Combatting dark underarms is a skincare goal that many of us share. Although our underarms are a part of the body that can easily be hidden, feeling insecure about this area can prevent us from wearing the clothes we want to wear or even engaging in activities we want to participate in.
Fortunately, there’s an easy way to naturally lighten your underarms so that you can go about your day with extra confidence. Below we’ll be sharing exactly how the naturally-derived kojic acid works to lighten underarms, as well as how to use it safely and effectively.
Why Are Underarms More Prone To Darkness?
Underarm skin is thinner and more sensitive than the skin on other parts of our body. This makes it more prone to irritation, and therefore more prone to dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
Many of us will experience excessive darkness in our underarms, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with it. There are many effective natural treatments for underarm darkness, including kojic acid products.
Understanding Kojic Acid
Kojic acid is a natural ingredient derived from various fungi, primarily Aspergillus oryzae. It’s a popular choice for brightening skincare products due to its innate ability to reduce bright spots and promote an even skin tone.
Kojic acid works by inhibiting tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin production. It helps fade hyperpigmentation, discoloration, and dark spots, making it an effective solution for addressing dark underarms.
In addition to its skin brightening properties, kojic acid has mild exfoliating effects. It can help remove dead skin cells and promote the regeneration of new, brighter skin.
How to Use Kojic Acid for Lightening Underarms
First, you’ll need to find the right product. Our Bright Booster Underarm Serum is specially formulated for underarm use, so you can rest assured this sensitive area will be treated with care and efficacy. If you’re concerned about any sensitivities, you can always perform a patch test to avoid any negative reactions.
Before you use the item, make sure your underarms are fully cleansed and free from sweat, oils, and residue. You can then gently apply a thin layer of the serum to the underarms, ensuring full coverage of any darkened areas. Finally, be patient and consistent! It may take a few weeks for results to become noticeable, but with dedication you can achieve underarms you won’t be afraid of showing off.
To make your treatment more effective, ensure you’re giving your underarms the best care possible. Use gentle, hypoallergenic products for any other type of underarm care, like shaving or deodorizing. Shaving without a shaving cream can cause friction and irritation, just like certain types of deodorants can contain triggering ingredients. Dark, irritated underarms can absolutely become a thing of the past with the right care and treatment.
