Dark Inner Thighs & Underarm Thread III

[darkjuliet]

^thanks sis. Actually, naka-5th sesh na ako and wala pa din akong nakikitang difference sa shade. Though yung chicken skin mukha naman nag lessen nang very slight. May pinakita din sa aking before and after photos pero baka inedit lang nila lol. Dapat talaga you take your pix pa din.

Btw has anyone tried diamond peel for UA? Safe ba yun? Skinhouse kept bugging me na sabayan ko raw ng diamond peel yung revlite para mas effective eh. But I heard mas magiging prone ka raw sa cancer when you do it eh. Please enlighten me! Haha thanks!

Whatever skincare I apply on my face, I also apply on my underarms / groin area.  Toner, serum, vit c, moisturizer & sometimes tretinoin.  It greatly improved my underarms.  No need to buy a separate product.  Skin din naman yan  .  & ever since I had LHR, wala nang need for a deodorant.  I just wipe it with a toner or Eskinol.  Dove deo's selling point is may moisturizer & niacinamide kaya nakaka puti DAW.  So what I do is just put moisturizer on my underarms.  My moisturizer & serum has niacinamide din.  One of the reasons why underarms are dark is because it's dry.

^ I agree with what you said sis. I noticed how my underarms got darker after 2 sessions of diode laser. It wasn?t like this before I started the treatment. The lady from skinstation even said that my underarms are white already.

I took a closer look of my underarms just this morning and woah! I was surprised to see how dry the skin on this area is. Maybe it?s because of the diode laser? So I am thinking of applying body lotion on my ua right after taking a bath. Let us see how it works.

[vanity fair]

^ I don't think the Diode Laser caused your underarms to get dry.  Baka it's your deodorant or hormonal changes.  Kaya I don't use deodorant anymore is because I don't have hair on my underarms.  Sa hair follicles kasi nanggagaling yung smell.  & being Asian hindi naman talaga tayo nangangamoy like Caucasians.  May nabasa ako dating article about this dati explaining that Caucasians are more prone to underarm smell than Asians.  Naging habit na lang talaga natin as Filipinos to apply deodorant partly because of all the marketing / advertising we see.

^ I have been using the same deodorant naman. Nothing that im using is new. Same soap and same deo.

anyway, i addressed the dryness of my ua by applying the same lotion Ive been using for my eczema.

[Ms. Piggy]

Pumuti ang underarm ko sa eskinol and nivea cream sa evening then eskinol and tawas sa umaga.

Hi sis,

Have you consulted with a PDS dermatologists already? Bka kasi ma irritate yung skin mo better consult muna before applying it. Para malaman mo rin cause nung dry underarms mo. Pero hindi naman siya na burn or anything? baka kasi mataas yung setting na ginamit nila sayo.

try ko yung glutamax underarm and inner thigh cream for 2 months
nag lighten naman ng konti ang groin area ko

Hindi naman siya makati or any peeling involved?

Isn't eskinol too strong for the underarms? Mas sensitive kasi yung skin diyan plus prone to friction pa. Eskinol from what I know has a high content of alcohol which is something you should avoid for your face and underarms.

My UA improved so much from using baking soda every other day. I just mix it with water and apply it on my UA and let it sit there for about 10minutes. Even now that I'm pregnant, walang grey cast yung UA ko which was my fear kase nung unang pregnancy ko, migosh sa darkness level ang armpits ko.

Twice a week, I also apply a mask made of Aztec indian healing clay + water + 1 tbspoon apple cider vinegar. I apply this on my face and armpits and it also helped smoothen my skin.

No, I don't find Eskinol strong.  Contrary to popular belief, alcohol is not bad for the skin... There's a YTer named Dr Dray.  She's a dermatologist in the US.  Her videos are very informative & an eye opener.

I love Dr. Dray too! She listed the alcohols that are drying and moisturizing. But unfortunately, Alcohol Denat is a drying type of alcohol which is listed as the second ingredients of Eskinol toner so it's a no no. 😁

[vanity fair]

Alcohol in skin care is a personal choice.  But it's not bad.  Like parabens in skin care, na-demonize sya  https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/alcohol-denatured/

Totally agree, it's a personal choice. In fact, alcohols can't penetrate in the skin, it will just sit on top as what Dr. Dray said. I just won't put any drying ingredients on my skin. 😉

[Jiyongah]

"Alcohols like ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, alcohol denat, and methanol are used to make creams feel lighter, help other ingredients to penetrate your skin,  and as a preservative.

On the surface that all sounds OK BUT there is a downside.

These alcohols can cause dryness, irritation and breakouts. So we?re firm believers that they don?t have a place in skincare.

Bad alcohols when used in high concentrations in skincare deteriorate your skin?s protective barrier which means your skin is no longer effective at keeping moisture in. It also stimulates oil production which could lead to breakouts if your skin makes too much"

Anyone tried Dove underarm serum?

[iceheaven31]
