Dark underarms are common yet very embarrassing. Same goes for dark elbows and knees. Oh and the back of the neck.

Why do they appear darker? Because we tend to neglect these parts. We unfortunately tend to focus on our faces and other parts of our body that we forget about these problems areas. As a result, dead layers pile up making these parts of our bodies darker.

Sure, there are tons of home remedies that you can try. Lemon for instance is a very popular suggestion on the internet. But if these natural remedies have not been effective for you, you may want to check Belo's Underarm Whitening Cream (Php 349, SM Supermarket). 






On the packaging, it says that it is clinically formulated to penetrate underarm skin and intensively whiten at the cellular level in just two weeks. How will this product do that, you may ask?

It targets darkening with Alpha Arbutin and Hydrooxyphenoxy Propionic Acid (Eh, scientific stuff).

How to use? Well just apply a pea-sized amount on both underarms. Good news though ladies, you may also use this product on other "neglected" parts of your bodies- elbows, knees and even your areolas!
