Why do piquant places get dark?
Many people complain that their private parts often become dark. Although this is a common occurrence, it is not a serious cause for concern. However, there are rare cases of a condition called acanthokeratoderma.

Body care is an important component of most cosmetic procedures. Caring for intimate areas turns out to be the most difficult, since the skin in these places is sensitive, prone to various types of rashes, allergic reactions and darkening.
But darkened skin in sensitive areas makes us uncomfortable, and can even cause stress and self-doubt. Therefore, the question of how to whiten your armpits, or how to whiten the skin between your legs, is relevant for most of us.

Although it is completely normal to have dark skin in your private parts, this darkening can be caused by several medical reasons. Which you need to consider before bleaching your skin.
Exfoliation
Another way to lighten is to exfoliate the upper layers of the skin. Many girls believe that whitening products will be much more effective if applied after treating the skin with a scrub.

Lightening infusions and lotions

Face masks
In the hope of speeding up the whitening process, some girls daily subject themselves to all sorts of cosmetic procedures: masks, peelings, washing with various means, etc. However, instead of benefit, they only get harm. The skin also needs time to adapt to new care, and such non-stop exposure will only lead to damage and irritation. In fact, whitening procedures can be done 1-2 times a week. If you are sure that a particular mask has a gentle effect on the skin, you can use it daily. In a week. Then take a break for 7 days.
Use various creams and other substances
Use them to wash your skin and then start exfoliating.
Thanks to the use of creams, as well as other cosmetics, you will get great pleasure. Your actions will cause the top part of the skin (the part that was exposed to the negative effects of the sun) to peel off.

Lightening cream
Stores sell creams that have lightening properties. Be careful when using such products. Some of them contain so-called hydroquinone. This substance is quite dangerous to use. Because it is classified as a carcinogen.
Buy kojic acid cream instead. The latter was tested for a long time. And in the end they confirmed that it is safe to use. Accordingly, we were allowed to release similar products on the market.
Kojic acid should be added to the product in an amount of no more than 2%. It is quite safe to use. And thanks to it, your skin will become light.
Whitening Serum
Due to the high concentration of active ingredients, whitening serum is a powerful treatment. It is absolutely not suitable for irritated skin after sunbathing. In addition, too thick a consistency and a concentration of whitening ingredients can cause irritation even on healthy skin. Therefore, before applying the serum not to the entire face. Try it on a small area. Once you are sure that your skin reacts normally to this product, apply it all over your face.
How to whiten your face at home after sunbathing with instant wipes
If a tan was acquired using instant wipes (self-tanning), but the process ended in failure, then you can whiten your face at home using the following means:
- Vinegar + glycerin. In a glass or ceramic container, combine 6% table vinegar and pharmaceutical glycerin in equal quantities. Stir and add lemon juice to the mixture in the same amount. A cloth napkin is dipped into the finished product, which is then lightly wrung out and applied to the face. After 15 minutes, the procedure ends with washing with warm water.
- Parsley. You need to take a bunch of greens (about 50 g), chop it with a blender or knife and “extract” the juice from the vegetable pulp through gauze. Wipe your face with this juice with a cotton pad, apply the product in several layers, and wash your face only after 3 hours.
- Hydrogen peroxide + grapefruit juice. You need to combine the ingredients in a glass/ceramic bowl, mix and apply it to your face with cotton pads or sponges. The skin is lubricated several times in a row without breaks. You are allowed to wash your face 7 minutes after the last layer has dried.
The listed remedies most often eliminate the consequences of excessive tanning in one application, but if the desired results are not achieved, then the manipulation can be repeated only the next day. After the procedure, it is imperative to treat the skin with a moisturizer, because the ingredients from the compositions have a powerful drying property.
Professional products
If the natural options do not suit you, then doctors can effectively whiten problem skin using iontophoresis. This is a little expensive (in Cheboksary up to 500 rubles per session, and in Moscow - up to 700), but there is a guarantee for a long-lasting effect. Validity period is about a month. Ask cosmetologists in your city how much this procedure costs in their salon. When rinsing off, avoid intense friction; it is better to wet the clay with a washcloth, and then carefully remove the remaining mask.
Often pigment spots are removed using laser peeling, but here a lot depends on the reason for their appearance. Similarly, you can use chemical peeling with fruit acids.
Professional cosmetics will also help you whiten your face. Brands Mary Kay, CS2, Negru produce entire lines for lightening the epidermis. But, of course, the required action can be carried out in the shortest possible time only if an integrated approach is used.
Cucumber

For natural lightening, you can simply wipe your face with vegetable slices. A mask made from cucumber and sour cream helps to quickly whiten the skin and get rid of flaking. You need to keep it for 15–20 minutes.

Taking into account the level of activity, the daily fluid requirement is 1.5–2 liters. Drink at least 6 glasses of water daily. You can replace part of the norm with natural juices.
Use papaya scrub
Exotic fruits are often used in the production of cosmetics. Among them, papaya is one of the effective products for natural skin lightening. It contains acids, the plant enzyme papain. This active substance helps get rid of dead cells. Apply a scrub using a mixture of papaya puree, oatmeal and sugar twice a week.

If you follow the instructions, you can get rid of the problem in a couple of weeks. This is provided that the cause is not any disease. Then the pigmentation will appear again.
Cosmetics for skin lightening
An effective modern procedure is to use a laser to whiten facial skin. Many aesthetic medicine clinics or online beauty salons have special devices for resurfacing the skin or carefully removing its rough top layer. Getting rid of dead cells allows you to even out your skin tone and achieve noticeable lightening.
You should be careful with tablets and creams imported from China and Thailand. Local girls have had a cult of white skin for centuries, and nowadays manufacturers of cosmetic products actively take advantage of this.
Many creams contain mercury, which is poisonous to humans. Its permissible limit is exceeded thousands of times compared to its European and American counterparts. Of course, mercury gives a quick lightening effect, but when it accumulates in the skin, it poisons the body. The composition of the tablets with instructions written in hieroglyphs is a complete mystery that it is better not to try on yourself.
In beauty salons you can make a peeling or mask based on patented foreign cosmetics, but a whole course is needed to achieve the goal. Salon treatments are not cheap, so it is better to take care of your skin at home by choosing a suitable cream or mask made from natural ingredients.
