After i shave underarms the hairs are gone but the skin is really dark and looks like i dont shave!!?

Question

i use skintimate shave cream/gel....how can i get it to look clean?!

Answer 1

Thats because you hair is really dark. The only way that that will go away is to wax the hair out, it pulls out the roots and so you can't see the hair that is still left under the skin.

Good luck

Answer 2

Some women have darker hair roots than others. Even shaving can't remove the roots, so you're left with darker areas (like dark-haired guys, who look like they have 5 o'clock shadows all the time). Also, some womens' skin gets darker under the arms as they get older. I'm also told that some types of antiperspirants can cause this. If you suspect the hair roots are what you're seeing, you can get laser hair removal to eliminate the roots, or a hair bleach designed for the face and sensitive areas, to help make it less noticible. Hydroquinone is available over the counter in skin-fading creams to lighten naturally occuring darkened skin (for possible age-related pigmentation). The alternative for the darkening caused by deodorant/antiperspirant is to switch to an all-natural type for several weeks and see if it fades. One thing to remember, some ethnic groups have darker skin underarms than others, so this may be your skin's natural color- in which case, there may not be much you can do to change it. Good luck!

Answer 3

Hair removing cream is a well alternative--if it really works on you. It does not paintings for every person. The hairs can also be any duration whilst utilizing the cream and the outcome final approximately every week. Laser hair removing does not continually paintings, both. It's extra approximately a REDUCTION of hair as an alternative than whole removing, and the outcome are not as well on darker hair as they're on lighter hair. But, if the hair removing cream does not paintings, it is valued at a check out. You will have got to cross a couple of instances, even though, and it's luxurious.

Answer 4

It sounds like the skin is dry. It could actually be the deodorant you are using that is causing the problem and not the shaving (although the shaving doesn't really add more moisture so you might see the effect more). Try changing it. I had that problem and I used Secret and it totally took that away. If you are using Secret already then maybe visit a dermatologist so they can prescribe a whitening deodorant.

Good Luck.

Answer 5

That happens to me. I would wax it or maybe get a better razor. I use gilette razor. It's pink and the package says daisie razor. It's works pretty good. I wouldn't use shave cream. Water and a little bit of soap. It works great.

Answer 6

by any chance are you heavy, have olive skin, or wear dark clothing? any of these factors will cause the skin to darken under the arms, this will also happen where your legs rub together and behind the knees. If you are heavy try to loose some weight, if you have olive skin try moisturizer or that deodorant that advertizes softer skin, If you wear dark clothing just wash real good.

Answer 7

Maybe you have hyperdermapigmentation. It's where the skin is just darker in certain places. You can try some bleaching cream to lighten your skin. It can be a bit irritating, but it's not really bad. Good luck. 2D

Answer 8

make sure you are using a really sharp razor. sometimes that helps to get more of a clean shave.

Answer 9

Use lime skin as it makes the skin litter and smells nice as well.
