Girls I have a problem, the thing is that since I remember I've being using gillette to shave my armpits, but I've being also noticing that they have being changing their color to a darker tone, and I have like small red dots. I don't like the way it looks, help!

I've heard that putting lemon juice on your armpits will lighten them up, you can look it up on YouTube. Those small red dots are probably razor bumps, if you don't use a shaving cream that's probably causing the red dots.

Try changing to a different razor brand

Change your razor every so often too.

Don't put lemon juice if there's red bumps. Only put lemon juice once those red bumps have gone away then add lemon juice. I had the same problem and realised anti aging creams do wonders for dark underarms. Always use a sharp razor which means changing often and I use yoko salt to soften and lighten the skin.

Try growing the hair out and waxing it instead. Obviously if the red bumps are there, you will want to avoid waxing. But waxing helps with exfoliating the dark skin on your underarm which will help lighten it.

Some deodorants can help with discoloration at the armpits. My friend uses one by Dove and says its really good!
