Do you feel embarrassed about having dark underarms? It’s perfectly normal, and it’s not your fault. Pigmentation in the armpits can be caused by a number of reasons: shaving or plucking, excessive friction, buildup of dead skin, and more. Whatever the reason, dark underarms can stop you from feeling your best during swimsuit season…and that’s not ideal. Even though we’re all quarantined right now, we deserve to feel good in our skin (even if we’re just walking around in a tank top in our own home!). That’s why we’ve formulated the Belo Illuminating System: an easy two-step routine to lighten dark areas of the body, like your underarms, in no time!

Our perfect duo for at-home brightening skincare, the Belo Illuminating System is expertly curated to improve dark spots, uneven skin tones, and dull-looking skin all over the body. The best part? You can get it for only P3,900 at The Belo Shop! 

The Illuminating System contains one bar of Belo Illuminating Soap (135g). It’s a perfect blend of two powerful active skincare ingredients: Snail Mucin and Salicylic Acid. Snail mucin is an organic product that repairs skin damaged by free radicals. It hydrates and soothes the skin while reducing redness and inflammation. This works harmoniously with salicylic acid, which gently exfoliates the skin, revealing a smooth and healthy glow.

Secondly, the system contains one 250-gram jar of Belo Illuminating Cream. Containing powerful brightening agents like Alpha Arbutin and Liquorice, this product decreases the formation of melanin, which is responsible for skin darkening, in the body. Decreased melanin production equals brighter skin! Dr. Vicki Belo has been a fan of the Illuminating Cream since the beginning, and she makes it a regular part of her at-home beauty routine. 

Here’s how to do the routine.

1. Lather up with the Illuminating Soap.

Step into the shower (spa music totally optional, but highly encouraged). After you’ve wet your body, lather on the Illuminating Soap, applying an extra amount in areas where you want an even skin tone. Use gentle circular motions. Leave on for 2 minutes, then rinse off thoroughly. Continue with the rest of your regular bath routine.

2. Brighten up with the Illuminating Cream.

While skin is still damp post-shower, take a generous amount of the Belo Illuminating Cream and apply it to darkened areas like your armpits, inner thighs, and groin. 

And that’s it! You can do this routine up to two times a day daily. This combination treatment may cause drying of skin for some people. To prevent this, we recommend the use of a base oil to keep skin soft and smooth. You should see results in a few weeks, and they’ll get better if you keep up the routine for longer. 

Now, brightened skin is within your reach. No more hiding underneath oversized hoodies. Wear the tank tops and sleeveless shirts you deserve to wear! To jumpstart your journey to perfect pits, click here to buy the Belo Illuminating System.
