You can use a lightening agent that contains Hydroquinone. It can be prescribed from a dermatologist or you can buy lower strengths from stores like Wal-Mart. Ambi sells one. I use one by a dept store line called Fashion Fair.The item by Fashion Fair is called, Vantex and is specifically made for Black skin. See link below. To start if the spots aren't bad, I would use something from a drugstore or store like Wal-Mart.What kind of cream can a woman of color use for dark spots on the skin, particularly the neck and underarm?
My dr. prescribed a product, but I found the Fashion Fair item is something that I like the smell of and stays in the routine of what I place on my face. Sometimes our hormones cause the dark underarms and it's hard 2 change them, I have them too, so you aren't alone. I am a lighter skin complexion. Report Abuse
What kind of cream can a woman of color use for dark spots on the skin, particularly the neck and underarm?
When talking about cosmetics and beauty treatment, one tends to focus on the face, hair, hands and feet. We tend to believe that if these parts are well-groomed, miscellaneous body parts like the neck, shoulders, arms and elbows can be swept under the carpet like so much dust. But like so many other things in life, it's the little things that count. What's the point of having a perfectly made-up face if the skin on your neck is loose and mottled? Hairy arms, black elbows and drooping posture can ruin the effect of the sexiest little halter. So let's take a look at how to take care of your neck, shoulders, arms and elbows so that they don't let you down.





Your Neck





The first thing to do is to stop thinking that your face stops at your chin. Think of your neck as an extension of your face. Whenever you wash your face, wash your neck too. If you use a foundation or a loose powder on your face, remember to apply it to your neck or there will be an unsightly colour difference between your face and your neck. Use upward strokes to apply a nourishing cream on your neck and throat every night.








There are some home remedies to whiten and soften the skin on your neck. You can make a skin tonic by mixing 3 teaspoons of borax powder, 2 tablespoons of glycerine and 2 cups of rose water. You can also apply this tonic on your arms and shoulders. We also have a recipe for an overnight cream for the neck, throat and shoulders. Mix equal parts of lanolin and butter. Beat them thoroughly in a double saucepan over boiling water. Rub this cream over your neck and shoulders in upward motions. Leave it on overnight and wash it in the morning.





DARK UNDERARMS





Take 1 tspn of Cucumber juice, 1 tspn of Limejuice and a pinch of Turmeric powder. Apply and leave for 20 minutes before washing.





Apply a paste of 1 tspn of Gram flour, a pinch of Turmeric powder and 1 tspn of Sandalwood powder, some limejuice and milk. Wash after 20 minutes.
