    What to do about dark underarms!
    All right so I've gone through most of the posts and topics about dark underams... and I don't know who to trust or what to order? Most people are saying the ones who are pormoting amira or godiva are just people who are trying to sell the creams.. its just a hoax to get us to buy their products so what should I doo? My underarms are dark and I just want them lightened I also have a few stretch marks on my knees which I want gone.. honestly someone who isn't 't going to benefit from this.. what should I do or try?

    There are something's that you can use that can lighten the skin under your arms that are not expensive creams or gimmicks or hoaxes. Something that you can do is shave your under arms. After you do that you can exfoliate under them with a GENTLE scrub. This will slew away all the dead skin cells. Then get some 100% cocoa butter (usually in the form of a stick) and rub it into your skin. The stick costs $1.00 and it hard but when it comes in contact with your skin it will become lotion like. This will help with lightening the area. There is also and aloe vera stick which is also in a 100% form. This is said to help in reducing scarring but I am not positive that it will lighten skin. There are also skin lighters... usually for elbows and knees... I don't know if it will work on underarms since this is considered a "delicate" area. Do not use skin bleaching creams as they may damage your skin even further. As for stretch marks I use Barmon and you can get it on eBay for cheap. It worked for me, but everyone's skin is different. Hope this helps!

    I also had a dark marks on my underarms. Now it's clear and smooth. I got rid of it by switching to waxing, using a lofa and switched to dove. No bleaching or drugs needed. Only draw back if your'e looking for a quick fix.. it won't be. It took about three weeks to see a difference. Good luck.

    That's quick enough isn't it?
    The advice is really good here :)

    Remember to be consistent with it OK :) Oh and try to avoid tight shirts especially near the dark area. Skin needs to breath. Hope it helps.

    I've actually only seen them in the US (any pharmacy). However, I've asked my brother who lives in London and he said Kelkoo has a version of the stick. I did a check online for you and


    Type in Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Swivel Stick

    Online shopping for black hair care and black skin care products. Roots & Sculpture. - For 2.99 (pounds)

    MultiPharmacy UK based online pharmacy carries it. It's 2.79 (pounds)

    Palmers Skin Care - It's 2.95

    Hope these sites help you.
