Some people have more pigmented areas of their bodies depending on melanin distribution, hormones or genetics. Underarms that are a darker shade than the rest of our body can make some of us self-conscious. Although we should all have great body positivity and reject societal expectations, it is not always easy. Pigmented underarms can give the appearance of being unshaven and some people just want an even skin tone. If you are one of those people then there is an easy and affordable solution to this problem. You already know that I love The Ordinary’s 7% glycolic acid and I have another use for it. First cleanse your underarms with a soap or African net sponge to remove any deodorant residue. Use the provided spout to pour about a tablespoon of the liquid into the cup of your hand. Rub it into your underarms and allow to air dry. You should start to see a significant difference in the appearance of your underarms in a week.
