Along with this deodorant, what else can we do to prevent hyperpigmentation? 

“We can be kind to the skin under our arms, especially as we welcome spring and summer and we’re going to be wearing fewer clothes. Don’t press too hard when you’re shaving and make sure you’re using a lubricant like a shaving gel, or, at the very least, soap, in between your skin and the razor. Make sure your razor is clean without any rust so we can prevent an infection. An infection will cause the body to produce coloring as it heals and that leads to hyperpigmentation as well. I even suggest taking your razor out of the shower, rinsing it, drying it and storing it in a dry place away from any humidity.

Be careful when waxing as well because when we wax we remove the hair and some skin as well, that’s just how it works. If you go to someone to get your wax done make you choose a specialist that knows how to take care of skin of color because our skin can pigment with just inflammation.”
