Ok so my underarms are dark. I have blonde hair but they are dark, makes no sense. It doesnt matter when I shave, they always look bad. I am very very embarrassed by it. I rarely wear sleeveless shirts, tank tops anything because of this. I went to the beach one day and 3 of the people I was with...

I rarely wear sleeveless shirts, tank tops anything because of this. I went to the beach one day and 3 of the people I was with told me I forgot to shave and I had just done it that morning. I don't know what to do! I do not want it to be like that on our wedding day Smiley sad

    It has been known that Lemon for about 15 minutes does the trick. After you should shave and get lazered. It is the BEST thing ever! I had about 4 lazer treatments and NO MORE SHAVING for me. It's the best. You will see a huge difference in the pigment color.

    I am SO with you. I gave up shaving years ago b/c I could literally step out of the shower post-shave and it looked like I had a 5 o'clock shadow. I so feel your pain, truly. The best things I ever did were: started waxing (legs, bikini) and then for my underarms - I used a product called an epillator. Google it, mine is by a company called Emjoi. Be sure to get the one that plugs in, it's stronger (some come with a rechargeable battery).

    I went from having very coarse underarm hair that you could see even when I had literally just taken the last swipe of the razor - to having underarms that are as smooth as the back of my wrist.

    From one dark haired, embarassed girl to another - try this. It will definitely and totally help. The best part is, you do it once and you will be smooth for like 10 days. It works like 100 different tweezer heads that rotate - it's not painless (by any means, it hurts like a mother, but you get used to it, I swear), but it will do the job!!

    Omg soooo many tips, tricks and options. You guys rock! I went out and bought the deoderant (which smells awesome btw!) and on my next day off I am going to go get waxed. I always have my eyebrows done and I am hoping it is the same on a pain scale. If that works I am set....if not I am going to start trying the others. I got 57 days to go dangit and I am going to make it work lol.

    You can try seeing a dermatologist and getting a prescription pigmentation cream! Also, I know some medspas offer laser resurfacing treatments - that can help with hyperpigmentation. Maybe explore that option as well Smiley smile

    I've had problems with dark armpits since I can remember, my sister told me that she saw Dermalmd Intimate Lightening Serum on Google and that I should give it a try, and it could help my problem, so I did and I don't regret it. Something IMPORTANT that you have to be conscious about is that is not magic, you have to be consistent and use it everyday and twice if possible, other way you won't see improvement. It is not from one day to another that you see results, its a process and even tho i'm still not where I want to be with my results i feel way more confident now as it looks way better. I use it for my bikini area too, and so far i haven't had any kind of issue with the product on my skin.

    I wouldn't bleach or anything like that, however, you can probably see a dermatologist who can prescribe you a pigmentation cream!

    I have been using the Dermal MD intimate lightening serum for a few months now, and my underarms have never looked better. It's become so clear and glowy that even my husband noticed! He said that he can see the difference in my skin tone, which is really amazing.
