If you have ever tried to shop for foundation you may come to the realization your skin is made up of several tones. For some, different body parts may be a different shade. For example, some women have skin under their arms that is noticeably darker and they wish it could blend with the rest of their skin color.
What can cause armpit skin to become darker? Under arm skin that continuously rubs against fabrics as well as shaving creates friction and this leads to inflammation and dark spots. Winter wools have been known to create unwanted friction so slip on a tee shirt before wearing a sweater.
If you shave under your arms regularly throw out your razor after every three shaves. This is because dull razors can cause armpit irritation. To lighten up your armpit areas apply a cream containing hydroquinone such as Ambi Fade Cream.
