If you use Rexona or similar antiperspirants for a long time, your armpits may get darker because of irritation, buildup, or sensitivity to ingredients like aluminum salts and scents.

To fix this, you might want to move to a deodorant that doesn't contain aluminum or is hypoallergenic. Natural ones, like those with aloe vera or baking soda, are less likely to change the color of your skin.

To get rid of dark skin, you need to exfoliate and moisturize. Rub sugar on your skin or use a product with glycolic or lactic acid to get rid of dead skin cells and product buildup.

Then, use a moisturizing cream that has natural brighteners in it, like vitamin C or licorice root extract. Don't shave too often or use deodorant right after shaving, as this can make staining worse.

Call Rexona's customer service at 1-800-298-5018 if you think they caused this problem. Patch testing new items is always a good idea to keep your skin from getting irritated in the future.
