Geting rid of dark underarms
YOU'RE all set for your dream date, wearing that trendy new sleeveless blouse you've been pining for weeks. Everything about you seems perfect: from your hair down to your shoes.
On a sudden impulse, you raise your arms and utter a gasp of horror. Your underarms are so dark they could stop anyone dead on their tracks.
After settling for a boring, long-sleeved top, you wrack your brains trying to figure out why your underarms have suddenly gone from marvelously fair to discomforting black. The culprit? It may be the underarm product you are using right now.
In fact, long-term use of heavily scented deodorants with alcohol and other chemicals causes skin darkening, leaving your underarms with those unsightly spots. And the longer you use them, the darker your underarms get.
These are the usual factors that cause underarm darkening: strong fragrances, alcohol and other chemical factors found in most deodorants or antiperspirants; constant friction (excessive underarm shaving or rough-textured clothing); intake of androgen-based oral contraceptives; allergy to heavy perfumes.
Godiva Skin Care offers a line of products that remedies and prevents dark underarms.
Its Licorice Whitening Antiperspirant/Deodorant is an antiperspirant/deodorant that is absolutely alcohol- and fragrance- free. It offers 24-hour protection against wetness and body odor and contains zirconium to prevent perspiration. With its highly effective Licorice ingredient, it not only prevents discoloration but also whitens already dark underarms. All you get is soft, smooth and whiter underarms, which you can always be proud to bare.
To complement the antiperspirant, Godiva also has its Licorice Skin Whitening Cream. It lightens sensitive areas of the body such as the underarms.
Coupled with the rest of the Godiva Licorice Skin Whitening Line, maximum results will be achieved in such a short time.
However, bear in mind that skin lightening depends on and varies according to the individual's skin color as well as physical and chemical trauma. That's why the darker your skin pigmentation, plus the factors cited, the longer you have to stay on the whitening regimen and wait until visible lightening takes place.
Godiva Natural Skin Care products are available at leading health and beauty stores, department stores, drug stores and supermarkets.
