I have noticed my underarms are getting darker and I shave them. What do you do to yours shave,wax?? I don't want dark underarms anyway to fix it or should I stop shaving them and do something else? Also I know lemons can kinda help so don't reply with that. :)

Dove deodrants help a lot with reducing darkness! I also find that waxing also helps keep things light!!.I've been waxing mine for a few years now and my pits are the same as the rest of my skin. Dove did drastically even out the skin color for me as well. good luck :)

I exfoliate under my arms with St ives apricot scrub and use Say Yes To Grapefruit lotion on them at night for dark spots. Oh, I shave too.

Consider laser! I know it can be a bit expensive, but save, save and save, you won't regret it. Best feeling in the world!

I wax. I recommend taking a hot shower or steam your underarms haha. Then, exfoliate. I use st.ives apricot scrub for blemishes and blackheads just cuz its more tougher and imo it exfoliates better. You can also put honey on your underarms as this will gradually lighten the area with more use and its not harmful at all to the skin. Leave it on for as long as you want and wash it off. If you want the process to move quicker, use a moisturizer for lightening dark spots like the aveeno positively radiant daily moisturizer. :)

I know lemons are a natural lightener but what if you cut yourself shaving then put lemon juice on it...ouch! I use nair for my underarms and bikini area, it helps me with ingrowns and I don't have darkness there so maybe that works. I also love dove deodorant. I guess I'm subconsciously fighting dark pits myself ;)

Don't know if this is too weird to say but I work in a sex store and we sell a product called pink privates. you may be able to find it on amazon... it is primarily used for anal bleaching or lightening of the private area but you can also use it on stretch marks, dark underarms, tan lines, birth marks, etc. I use it every day when I get out of the shower!
