Underarm Pigmentation.
These can darken due to perspiration. The sweat doesn’t dry out properly in the folds of your underarms and produces uric acid which darkens your skin. Genetics, poor quality deodorants can also play a part.
Try waxing if you have dark pigmented hair as the roots of your hairs can stay visible under your skin if you just shave. Ingrown hairs can also make your underarms appear darker. If you use depilatory creams they too can cause darkness. Stop using them and see if you see a change.
Sensitive skins.
If you have sensitive skin make sure you choose products that are hypoallergenic. Try and stay away from anything with perfumes or essential oils.
Tomato in products can be really soothing for skins with broken capillaries and experiencing redness.
Try and avoid spicy foods, really hot showers and excessive alcohol as these will all contribute to an increase in redness and broken capillaries.
Stretch marks
Is a tearing of collagen from the skin. Once they are there I’m sorry to say its hard to remove. If they are red there is still blood flowing so there is hope to reduce the size. Bio Oil or certified organic rose hip oil is your best friend in this case. Exercise, exfoliating and massaging is great to encourage blood flow and to deliver oxygen to the area. And of course MOISTURISE.
