Buffer
Firstly, keeping them clean is most important. So use a buffer and clear your armpits to remove any residual of the deodorants or lint from clothes. It not only causes the skin to darken but also causes odour.
Shave
Use a fresh blade every time you shave. A blunt and old blade will not remove the hair as smoothly and might end up damaging your skin more.
Dry skin
Always make sure to dry your underarms before you apply any deodorant on. Also, make sure to use a mild, tried and tested deodorant as most deodorants have chemicals that will gradually darken your underarms.
