Glycolic Acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) made from sugar cane. It has significant benefits and is often found in face quality skincare. Due to its texture, it can penetrate the skin and exfoliate deeply.
It's safe to use Glycolic Acid in small doses, but using higher concentrations can be dangerous to your skin longterm. People with dry or sensitive skin often have a harder time using Glycolic Acid. It's more common to benefit people with oily, normal or combination skin.
To get the best out of Glycolic Acid in your routine:
Since Glycolic Acid has such a light weight molecule it's becoming a more common ingredient in deodorants.
The benefits:
Hyperpigmentation has become a mainstream topic and those looking to lighten their underarms has become even more popular. Using Glycolic Acid is just one of many ways to lighten your underarms and reverse the discolouration.
Other products to consider for lightening your underarms:
Yes. Just like any irritation to the skin there is a chance you can get a scar. Ingrown hairs often lead to redness and irritation, which can lead to what are often referred to as 'dark spots'.
Depending on your hair growth you can get ingrown hairs in many locations. Some of the most common in men are on the neckline and women commonly get ingrown hairs on their bikini line.
Most common places for ingrown hairs:
Yes. Using laser treatment on scaring is very common. However, we recommend seeing your doctor or trying more natural treatments and products prior to going with laser treatment. We recommend reading the article by the AAD on questions you should ask before using laser.
To clear up dark spots and ingrown hair scars on your pubic region we recommend a two types of products.

If you have curly, coiled hair you are more receptive to ingrown hairs, which typically lead to this type of hyperpigmentation.
There are several ways to prevent scarring from ingrown hairs, which are non-intrusive.
One way to prevent ingrown hairs is to reduce the amount of hairs that need to grow back. Laser hair removal, although a more costly option, does have this effect on the skin and hair.
By exfoliating regularly you'll soften the skin and hair follicles helping the curly or coiled hair grow back through the skin appropriately. Use a physical exfoliant to soften scar tissues, reduce razor bumps and prevent ingrown hairs.
Using a moisturizing shaving cream, as well as pubic hair oil will help soften the skin and hair. You always want to soften the skin on your pubic region to prevent ingrown hairs.
Those who get the most ingrown hairs are more likely to get scarring from them. However, if you have a skin tone that is more prone to dark spots or scarring you're also at a disadvantage. By focusing on preventing ingrown hairs entirely you'll reduce the chance of getting hyperpigmentation, which is what we recommend.

It's not uncommon for chaffing or hair removal to cause your skin to get a darker hue than your skin. This is often referred to as hyperpigmentation, which is excess production of melanin. Consult a medical professional for deeper insight into your specific example, but if you expect this to be caused by repeat hair removal or irritation there are steps you can take.
We have a detailed blog on the connections between dark spots and shaving.
Having a trimmer on deck will ensure that the interaction between the razor and skin is as seamless as possible. Irritation can often be caused by friction due to hair removal. If you shave your underarms regularly you can prevent this by trimming before you shave next time, as well as using a moisturizing shaving cream.
If you are looking for a trimmer for your underarms we recommend finding one that is waterproof, wireless and comes with trimming guards.
A Dark Spot Exfoliating Scrub will treat your dark spots and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation. A sugar based scrub contains nourishing ingredients, such as lemon essential oil, that will lighten dark spots and brighten the skin. In addition, you should look for an antioxidant rich blend of Jojoba and Grapeseed oil to moisturize and rejuvenate your skin. The goal with a dark spot scrub is to remove dead skin cells and reveal healthy skin, all while breaking up the melanin pigments to reveal even skin tones and remove dark spots.

Another common cause of darkness in in your underarms is not using a soothing oil or Dark Spot Oil. To help soften the appearance of dark underarms we recommend using a Dark Spot Oil that contains the combination of fractionated coconut carrier oil, lemon essential oil, and rare copaiba oil. This type of formula will reduce hyperpigmentation, dark spots and more.
Chemical irritation can be a common cause of underarm darkening. Many deodorants contain aluminum, which can clog pores and cause further inflammation. This daily, weekly, monthly cycle is a repeating factor for darkening underarms.
If you are seeing darkness from your antiperspirant or your deodorant you can look to switch to a more natural product. It's common for your body to go through a purging cycle after using a new product with different ingredients. This is natural, but can be quite the trouble for you as a customer. Stay patient! It won't last forever.
"Many deodorants contain aluminum, which can clog pores and cause further inflammation"
Darker skin tones are more likely to experience darker underarms. Hyperpigmentation in general is is more common for people of color. The presence of increased melanin in the skin leads to this increased risk of hyperpigmentation.
It's quite common to see dark spots in a variety of areas on the body, not just the underarms. For instance, you can see these popup from the scar of an ingrown hair or a pimple. This is why it's required to use gentle products to treat these spots, as they generally occur in sensitive areas.

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is caused by abrasions to the skin's surface such as acne, eczema, ingrown hairs, scrapes or cuts, and the list goes on. Shaving can be quite abrasive on the skin. After all, you are gliding sharp blades up and down your body. As noted by Dr. Ruth Arumala (a board certified gynaecologist):
When one shaves, the hair follicle is irritated and will balloon out to protect the skin. This reaction creates pimple-like bumps which later lead to acne scars, dark spots and discolouration.
The inflammation that results from an injury triggers melanocyte skin cells to the area of injury. The excessive concentration of melanocyte will leave a darker and discoloured patch around the area where the wound once was.
There are a number of (easily avoidable) factors that contribute to making the interaction between skin and blade more irritating.
When we shave, the first blade of the razor will lift up the hair strand so the next blade can slice it off. Without a moisturizing agent to help lift the hair strand, the razor is forced to tug on the skin. This tugging causes excessive irritation which can lead to razor bumps. In response, melanocytes will rush to the area to protect the skin and leave dark spots behind. Thus, it’s important to use some sort of moisturizing agent when you shave - whether that is conditioner or the shave cream of your choice.

Razor bumps are another term for ingrown hairs. Ingrown hairs are strands of hair that grow back into the skin. Ingrown hairs tend to really irritate the skin and in severe cases can become infected. To heal the skin from the wound, the body sends melanin to the area as a protection. Melanin is the brown pigment that creates the appearance of dark spots. Once the ingrown hair finally disappears, it will leave a darkened scar in its place.
Click here to learn more about ingrown hairs, including causes, treatment and prevention techniques.
When your razor is dull, it takes more strokes to remove your unwanted hair. The 3-4 extra strokes irritate the skin substantially by causing micro-abrasions (little wounds) on the surface. These abrasions leave the skin vulnerable to infection, irritation, and razor bumps. As previously mentioned, the body responds to this by sending brown pigmented melanocytes to protect the wounded area.

Having a trimmer on deck will ensure that the interaction between the razor and skin is as seamless as possible. Trimming before shaving is crucial for 3 reasons: 1) it minimizes tugging; 2) it prevents razor bumps; and 3) it prevents ingrown hairs. By avoiding tugging and razor bumps, the skin will remain wound-free and the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation will decrease significantly.
Click here to learn about how to use the Francesca Trimmer™.
The Francesca trimmer™ will cut the hair down to the optimal length so that your razor does not tug on the skin. When the skin is pulled and tugged too much, the risk of getting nicks and cuts increases. Nics and cuts can be super painful and can get infected.
Trimming before shaving will prevent razor bumps by minimizing blade clog. If you go straight to work without a trim, you’ll notice your blade clogging more often. When hairs clogs the razor, the blade becomes less sharp. This translates to more strokes needed to sufficiently remove the hair. The extra strokes will irritate the skin and cause micro-abrasions on the surface. Trimming the hair down before shaving will minimize blade clog and in turn prevent razor bumps.
*Note: trim against the direction of grain - this will not irritate the skin because the blade does not touch the surface. What this will do is force all the hair to stand in the same direction. Recap: Shave with the grain - Trim against the grain.
Sometimes the body hair grows in different directions. This poses an issue when it comes time to shave - some hair strands could be cut at a weird angle and fall beneath the skin’s surface. When it is time for the hair to grow, the sharp tip and awkward position of the cut will cause the hair strand to curl back into the skin and remain trapped beneath the skin’s surface. This could lead to angry ingrown hairs and razor bumps - not fun. Ingrown hairs can become infected and seriously irritate the skin. This could lead to scarring and eventually a dark spot as melanin pigments rush to protect the area.
The Francesca Trimmer™ is designed to comb all the hair in the same direction and cut it down to the same size. This will prevent ingrown hairs and razor bumps caused by being shaved at a weird angle.
Throughout the day, dirt and oil will accumulate on the surface of our skin. If you remove hair without properly cleaning the area beforehand, you run the risk of infecting the freshly opened hair follicles. Oils and dirt can seep into your skin causing a red and angry rash to appear in its place. This increases the risk of infection and swelling which could lead to scarring and dark spots.
Old razors pose two risks for the skin: 1) they are dull; and 2) they contain bacteria. As previously mentioned, dull razors increases the number of micro-abrasions leaving the skin vulnerable to infection. Old blades also carry bacteria. The bacteria on the blade will seep right into the freshly opened hair follicles. This bacteria can lead to infected ingrown hairs.
That is why it is necessary to have a new, clean, and sharp razor on deck. We recommend using a razor 10 times before changing it out.
Shaving with the grain (that is, the same direction as hair growth) will minimize the risk of ingrown hairs. When we shave, the first blade of the razor will lift up the hair strand so the next blade can slice it off. If we shave against the grain, the first blade could pick up the hair strand too much. The second blade could then cut the hair below the skin line and give the hair strand a sharp edge. When it is time for the hair to grow, the sharp tip and awkward position of the cut will cause the hair strand to curl back into the skin and remain trapped beneath the skin’s surface. As previously mentioned, ingrown hairs can become infected and later lead to scarring and a hyperpigmentation. Shaving with the grain will minimizes the risk of ingrown hairs and by the same token prevent dark spots.

The Bermuda Oil is preventative, as well as a treatment. That’s why it’s best to use the oil on a daily basis!

While coconut oil can do wonders for the skin, it can also clog your pores. This is one of the reasons why it can make your skin feel so smooth, as it does not fully absorb and rather just sticks on the surface it is applied to. While fractionated coconut oil is not 100% non-comedogenic, it is easily absorbed and less likely to clog pores or cause breakouts in comparison to virgin coconut oil.
Fractionated coconut oil is formed when virgin coconut oil is distilled which allows long-chain fatty acids to separate and solidify for removal. At the end of this process, an ultralight, odorless coconut oil is created and stays in a liquid form.
The 3 main differences to highlight when it comes to using fractionated coconut oil in comparison to virgin coconut oil in skincare are:
1) Fractionated coconut oil is less likely to clog pores or cause breakouts. Which makes it totally safe to use our Bermuda Oil anywhere on the body.
2) Fractionated coconut oil is more easily absorbed by the skin. Both types of coconut oil can be very nourishing and moisturizing.
3) Virgin coconut oil is solid at lower room temperatures, making it too heavy to use as a facial oil.
When it comes to trying any new skincare products, you should always do a small patch test whether it is a natural product or not. Give your skin the chance to see if it likes the product. If you have no irritations after testing, find a way to incorporate the product into your skincare routine.
Six natural ingredients work together to break up the melanin pigments that cause dark spots, uneven skin tones, and hyperpigmentation. The combination of fractionated coconut carrier oil, lemon essential oil, and rare copaiba oil work to even and diffuse the appearance of dark spots and blemishes. Like every skincare product, these results won't happen overnight, but incorporating the Bermuda brightening product into your routine will help address those darker areas you've been wanting to get rid of, regardless of your skin tone! Most users begin seeing results within a 1-3 timeframe. We always recommend documenting your progress so you can visibly see your results.
