    Hey guys, I'd just like to say before I start, I'm sorry if I offend anyone with my terminology :-/

    Our family has darker skin in past generations, Spanish, Turkish and some others I think but because of this I have very dark body hair, arms, a line down my belly, Leg's, under my arms and I also have dark pigmentations around my mouth and under my arms.. Around my mouth I've managed to sort with regular exfoliation but under my arms I can't seem to shift.. I can't stop shaving as often as other people have suggested because the hair grows back very quickly, exfoliation hardly touches it.. I'm stumped really.. Has anyone else had this problem ??
    I'm really self conscious that if I raise my arms in my wedding dress that the camera will pick up the patches :-( My mum and H2B says its not noticable but to me its very obvious xxx

    waxing is far better but means letting it grow a bit..
    I feel your pain though my dads side are all quite dark.....i wax as it takes longer for the hair to grow back

    Get an epilator for under your arms. It will hurt like hell but you wont need to redo for at least 1-2 weeks. That way you won't be shaving constantly and it willgive you time to be able to concentrate on what you are trying to do to your underarms xx

    I never get anything of interest either hahaha. Maybe look into local clinics in your area all I did was google laser tattoo removal a couple of years ago and since I've been with this clinic they have always had really good deals on there's nearly always something on offer!

    h2b paid about £60 for mine think it is a silk epil but the onlyh draw back to mine is that is has to be conected to the mains which is a pain the butt. There are one that run off battery power when you charge them. The one i have has loads of interchangeable heads plus a lady shave one. I love it but wish i had more time to use it xx

    hair removal cream? it dissolves the hair so you don't get the little stubbly bits like you get with shaving? they sell small tubes of branded ones in £land. I use wilk0s own brand, 87p. xx

    wax it, hot wax can get the shorter hairs. Using a razor is probably contributing to the hyper pigmentation you're experiencing.
