How To Whiten Armpit

What causes armpits to become dark?

The most common cause of darkening of the armpits is in the anatomy, the rubbing of the armpits against each other.

Another common cause: shaving and plucking. Every time you shave or pluck, you cause micro abrasions. When healed, these wounds cause darkening. You may not be aware of these, but you can easily confirm it by putting alcohol on your underarms after you pluck or shave. It's going to be very painful because of the abrasions. Shaving and plucking can also cause armpit hair to stand straight up and enlarge hair follicles, making your armpit take on the appearance of chicken skin.

Waxing can also cause trauma to the skin, although the burn may be slight. Some deodorants also cause an allergy and irritate your skin which results to dark armpits.

How to Remove Upper Lip Hair

Everyone has unwanted body hair. Many people, especially women, search for the best way to get rid of hair on their upper lip. There are many different ways to remove upper lip hair.

1. Pluck unwanted upper lip hair with tweezers. Hold your skin taught, squeeze the hair between the tips of the tweezers and pull it out. This method works best if you have a few random hairs needing removal. It's cheap, but usually painful.
   


2. Shave off unwanted lip hair with a sharp razor, warm water and shaving cream or gel. Shaving can cause razor burn, bumps or cuts but is inexpensive and you can do it yourself. This method is a good choice for men, but not a good choice for women, because every time you shave, the hair that grows back is stubbier, darker and thicker.
   


3. Apply a depilatory cream to your upper lip to dissolve unwanted hair. Make sure to read package directions carefully and buy one specifically designed for facial hair.
   


4. Wax off upper lip hair. Apply a thin layer of wax to your upper lip, place a cloth strip over the wax, press it down firmly and then quickly pull it off to remove the hair. You can wax at home or have it done by a professional.
   


5. Have laser hair removal to get rid of upper lip hair. The technician, or doctor, directs a laser through the skin to the hair follicle and stops hair growth. The professionals advertise it as permanent hair removal, but most people require follow up treatments.
   


6. Undergo electrolysis to remove upper lip hair. When you have this procedure, the therapist inserts a needle into the hair follicle and sends an electrical current to the hair root that destroys the root. It is expensive, painful and time consuming but can provide permanent hair removal.
