Underarm perfect: How to achieve beautiful underarms the right way

Raise your hands if you have searched high and low to have beautiful underarms—if you are still reluctant, you must have tried yet failed.

The tips you inherited from your titas or BFFs about shaving, using home remedies, and other tricks may do wonders. But, if you are doing it all wrong, all that underarm care can lead to dark skin and other problems. Here are some things you should keep in mind to have armpits you’d be proud to show:

Calamansi and lemon do not whiten the area
This is the usual advice people get when they want fairer underarms: apply calamansi or lemon on them.  While this sour fruit contains whitening properties, its high acid level may cause for some negative skin reactions like skin irritations and stinging pain. Leaving it for longer than 10 minutes may burn and dry the skin.

Razors shave away your underarms' flawlessness
Shaving is the most convenient way to get rid of unwanted hair. Using razor on your armpits, however, has downsides.  The hair grows back darker and thicker.  It also causes those annoying and itchy ingrown hair. Shave only when absolutely necessary. The best recourse is to get a wax or save for laser hair removal. 

Underarms need scrubbing
Your underarms have dead skin cells.  Like your face and your body, they need to be exfoliated to scrub off the old skin. Rubbing too hard may cause the skin to darken or get inflamed. Use a gentle exfoliant or a soft cloth twice a week for scrubbing. Remember, too much of anything is bad for you. 

Fake news: All deos are created equal
Some deodorants are just way too strong for the skin leaving it dark and dry.  Go for a gentler alternative like a moisturizing deodorant.  Dove got you covered. For stubborn dark spots, there’s the New Dove Ultimate White with Vitamin B3 and Dove’s Signature ¼ moisturizing cream.  It repairs and lightens skin from within. For drawbacks caused by your hair removal options, go for Dove Original Light & Smooth.  It puts back what shaving, plucking, and waxing take away.

Now, you don’t have to sweat it to have beautiful underarms. Learn the takeaways and in no time, you can put your hands up in the air with confidence.  With Dove, you can get those picture perfect underarms you have been longing for.
