Hi Anon

When you say "dark underarms" are you talking about the skin or the stubble you can see after shaving?

If it's stubble, there isn't much you can do aside from permanently removing the hair by the root (electrolysis) which is time-consuming, expensive and a bit painful. But this is the only way to permanently remove stubble.

Other than that, using an epilator or shaving (using a rich conditioner) on a regular basis can remove stubble for a day but it will never look completely hair free.Such is the nature of hair.

Best,

Susan
