New Moms, Armpit Fat and Dark Underarms
Armpit fat is an unavoidable occurrence
because carrying a baby can let you add more body adipose tissue which can
sometimes rest on your armpits. This can create constant friction in the armpit
area which can eventually result to darkened underarms. Hormonal changes can
also have a hand to play in this which only aggravates the problem.
If you want to get rid of your flabby
armpit then you may start changing your diet. Although it is important to remain in a
healthy diet because you will need this in weaning and in being able to care
for your baby. Talk to your primary care physician, gynecologist or a dietician
to work out a healthy diet plan which gives you the nutrients that you need
while at the same time help you to shed some pounds.
It would be advisable for you to avoid foods
that are high in fats and carbohydrates such as pizzas, burgers and French
fries. Opt for healthier options such as fruits and vegetables, they help you
keep the weight off and these also energize you better.
You should also be very careful with your
use of salt because this can cause you to retain water which would only worsen
your problem.
Eating right should also be coupled with
proper exercise if you want to get rid of your armpit fat. Sometimes exhaustion
can get the best of you which can lead you to forgo exercises, but try to start
with simple passive range of motion exercises to prepare your body for
activity.
In order to localize the effect of your
exercise to target the problem area, it would be best for you to perform arm
exercises. Easy ones that you can start with include arm rotation and arm
lifting. Doing this repeatedly for a period of time can prevent the accumulation
of fats in the armpit area.
As the months progress, allow yourself to
increase your level of exercise, or if you are already an exercise
enthusiast, an elliptical machine is suggested by experts. Doing this for at
least two to three times a week can already create significant change. Give
yourself some rest days in between to avoid stressing out your recuperating
body.
Another excellent way to burn armpit fat is
to go swimming. In fact this is one of the preferred exercises by new moms to
burn the pregnancy weight. The arm movements can certainly reduce stored fat
while improving your stamina and heart health at the same time.
Your clothes can also aggravate your dark underarm problems. Instead of polyester or synthetic clothing, cotton
would be much preferable. This is less irritating to the skin which also
reduces friction.
Sometimes underarm darkening can resolve on
its own, while others remain. For those stubborn armpit stains you can use
simple solutions such as rubbing a slice of lemon or a baking soda and vinegar
paste on your underarms. Doing this regularly can eventually lighten this area
after a period of time.
But if the problem remains to be
unrelenting to natural measures, you can get underarm whitening solutions in
salons. Usually this would take several sessions but results are definitely
dramatic and worth it. Not only will you get whiter underarms but smooth and
clean looking ones as well.

The Pros and Cons of IPL Hair Removal
Facial and body hair is not only
inconvenient but it can also be humiliating for some. To manage this problem,
there are already a number of methods to do this, and this includes waxing,
plucking, shaving, threading and electrolysis. But one of the methods to also
remove unwanted hairs effectively is IPL (Intense Pulse Light).
WHAT IS IPL?
The laser used produces certain light beams
which eventually create long term damage to the hair follicles. Using a hand
piece device, filtered light is delivered into the skin which specifically
targets dark or pigmented material in its way, e.g. hair. The thermal damage to
the cells and connective tissues of the hair prevents any hair growth to
reoccur in the future, while sparing nearby skin and tissues.
BENEFITS OF IPL HAIR REMOVAL
This is one of the latest technologies in
hair removal, and it makes the work much faster and less painful. This is
considered to be the most preferred hair reduction or removal option.
Back in the day IPL is only recommended for
individuals with light skin and dark hair. But with the advancements in
technology today it can manage hair problems for people of any complexion and
hair color, with white hairs being the only exception.
Another reason why it is considered to be a
versatile technique is because it can be used on both male and females.
IPL is also earning nods because it is less
painful compared to other hair removal methods. Today’s equipment provides
better comfort to the patient because it is adjusted with a self-cooling head.
Instead of the sensation of having hot elastic bands being repeatedly snapped
on your skin, you can now only feel a warm tingling sensation.
This procedure is also much preferred in
the market because of the much lower cost of the entire process. It is much
cheaper compared to standard hair removal techniques while it also covers a
large amount of skin area within a short period of time. It can finish large
areas such as the back, arms and the legs at a much faster rate.
If used on the face, IPL will allow you to
apply some makeup right after the procedure. It also gives you the freedom to
immediately enjoy the outdoors while using sunscreen of course.
IPL is also known widely for creating long
term results that are thoroughly impressive.
DISADVANTAGES OF IPL HAIR REMOVAL
One of the drawbacks of this procedure is
that it requires a couple of sessions for the best results.
If a salon uses the older type of machines,
a certain degree of pain and discomfort may be felt. Also this type of machines
will only be limited to light color skinned individuals.
Some also contend that although many say
that the hair removal results lasts long, this technology has not been around
long enough to guarantee whether the outcome will last for years.
Also with it being new in the market, not
much are experienced enough to offer IPL hair removal services. So you have to
make sure that you get yours done at a certified salon or aesthetist.
