Feeling insecure about your underarms? Here’s some tips for smooth underarm skin

Are you familiar with the phrase “summer bodies are made in winter”?

Well, the same applies to your underarms.

Caring for your underarms during winter will be all worth it when it’s time to show off some skin, allowing you to wear your fun and flirty summer tops and dresses!

Some of us remove underarm hair by waxing or shaving, however this can cause irritation such as dryness and itching. This can weaken the skin barrier and leave you with an uneven skin tone.

That is why using the correct care methods and products is important. Choose a deodorant that not only tackles sweat and odour, but also cares to leave your skin smooth and supple.

Here are some tips you can incorporate into your post-shaving routine:

Curb the dryness

Hair removal can irritate the underarm skin and lead to loss of moisture, causing painful ingrown hairs.

Avoid using bath soap or shower gel as a hair removing lubricant. Rather use a moisturising shaving cream so you can ensure you have smooth, supple, and moisturised underarm skin.

You should also steer clear of using hot water when shaving because that depletes moisture from the skin.

Rather use lukewarm water – it’s a lot kinder.

Alternatively, you can remove your underarm hair by waxing.

It doesn’t end in the shower

The key ingredient to achieving smooth, soft underarms is using the right deodorant.

Go for a moisturising deodorant that supports skin recovery like the Dove Original Anti-Perspirant Deodorant.

This deodorant is formulated with a unique ¼ moisturising cream and a subtle scent that will leave you feeling confident enough to be present in every life moment without any insecurity about your underarms.

The Dove Original Anti-Perspirant is free of alcohol, so there are no worries about that sharp, stinging sensation that comes after using an alcohol-based deodorant.
