Method 2 of 3: Visiting a Dermatologist
Step 1. Consult the use of skin lightening creams containing hydroquinone with a doctor
This cream works by inhibiting the production of melanin in the skin and is one of the most popular skin lightening treatments. However, if the concentration is too high or if used for too long, the use of hydroquinone cream can actually exacerbate the discoloration of the skin or eliminate its benefits. These creams can also be toxic to the liver.

If the darkening of the skin is caused by waxing or shaving, a laser hair removal treatment may be for you. Although this treatment is considered a semi-permanent effect, hairs on the skin usually do not grow back. You just have to make sure to go through the recommended number of treatments as well as have follow-up treatments.
Method 3 of 3: Prevent Darkening of the Skin in the Bikini Area
Step 1. Exfoliate the skin
Dead skin cells not only accumulate on the knees and elbows, but also other parts of the body. In fact, the accumulation of dead skin cells can make the skin look darker and duller. So, before shaving, do a light exfoliating treatment on that area with a loofah, scrub, or exfoliating brush. This treatment will lift dry skin while preventing irritation and hair growth in the skin of the bikini area.
Step 2. Use sunscreen
Use sunscreen while spending time in the sun so that your skin doesn't darken from it. Choose a sunscreen with a high SPF (Sun Protection Factor) such as SPF 45 for the bikini area. In addition, while in the sun, also apply olive oil which is known to be efficacious as a natural skin lightener to the bikini area.
Step 3. Wear loose, comfortable cotton clothing
Sweat on the skin area is also a cause of darkening of the skin. So, avoid clothes made of polyester or other synthetic fabrics that make it difficult for your skin to breathe. In addition, tight clothing sometimes also leaves marks and can also darken the skin in the area.
Step 4. Use a quality razor and gently shave the hair in the direction of its growth
Basically, dark patches on the skin are caused by prolonged friction. If you shave every day, your skin will try to protect itself until it eventually darkens. Any injury to the skin will result in blemishes or keloids.
Waxing can also cause darkening of the skin color if the temperature is too hot
Step 5. Increase fruit and vegetable intake
Fruits, such as oranges and berries, as well as green leafy vegetables contain lots of antioxidants that can help reduce skin discoloration. Drinking water can also help remove toxins from the body.
Step 6. Drink more water
This method is one of the best options for removing toxins from the body. There is no rule for the amount of water intake that applies to everyone. But generally, men and women should drink about 3.8 liters of water every day.
