My friend has been using sunflower oil on her armpits daily and she said they got much lighter than they've ever been. I've been using it on my bikini area and I'm noticing that it's lightening up as well. You're right. exfoliating is important.
Ashhley Baez it's a brand called Human Nature from the Philippines but I'm sure any sunflower oil (maybe from whole foods or some place like that) will work. That brand just makes a bunch of organic things. :)
U can grab a potato, cut it in half and rub the exposed part in your armpit. rub until the potato is dark and let your armpit sit. Take a shower and rinse it off! also works for black necks too. (not shaming anyone) I did not make this life hack up. Shout out to 5 minute crafts they showed this in one of their videos. also great vid! 😊
I started using the kojic acid every day and the spin brush every other day for about 2 weeks and i moisturize with a fragrance free lotion like cetaphil or panthenol and i stopped using deodrant i swear my underarm became 4 shades lighter. I shave just once a month while i go to my laser session. Thankyou so much for helping me!
You should try a mixture of coconut oil with baking soda as an exfoliant. Baking soda is a natural Lightener and the oil acts as a conditioner to prevent in grown hair. I would also recommend waxing or laser hair removal. Thinning out the hair or permanent removal lightens the area by preventing the hair root to show through the skin.
Hi! I just wanted to let you know you changed my life! Ever since I could remember I had dark underarms. I remember back in school I would always be self conscious, and I never ever wore muscle shirts or anything that showed underarms without a cardigan on top. When I would search on TH-cam for help, ALL of the ones I would watch were click bait or made by girls that didn’t even have dark underarms! I felt like it would never get fixed. I started doing your exact routine in January of this year, and my armpits now are only 1/2 a shade darker than my skin tone. Thank you so much, seriously! I can’t believe I don’t have to worry about raising my arms ever again. Thank you!!!!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
@@reenrafi7342 results def didn’t show in a week. I don’t have a specific timeframe, I just followed her method religiously and now I’ve been doing it for years and still do.
@@YOURLOVER261 hello, so I def stoped shaving. I did laser treatments and now when they do grow back I use wax. I use native deodorant and I exfoliate with exfoliating gloves using Dr. Bronners soap.
2 Thumbs up to you for sharing this information with us. I know its very hard sometimes for us to share our flaws out in public but I really appreciate you sharing the tips and products you used to achieve this amazing outcome. I'm currently doing the same thing right now and I'm already seeing the results. I love your necklace and pendant as well, it really compliments you.
I can't thank you enough! my armpit discoloration is a huge insecurity of mine. I'm half French and my skin is practically translucent from being so pale and my hair grows abnormally fast. therefore my underarms look darker like I haven't shaved. you're a life saver ❤❤❤
New Subbie here, I just wanted you all (beginner shavers) to know that dark underarms is totally avoidable. 1. always shave your underarms last (the steam will open your pores and make the stubble stand straight up.) and on a consistent basis. 2. Shave them going in a downward direction only. 3. Use Jojoba oil before deodorant. 4. Make sure that your razor is always sharp. Never use a disposable razor more than once. These are the tips that my mom gave me on shaving when I was 12 and I have never had an ingrown hair or any hyper pigmentation even though I'm Black and prone to both. Good luck!
X'O Twod It's not necessary to get that close of a shave. If you have hair that grows in both directions, waxing your underarms after a trim is your best bet.
I've never really thought about my dark armpits until recently. I've had them ever since I could remember, but they weren't a problem for me, but now idk why but it's really bothering me.
Same... For me, it's causey.bf pointed it out one day.. it never super bothered me. It did, but it didn't. And then he said something, and was like, is that cause of your coffee scrub? Cause he knows I use that, I lied and said yes... But it's made me very aware of them, and sometimes I don't wanna be intimate in the day time or with lights on where he might see..
My dark underarms are my biggest insecurity! It just looks dirty when in reality it's not. I actually have that same kojie soap for dark spots on my face and I swear by it! Just recently stared using it for my armpits but haven't been consistent and haven't used a spin brush. Going to buy a new brush for my clarisonic and use it specifically for my armpits. Gotta get them ready for the summer! This video was helpful. Thank you for this
Great information! This is very helpful. I have used all the other brushes on my spin brush except for the body brush. I am definitely giving it a try now. My grandmother used this remedy to lighten her elbows. Cut a lemon in half, squeeze out a little juice to make it like a small cup and scrub each half on your elbows(can also he used for knees) Do not rinse just moisturize with vaseline.Lemons have bleaching and exfoliating properties. Afterwards keep areas away from direct sunlight.
Listen.....girl your camera and editing skills are so fucking fire like this shit is clearer than my tv. My eyes had to adjust to this bomb ass quality. I love your channel and keep doing your thing!!! ❤
Jesus your hair takes 3 weeks to grow back after waxing? I tried waxing and mine grew back stubble in 2 days. Waxing isn't worth it for me 😂 your hair growth is slow girl!
I love your hair and you inspired me to go natural and embrace my natural hair and come to find my hair is flourishing and is very healthy thank you again
Women suffer these things period. I personally think it's because of some of these "hygiene" practices. razors makes cuts on your skin and scars it up, even if you don't see it, using these hygiene products with so many unhealthy chemicals it in it fucks up our skin(they do this to make us buy more products lol. they know that if we found out we only need a few products to take care of our bodies that would mean less money for they overall) it's even in pads and tampons and our food and shit. they poison us just enough to not be dead immediately, so they can take advantage of our half to barely functioning minds.
I agree, it is definitely more of a problem with WOC, there's very few white girls who discoloration in these places. Some do, but a lot of times it's just in there thighs or me neck if they are overweight due to friction. But it's not naturally as much of an issue there
I recently started using the Arm & Hammer Essentials Deodorant in the scent "Fresh." It is aluminum free and paraben free. I haven't experienced any irritation, dryness, or under-arm odor since using it. This is a wonderful deodorant to use if you're searching for a cheap (~$2/stick), natural alternative. It also has a nice, neutral scent.
I use the exact same steps. I also use potato slices at night. For deodorant I use crystal rock. My underarms were a lot darker than yours and I'm an nc45. They are now even, if not maybe a bit lighter than the rest of my body.
CeeCee Harris use a thin slice and rub it for a few seconds. I leave it overnight and wash off during my morning shower. I also use koji, exfoliate with a spin brush (not this one), and crystal rock deodorant.
Liza Delyla I just told my mother about your post. She used to always say that her mom used to say (back in the 40s 50s) that people with arm pit stink used or should use an "Irish potato" underneath their arms. smh Alllll this time I thought she was crazy for coming up with this but here you are in 2017 on the innanets talking about it. 😂😂😂😂😂wow!
can't thank you enough for comming out here and showing us one on your insecurities to help us solve an issue we share and also that amazing discount. I've wanted to buy an exfoliation brush for years and I just bought one. lots of love your way keep making videos 💕💕
When i was about 5 or 6, I saw my mom using a Deodorant so as an innocent curious child, I also put some on my armpit. My mom was furious. it burned my armpit and it became super dark. 😭 I've been insecure about it since.
Loved your video... I always suffered with dark underarms and of course growing up with all brothers they will always make fun of me about it.... I'm the type of girl that loves summer time and dresses and sleeveless tops I'm just always extra careful not to lift my arms when I wear the clothes that I love. And trust me I've tried all types of ways to lighten them but nothing really worked. I'm gonna try out your routine. I also just bought that exfoliating brush you have. I'm so glad the code still worked :)
Thank you for this tip. I can't stand my dark underarms. As for the soap, you can do what my mother and i do. Cut up the orange soap into smaller pieces to fit into empty bottle, add 3 or 4 pieces to an old soap bottle and add hot water. This helps melt the soap and turns into liquid and lasts longer. Let it sit overnight and viola !!!!!!!! As you know this soap is very soapy so you don't need a bunch of pieces. If the bottle is 11oz or smaller, just add 2, 12oz & up add 3 or more. This has last us for a very long time
Even though I don't suffer from anything dark on my skin, these were some good tips. l definitely learnt from this. l am gonna start to use aluminum free deodorants because now and then my arms are sensitive depending on the deodorant that l am using at the time, and ofcourse I don't want darkened armpits. Prevention is better than cure! Thanks for sharing!
Kojie San is very popular here in the Philippines . We can buy it over the counter. It's really effective but easily to dissolved in water because of the ingredient - glycerin. 4 years of using kojie san soap and cream. My arm pit is really light and smooth .
Kojie San is VERY popular here in the Philippines. It really works! Whitens your skin (it can be used on your face but wear sunscreen & dont stay under the sun) and dries out pimples. It is a really really nice product tho u need to moisturize right after since it can be drying
I did this and the result was instant 10shades lighter just from exfoliating!will look for the soap and deo to compliment the results.thanks gal for the tip.
I use Native natural deodorant which is also aluminum free. I buy it online. My dark underarms started AFTER I started using this deodorant. Also, Dr. Bronner's castille soap is amazing! I use the peppermint scented. Thank you for this video.
TeeMa J I just started using Native too and noticed this week! Not sure if I want to continue but it’s the best natural deodorant I’ve found that works.
I'm allergic to aluminum, so I've tried out many different aluminum-free and natural deodorants. My favorite by far is Tom's of Maine, as it at least feels like it helps with sweating, and not just will odor. I'm also pretty sure it's natural. The deodorants that are like crystals that you roll on are sort of annoying and don't help with sweating at all. But obviously, to each her own!
I definitely think deodorants contribute to the dark armpits. I have been trying to avoid deodorants for a long time. I don't think it is healthy for your body. women with breast cancer are often advised not use them although they have not found any conclusive link. many of the natural deordants are ineffective. however look for the ones that say benefit demonstrated in clinical trial. I found one with tea tree oil and it works well but not easy to apply (woods body goods). I have also tried toms but I sweat a lot in the summer and I didn't want to stink at work.Take it easy on the armpits they look good. don't overdo it. funny I ended up with a reaction to the soft and dry.
I definitely agree. I cannot use Ban, Soft n Dri and clear deodorants they make my armpits very dark but with discontinued use the extreme darkness went away.
OH MY I knew it was that soap when I saw you applying it on the spin brush! That's actually a very famous soap in PH *o* I never knew how effective that is until I saw this vid! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and tips you don't know how much life you've saved because of your genuine contents and i love and appreciate you for that girl
Thank you for taking time to share this with details and the places you get the items for. Also you are beautiful inside and out. I say this because you take the time to care for others.
Love love love this video. These are the topics I search for constantly...the things people are too embarassed about but we aren't alone! I've been researching on many different ways to have the same results. but now I know which way really does work!Thanks girl!!!
Try lime juice it will lighten the skin and act as deodorant ! It worked for my daughter . Deodorant has too many chemicals that stay on the skin and mix with normal bacteria hence the dark underarms.
Thanks for your video! I bought the Vanity brush and switched to the Soft & Dri deodorant and exfoliated regularly and my underarms are back to normal! I am soo happy! :) I was soo insecure about the way they looked. It did take a while but well worth it! Thanks again ! :)
The website for the spin brush is on sale right now!! It’s a Black Friday in July sale for 76% off. I ordered mine, it came out to 28.98. The brush is on sale for 23.99 then 4.99 for standard shipping which is 5-7 business days
I have very dark underarms. I've started using Kojie soap twice a day for 5 minutes for underarm. I exfoliate with body exfoliator from body shop (not a brush) but might try the brush. For night time I then use cocoa butter with vitamin E to moisturise my underarm. Then for deodorant I use natural deodorant from Holland and barrett called salt of the earth. I'll try to come back to this comment with updates. Update: kojic soap didnt work I think made worse!
I know it some years but I’m glad you just simplify what you have to do. People using lemons, potatoes peels, bananas peels, etc. just simply spend extra time focusing the area!
Thanks for the tip girl! I also stopped using deodorants that are not all natural. You should try the Schmidt's and the bergamot lime is my favorite! Definitely worth trying.
Great tips! The only thing I would recommend is try lasering. Waxing was a good alternative to shaving, but lasering my underarms changed my life. I struggled with hairy pits and wax appointments were happening too soon, but since I got laser I have shaved in over a year! It's amazing and SO worth the money. It does not hurt that much and you will save money in the long run. Also waxing makes the pores bigger cause you are ripping the hair out. I noticed that even tho I was hair free the pores were big and not looking cute. So try looking into waxing! Also I know ppl who rub lemon on their underarms for like 5 mins, wait then wash it, and it works!
I am Going through detox period because I switched to natural deodorant and believe my Armpit are getting darker because of It, your results are awesome!!! I’m starting this process today!!
Awesome tips. I think African American women have this problem. I will start this process with my daughter so that she won't go through what I and my sisters did. Thank you!
Mine lightened a lot after using ( lemon, cucumber, potato juice) then put it into a fridge because lemons when they are cold they won't burn your armpits. And I use a moisturizer for sensitive skin ( no perfume in it) works Amaizing. You HAVE to moisturize everyDay Especially after a shower because your pores will open up. I also used wax sheets and they removed a lot of dead skin. It took me 2 months and it lightened a lot but it's still has some darkness to it. Mabey if I continued on that for a good 6 months it will disappear :) ( just an advice)
@@englishwithaltini It definitely did get lighter. I'm doing it for more than a month now. The difference is not like in the video but at least there's progress. I will still continue doing it. 😁
I've never waxed but shaving with coconut oil and using an electronic shaver changed my life! I need to exfoliate more maybe as I only do so once a week. Great tip on using the spin brush will definitely be incorporating it into my routine for that use now .
Lush has a natural deodorant called aromaco. I have only used it for two days I made the switch because I get blackheads and clogged pores but so far this has been working I was nervous of it wearing off at the gym but it didn't. hope this recommendation helps
Do you use the same process to lighten your knees? My knees have been an insecurity of mine since I was a kid to the point where I haven't worn shorts or dresses in a decade because I hate my knees
This is my first comment ever on someone’s page lol , this video caught my interest, I have just looked up everything you used & for sure will be buying them to see if it works for me *fingers crossed*
Great video! I ordered that skin lightening soap for my son Bc it was recommended by another TH-camr so I'm excited to see what it does for him. Going to try the natural soap as well. Thank! Very informative!
I think I just found a solution to my problem. I have been obsessed lately trying to find a remedy how to lighten my underarm. I tried using an injectable whitening agent, soaps, pills, creams but still, it didn't work. I stopped using deodorants as well and rather use natural potassium alum and had laser treatments thinking that it may help lighten my underarm but nothing worked. I hope this time it is going to work for me. Good thing I have a spin brush with me already and the whitening soap (Kojie San) that she is using is the whitening soap that I have been using for years already and it really works wonder with me as well especially when I was still living in the Philippines but it doesn't work as much when I moved to Australia 2 years ago. I think it's the hot/humid weather is one of the causative factors for it. But, I will definitely try this everyday. I hope it works with me as well. :)
I use the same soap, it's active ingredient is kojic acid and we love it hear back home. I buy the scraps/cutoffs from the manufacturer at about 4$ a kilo. Also for natural deo, I put about 4 tablets of vitamin c and add a thumb size amount of pure aloe vera to that, let it sit. It'll become lotion-y in consistency and that's what I use as a deo; it alse exfoliates lightly and has actually lightened my underarms quite a bit (mine looked the same as your before). I love your delivery, btw, not scarily cheery. New subbie!

Something extra for anyone is if you use deodorant make sure you read what all is in it. I use dove dry spray “ helps restore skin to its natural tone” and it has made my armpits much lighter now it’s the only thing I use. It’s only to help to add to your routine not replace it.
Denise Shantyle yes but it takes time tho I use it everywhere it's really good and safe for the skin and face even great as a shampoo makes it smooths and even skin tone I just use a rag to clean with but I do use a spin brush on my face
For yall who is on their journey to having an even toned armpit keep going ! I've had dark armpit for 1 year, it made me really insecure to the point that i never wore tshirts only sweaters, hoodies, long sleeved shirt. Now i had been exfoliating weekly (2-3 times a week) using a scrub. And every day (sometimes i skip) i would use a mask for my armpits, and also using coconut oil as a moisturizer cause my armpit is dry af :v
Lone Deodorant is a great brand. It has no aluminum, no propylene glycol (antifreeze) and no baking soda. I've been using it for a few months and I love it. It cost me $10 in the US.
Thank you Ms. Lady. Good information. I've been getting frustrated with this for over 6 years. It is very embarrassing to wear tank tops. Thank you again.🙂🤗
I'm glad you've got such great results. However I've been trying lemon and sugar and haven't got much of an improvement and have been looking to get the koji soap. I'm living in the Uk and for some reason the koji soap can't be shipped here. I've heard about it from last year and every time I check online it says it can't be shipped to the UK. Could you buy some and sell it to your subscribers overseas please. If be the first to buy it.
MonShan Thoms I use koji soap, for my underarms cuz i had black arms because i scratched it too much and it became black but when i used kojic it made my skin very bery light oj the undersrm area, Im from aus that lives in Philippines and kojic soap is everywhere here:)
Try adding turmeric. I do a tumeric, honey and lemon juice mix. I exfoliate under my arms then apply the mix leaving it on for 15-20 minutes then exfoliate again (gentler). I do it 2-3 times per week and it's helping a lot. I'm gonna start incorporating her tips too. Hope it helps !!
Great Natural deodorant... try Green Beaver. I just started using it. They come in a few different scents. I get my stash from well.ca, but I'm sure you can find it in stores. I've been using different brand natural deodorants for 7+ years and this brand is in the very top of my list. The scent is not over powering and complements any fragrances you use. They also have a non scented type. Edit to add: the Green Beaver Company is Canadian too! Sorry if this "review" sounds like a paid endorsement. I'm a marketer so sometimes I come off like that. I have no affiliation to the company. The stuff just works!
I've been using Native Deodorant for a few weeks as a more natural alternative to drugstore options and I really love it so far! It keeps sweat in check and the scents they have are amazing!
Also, i sweat really bad under my arms that's why i use degree and mitchum womens deodorants. Its so sad I stay away from bright tops because of this. I just put panty liners on the armpit area of the shirt to catch my sweat so it wont leave a stain, unfortunately
There are prescription deodorants that can stop the sweating if you apply it once or twice a week right before bedtime. It totally works, stops the sweat and when you don't sweat at all, you don't even need deodorant every day and can wear more than just white and black shirts :). You probably have what is called hyperhidrosis, look it up if you haven't heard of it. One of the deodorants is called drysol if I'm not mistaken but you have to see your doc so he/she can write a prescription(which takes a minute tops)
I was just telling my boyfriend how I hate my armpits now lol. thankyou for posted this I'm going to try all the tips you provided, can't wait to see results.
I've had the same problem for as long as I can remember. I will start doing this for sure! Thank you so much for the tips. What moisturizer/lotion do you use?
I have tried several natural deodorants and they have not worked or they caused irritation. However I just discovered Schmidt's Naturals deodorants and I am loving them to far. They have many to choose from and it actually manages my odor/wetness. You will go through a detox process where you may smell strongly for a couple weeks but then it passes and your underarms will feel amazing. I definitely recommend trying them out.
I don't know if anyone shared already but Target, Whole Foods & the Vitamin Shoppe sells the Dr. Bronner soap. I also get them from the Thrive Market online. I LOVE them!! Thanks for sharing your tips! I'm going to try some of them starting this week 👍👍
I recently thought about exfoliating my whole body, you know buying a body scrub instead of using a regular cloth and soap. I'll definitely try this method.

I notice a lot of woc suffer from darken underarms, elbows, and knees. I'm pretty light but I suffer from the same thing. I wonder why that is 🤔
Women suffer these things period. I personally think it's because of some of these "hygiene" practices. razors makes cuts on your skin and scars it up, even if you don't see it, using these hygiene products with so many unhealthy chemicals it in it fucks up our skin(they do this to make us buy more products lol. they know that if we found out we only need a few products to take care of our bodies that would mean less money for they overall) it's even in pads and tampons and our food and shit. they poison us just enough to not be dead immediately, so they can take advantage of our half to barely functioning minds.
***** I never said all women. I'll make another point on that note, you do not know ALL women's experiences. Period.
Awesome zebra because you have pigments
Awesome zebra everyone suffers from it but the more melanin you have the worse. You are still technically considered a WOC
I agree, it is definitely more of a problem with WOC, there's very few white girls who discoloration in these places. Some do, but a lot of times it's just in there thighs or me neck if they are overweight due to friction. But it's not naturally as much of an issue there
I recently started using the Arm & Hammer Essentials Deodorant in the scent "Fresh." It is aluminum free and paraben free. I haven't experienced any irritation, dryness, or under-arm odor since using it. This is a wonderful deodorant to use if you're searching for a cheap (~$2/stick), natural alternative. It also has a nice, neutral scent.
+Ebony C thank you
yess! the same brand in "scent free" is good too.
I use that one and love it.
I use the exact same steps. I also use potato slices at night. For deodorant I use crystal rock. My underarms were a lot darker than yours and I'm an nc45. They are now even, if not maybe a bit lighter than the rest of my body.
+Liza Delyla oh wow. That's awesome
Liza Delyla How do you use the potato slice? What do I need to do?
CeeCee Harris use a thin slice and rub it for a few seconds. I leave it overnight and wash off during my morning shower. I also use koji, exfoliate with a spin brush (not this one), and crystal rock deodorant.
Liza Delyla I just told my mother about your post. She used to always say that her mom used to say (back in the 40s 50s) that people with arm pit stink used or should use an "Irish potato" underneath their arms. smh Alllll this time I thought she was crazy for coming up with this but here you are in 2017 on the innanets talking about it. 😂😂😂😂😂wow!
@Liza Delyla how long it takes
I am here after only one week of using you method and i see a big difference. I am here again to say Thank You 💛
can't thank you enough for comming out here and showing us one on your insecurities to help us solve an issue we share and also that amazing discount. I've wanted to buy an exfoliation brush for years and I just bought one. lots of love your way keep making videos 💕💕
From the bottom of my heart I really want to thank you for uploading this video
When i was about 5 or 6, I saw my mom using a Deodorant so as an innocent curious child, I also put some on my armpit. My mom was furious. it burned my armpit and it became super dark. 😭 I've been insecure about it since.
Loved your video... I always suffered with dark underarms and of course growing up with all brothers they will always make fun of me about it.... I'm the type of girl that loves summer time and dresses and sleeveless tops I'm just always extra careful not to lift my arms when I wear the clothes that I love. And trust me I've tried all types of ways to lighten them but nothing really worked. I'm gonna try out your routine. I also just bought that exfoliating brush you have. I'm so glad the code still worked :)
You're Gorgeous!
That Hair Colour Is Poppinggg! ♡
Thank you for this tip. I can't stand my dark underarms. As for the soap, you can do what my mother and i do. Cut up the orange soap into smaller pieces to fit into empty bottle, add 3 or 4 pieces to an old soap bottle and add hot water. This helps melt the soap and turns into liquid and lasts longer. Let it sit overnight and viola !!!!!!!! As you know this soap is very soapy so you don't need a bunch of pieces. If the bottle is 11oz or smaller, just add 2, 12oz & up add 3 or more. This has last us for a very long time
Even though I don't suffer from anything dark on my skin, these were some good tips. l definitely learnt from this. l am gonna start to use aluminum free deodorants because now and then my arms are sensitive depending on the deodorant that l am using at the time, and ofcourse I don't want darkened armpits. Prevention is better than cure! Thanks for sharing!
Kojie San is very popular here in the Philippines . We can buy it over the counter. It's really effective but easily to dissolved in water because of the ingredient - glycerin. 4 years of using kojie san soap and cream. My arm pit is really light and smooth .
Kojie San is VERY popular here in the Philippines. It really works! Whitens your skin (it can be used on your face but wear sunscreen & dont stay under the sun) and dries out pimples. It is a really really nice product tho u need to moisturize right after since it can be drying
I did this and the result was instant 10shades lighter just from exfoliating!will look for the soap and deo to compliment the results.thanks gal for the tip.
i use that soap on my face and ive been getting compliments everyday, i wish i was kidding
I use Native natural deodorant which is also aluminum free. I buy it online. My dark underarms started AFTER I started using this deodorant. Also, Dr. Bronner's castille soap is amazing! I use the peppermint scented. Thank you for this video.
TeeMa J I just started using Native too and noticed this week! Not sure if I want to continue but it’s the best natural deodorant I’ve found that works.
i noticed the same thing with the Native deodorant.
I've been using a half of a lemon/lime for years and it works like a charm!💕
This video really helps, i like how the tips were easy and simple and weren’t expensive. Thanx🤗.
I'm allergic to aluminum, so I've tried out many different aluminum-free and natural deodorants. My favorite by far is Tom's of Maine, as it at least feels like it helps with sweating, and not just will odor. I'm also pretty sure it's natural. The deodorants that are like crystals that you roll on are sort of annoying and don't help with sweating at all. But obviously, to each her own!
+Maiya Thanks!
Which on do you specifically get? I’m also having the same issue
I definitely think deodorants contribute to the dark armpits. I have been trying to avoid deodorants for a long time. I don't think it is healthy for your body. women with breast cancer are often advised not use them although they have not found any conclusive link. many of the natural deordants are ineffective. however look for the ones that say benefit demonstrated in clinical trial. I found one with tea tree oil and it works well but not easy to apply (woods body goods). I have also tried toms but I sweat a lot in the summer and I didn't want to stink at work.Take it easy on the armpits they look good. don't overdo it. funny I ended up with a reaction to the soft and dry.
Its the aluminum in the deodorant that can cause cancer and if you have breast cancer you are supposed to avoid the aluminum and toxins.
try lush! i use their deodorant and they are the best!
I definitely agree. I cannot use Ban, Soft n Dri and clear deodorants they make my armpits very dark but with discontinued use the extreme darkness went away.
Thank you, my daughter is having this issue and at 19 she is self conscious about it. I will have her try these tips
How did your daughter go? Did it work?
you're like..a magic book of helpful tips and tricks for hair, body, everything
So relatable. Thank you! First video I’ve seen with someone showing personal experience. Helped tremendously
OH MY I knew it was that soap when I saw you applying it on the spin brush! That's actually a very famous soap in PH *o* I never knew how effective that is until I saw this vid! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and tips you don't know how much life you've saved because of your genuine contents and i love and appreciate you for that girl
Thank you for taking time to share this with details and the places you get the items for. Also you are beautiful inside and out. I say this because you take the time to care for others.
WOW.... this is what I call an extensive and complete review and I thank you for that
Glad it was helpful!
Love love love this video. These are the topics I search for constantly...the things people are too embarassed about but we aren't alone! I've been researching on many different ways to have the same results. but now I know which way really does work!Thanks girl!!!
.
Try lime juice it will lighten the skin and act as deodorant ! It worked for my daughter . Deodorant has too many chemicals that stay on the skin and mix with normal bacteria hence the dark underarms.
Thanks for your video! I bought the Vanity brush and switched to the Soft & Dri deodorant and exfoliated regularly and my underarms are back to normal! I am soo happy! :) I was soo insecure about the way they looked. It did take a while but well worth it! Thanks again ! :)
The website for the spin brush is on sale right now!! It’s a Black Friday in July sale for 76% off. I ordered mine, it came out to 28.98. The brush is on sale for 23.99 then 4.99 for standard shipping which is 5-7 business days
I have very dark underarms. I've started using Kojie soap twice a day for 5 minutes for underarm. I exfoliate with body exfoliator from body shop (not a brush) but might try the brush. For night time I then use cocoa butter with vitamin E to moisturise my underarm. Then for deodorant I use natural deodorant from Holland and barrett called salt of the earth. I'll try to come back to this comment with updates.
Update: kojic soap didnt work I think made worse!
Have you had any results? Where did you get the soap!
I know it some years but I’m glad you just simplify what you have to do. People using lemons, potatoes peels, bananas peels, etc. just simply spend extra time focusing the area!
Thanks for the tip girl! I also stopped using deodorants that are not all natural. You should try the Schmidt's and the bergamot lime is my favorite! Definitely worth trying.
One that is better than Schmidt and all the other natural deodorants is Lumé.
Great tips! The only thing I would recommend is try lasering. Waxing was a good alternative to shaving, but lasering my underarms changed my life. I struggled with hairy pits and wax appointments were happening too soon, but since I got laser I have shaved in over a year! It's amazing and SO worth the money. It does not hurt that much and you will save money in the long run. Also waxing makes the pores bigger cause you are ripping the hair out. I noticed that even tho I was hair free the pores were big and not looking cute. So try looking into waxing! Also I know ppl who rub lemon on their underarms for like 5 mins, wait then wash it, and it works!
Thank you lady! this was so great, I had switched deodorant but was not exfoliating. My underarms are getting so much better
I am Going through detox period because I switched to natural deodorant and believe my Armpit are getting darker because of It, your results are awesome!!! I’m starting this process today!!
Awesome tips. I think African American women have this problem. I will start this process with my daughter so that she won't go through what I and my sisters did. Thank you!
Mine lightened a lot after using ( lemon, cucumber, potato juice) then put it into a fridge because lemons when they are cold they won't burn your armpits. And I use a moisturizer for sensitive skin ( no perfume in it) works Amaizing. You HAVE to moisturize everyDay Especially after a shower because your pores will open up. I also used wax sheets and they removed a lot of dead skin. It took me 2 months and it lightened a lot but it's still has some darkness to it. Mabey if I continued on that for a good 6 months it will disappear :) ( just an advice)
Currently on my 3rd day. I really hope this works. I do it twice a day too.
yes it should
Any update?
@@englishwithaltini It definitely did get lighter. I'm doing it for more than a month now. The difference is not like in the video but at least there's progress. I will still continue doing it. 😁
I just purchased my spin brush using ur discount code!! Liked ur video so informative & I can see a huge difference! ! finally I got that spin brush!!
I've never waxed but shaving with coconut oil and using an electronic shaver changed my life! I need to exfoliate more maybe as I only do so once a week. Great tip on using the spin brush will definitely be incorporating it into my routine for that use now .
what kind of electric shaver do you use?
Lush has a natural deodorant called aromaco. I have only used it for two days I made the switch because I get blackheads and clogged pores but so far this has been working I was nervous of it wearing off at the gym but it didn't. hope this recommendation helps
+Lisa Janai thanks
Do you use the same process to lighten your knees? My knees have been an insecurity of mine since I was a kid to the point where I haven't worn shorts or dresses in a decade because I hate my knees
+Shae Andrews yes
same! and I have so many scars, so I also never wear shorts or dresses
JourneyTo WaistLength I don't have the body brush I have the facial one will that work also
+Kamoy Buddle you try it
My knees look weird i dont like to expose them
This was so helpful, I needed these tips. And yes please to a body routine video.
Im glad you made this video, I've been working on lightening my underarms.
Oh wow I never thought of exfoliating my armpit.. I’m gonna do it right now. TY
That deodorant u r using is literally the only one i use. It really help lighting my underarm
+Cynthia Louis yes i love it
This is my first comment ever on someone’s page lol , this video caught my interest, I have just looked up everything you used & for sure will be buying them to see if it works for me *fingers crossed*
Great video! I ordered that skin lightening soap for my son Bc it was recommended by another TH-camr so I'm excited to see what it does for him. Going to try the natural soap as well. Thank! Very informative!
+Danielle Covington no problem
Did it work for you??
I think I just found a solution to my problem. I have been obsessed lately trying to find a remedy how to lighten my underarm. I tried using an injectable whitening agent, soaps, pills, creams but still, it didn't work. I stopped using deodorants as well and rather use natural potassium alum and had laser treatments thinking that it may help lighten my underarm but nothing worked. I hope this time it is going to work for me. Good thing I have a spin brush with me already and the whitening soap (Kojie San) that she is using is the whitening soap that I have been using for years already and it really works wonder with me as well especially when I was still living in the Philippines but it doesn't work as much when I moved to Australia 2 years ago. I think it's the hot/humid weather is one of the causative factors for it. But, I will definitely try this everyday. I hope it works with me as well. :)
I use the same soap, it's active ingredient is kojic acid and we love it hear back home. I buy the scraps/cutoffs from the manufacturer at about 4$ a kilo. Also for natural deo, I put about 4 tablets of vitamin c and add a thumb size amount of pure aloe vera to that, let it sit. It'll become lotion-y in consistency and that's what I use as a deo; it alse exfoliates lightly and has actually lightened my underarms quite a bit (mine looked the same as your before). I love your delivery, btw, not scarily cheery. New subbie!
I think the exfoliating thing definitely works as I've tried it on my arms due to scars and it's becoming lighter which I'm really happy about

JourneyTo WaistLength is this still available?
+Jeanette Diaz yes
JourneyTo WaistLength Would this work with other dark body parts (elbows,knees, etc...)
+Jiselle Rodriguez yes
Something extra for anyone is if you use deodorant make sure you read what all is in it. I use dove dry spray “ helps restore skin to its natural tone” and it has made my armpits much lighter now it’s the only thing I use. It’s only to help to add to your routine not replace it.
did u try natural African black soap it's good too for that
+Angelena ballerina I haven't used it years. Thanks, I'll revisit
Angelena ballerina sure is, I just started using black soap from the african store and i already notice a change
00 Anderson what is it called
mina begum its called African Black Soap
Denise Shantyle yes but it takes time tho I use it everywhere it's really good and safe for the skin and face even great as a shampoo makes it smooths and even skin tone I just use a rag to clean with but I do use a spin brush on my face
Definitely following this regimen and adding weekly bentonite clay masks to detox my pits 🙋🏾♀️
For yall who is on their journey to having an even toned armpit keep going ! I've had dark armpit for 1 year, it made me really insecure to the point that i never wore tshirts only sweaters, hoodies, long sleeved shirt. Now i had been exfoliating weekly (2-3 times a week) using a scrub. And every day (sometimes i skip) i would use a mask for my armpits, and also using coconut oil as a moisturizer cause my armpit is dry af :v
And i am really happy and proud of myself cause i have been consistent with my routine
which scrub
Lone Deodorant is a great brand. It has no aluminum, no propylene glycol (antifreeze) and no baking soda. I've been using it for a few months and I love it. It cost me $10 in the US.
I’m in the EXACT same boat, as far as wearing long-sleeve t-shirts to the gym 😭 I really hope this works out for me too!
SAME 😭😭😭
Thank you Ms. Lady. Good information. I've been getting frustrated with this for over 6 years. It is very embarrassing to wear tank tops. Thank you again.🙂🤗
I'm glad you've got such great results. However I've been trying lemon and sugar and haven't got much of an improvement and have been looking to get the koji soap. I'm living in the Uk and for some reason the koji soap can't be shipped here. I've heard about it from last year and every time I check online it says it can't be shipped to the UK. Could you buy some and sell it to your subscribers overseas please. If be the first to buy it.
MonShan Thoms I live in U.K. Too I ordered mine from eBay.
NEA Adams i recieved my trial soap last week try ebay
Oh that's good I'll make sure to order one too. Thanks for the info guys. ♥️
MonShan Thoms I use koji soap, for my underarms cuz i had black arms because i scratched it too much and it became black but when i used kojic it made my skin very bery light oj the undersrm area, Im from aus that lives in Philippines and kojic soap is everywhere here:)
Try adding turmeric. I do a tumeric, honey and lemon juice mix. I exfoliate under my arms then apply the mix leaving it on for 15-20 minutes then exfoliate again (gentler). I do it 2-3 times per week and it's helping a lot. I'm gonna start incorporating her tips too. Hope it helps !!
I started using Schmidt's natural deodorant and I love it! It's available in several scents and there is even a sensitive skin option.
Girl I'm now finding out about have to lotion my underarm. It's not flakey or anything but I've been going about my life not lotioning my underarm.
Hey ☺️ Here I came first, your video is like ossaum 😘
Great Natural deodorant... try Green Beaver. I just started using it. They come in a few different scents. I get my stash from well.ca, but I'm sure you can find it in stores. I've been using different brand natural deodorants for 7+ years and this brand is in the very top of my list. The scent is not over powering and complements any fragrances you use. They also have a non scented type.
Edit to add: the Green Beaver Company is Canadian too!
Sorry if this "review" sounds like a paid endorsement. I'm a marketer so sometimes I come off like that. I have no affiliation to the company. The stuff just works!
+Napalie McG thanks
No problem! Just so you know, well.ca has all Green Beaver stuff on sale! 25% off.
I've been using Native Deodorant for a few weeks as a more natural alternative to drugstore options and I really love it so far! It keeps sweat in check and the scents they have are amazing!
Also, i sweat really bad under my arms that's why i use degree and mitchum womens deodorants. Its so sad I stay away from bright tops because of this. I just put panty liners on the armpit area of the shirt to catch my sweat so it wont leave a stain, unfortunately
There are prescription deodorants that can stop the sweating if you apply it once or twice a week right before bedtime. It totally works, stops the sweat and when you don't sweat at all, you don't even need deodorant every day and can wear more than just white and black shirts :). You probably have what is called hyperhidrosis, look it up if you haven't heard of it. One of the deodorants is called drysol if I'm not mistaken but you have to see your doc so he/she can write a prescription(which takes a minute tops)
try pink zote soap. its for laundry , but you can use it on your body. worked for me!
I was just telling my boyfriend how I hate my armpits now lol. thankyou for posted this I'm going to try all the tips you provided, can't wait to see results.
Arin Lester did u see any results
I found that soap at Target. It's really good, thanks for the tips! I'll be trying it
I've had the same problem for as long as I can remember. I will start doing this for sure! Thank you so much for the tips. What moisturizer/lotion do you use?
I have tried several natural deodorants and they have not worked or they caused irritation. However I just discovered Schmidt's Naturals deodorants and I am loving them to far. They have many to choose from and it actually manages my odor/wetness. You will go through a detox process where you may smell strongly for a couple weeks but then it passes and your underarms will feel amazing. I definitely recommend trying them out.
I don't know if anyone shared already but Target, Whole Foods & the Vitamin Shoppe sells the Dr. Bronner soap. I also get them from the Thrive Market online. I LOVE them!!
Thanks for sharing your tips! I'm going to try some of them starting this week 👍👍
+Racquel Barrett Thanks!
JourneyTo WaistLength you're welcome 😊
Sallys Beauty Supply sells Dr Bronners Soaps also!
I recently thought about exfoliating my whole body, you know buying a body scrub instead of using a regular cloth and soap. I'll definitely try this method.
Thanks for sharing about aluminum free deodorants. I just checked my deo, and it has aluminum! 😱 will be throwing that out!
With the one year warrenty it makes sense to get a new one every year...thank you. i might get this.
Your twist out looks amazing with the side part. I'm always #teamsidepart!
Love this!! First video that actually shows results, thanks!!
The struggles! thanks for the tips👌
Hey! I just bought spin brush by using your code!!! Thanks for sharing info!! Yassss
Your whitening soap is everywhere in PHILIPPINES! 😁
Yes i also got it from a phillipino shop in.Hong kong hahah
Benie does it actually lighten
@@NeonPinkClouds yes. It does lighten good. Every night take a shower and use it as your nightly lotion.
I'm so scared to use it😂...
I used it for like 3 weeks and it didnt help that much tbh
