im tring to whiten my underarms Should i use baby powder instead of deodorant to keep it from darkening my underarms?
Well, you could, but you really risk smelling like a sweaty baby.


I'm not sure why it's so important to have lily-white pits. Personally, I'd rather smell less like a lumberjack and take my chances with darker pits.


Seriously, the aluminum in a lot of deodorants can cause darkening of skin in some folks. Maybe switch brands to one without the aluminum compound?
