HOW TO LIGHTEN THE BIKINI AREA
HOW TO LIGHTEN THE BIKINI AREA
It sometimes happens that the skin around the bikini line/pubic area becomes darker, but the causes are often unknown.
Before understanding how to lighten these areas, we can assess the cause.
CAUSES
The main causes could be many and may vary from person to person such as: age, genetics and if you cannot figure out the primary cause, it is important to seek medical advice.
FRICTION one of the main causes is friction from external sources, such as jeans that are too tight can cause darker skin in parts of the pubis. Exercise and simply the normal rubbing of the skin can contribute to the production of more keratin, which also contains melanin and thus cause overlapping of these two elements and can in turn in turn darken or discolour the skin.
AGE With the passage of time, our bodies change. Especially in the pubic area, elasticity and thickness can change over time. The thinner the skin thickness becomes, the darker pigmentation can occur.
HORMONES One of the most common causes is hormones, especially in a production that is higher than normal. Oestrogen plays a major role, as its excess or sudden increase creates melanin production.
EPILATIONS Frequent epilations with bad products, especially with very hot products, could contribute to darkening of the skin.
How can the situation be prevented and improved?
Maintain a balanced PH
Avoid overly aggressive soaps
Wear airy clothes and avoid tight clothing.
Exfoliate the skin before epilation and regularly at least once a week to reduce and prevent hyperpigmentation.
Prefer sugarpaste or Brazilian waxes to the classic liposoluble ones (the temperature is higher)
Sugarpaste is used at body temperature and 45/50°C Brazilian wax does not stick to the skin but only removes the hair due to its incorporation.

Final considerations
Overall, we can establish that darker skin in the bikini area is very common.
The discomfort of darker skin can be solved with natural remedies or medical solutions 🙂
