exfoliates your dead skin cells to remove roughness and dryness, a stain-free formula that controls excessive sweating and provides long-lasting freshness.

• In most cases, using a razor on this sensitive part of your body may sometimes lead to ingrown hair and inflammation. This would cause the skin in your underarms to appear darker than your usual skin tone. 
• The situation may worsen with the lack of exfoliation, and a buildup of dead skin would make the underarms appear darker.
