Don’t Forget to Exfoliate

One issue that can result from not exfoliating your underarms is razor bumps. Exfoliating can help to eliminate that problem. Many of us are good about exfoliating our body but it’s easy to forget the underarm area. You can exfoliate by using a product made specifically for exfoliating such as a body scrub or exfoliating wash. You can also exfoliate by using a loofah and applying light pressure.

2

Get a Closer Shave

One way that your underarms could look unattractive is if they aren’t receiving a close shave. It’s a difficult area to shave with the angles it presents. Changing your razor often can help you to have the closest shave. A shaving aid can help, too. Shaving gels work better for me than shaving creams but you may have a different opinion on that. Use whatever works best for you.

3

Banish Ingrown Hairs

Ingrown hairs are unsightly, aggravating and just plain painful. But they don’t have to be an issue for you. There’re things you can do to banish ingrown hairs for good. Shaving in one direction helps prevent ingrown hairs as well as using shaving cream or shaving gel. If you’re already dealing with ingrown hairs then try using an acne product or Tend Skin Skincare Solution to heal them.

4

Use a Skin Soothing Deodorant

If your underarms get patches of dry skin then it could be your deodorant. Try using a deodorant that’s good for your skin as well as keeping odor at bay. Dove is a good choice if you have dry skin issues. Of course you need to use what works best for you. Secret deodorant is the one I turn to time and time again for a smooth finish that also prevents odor.

5

Deal with Dark Underarms

Many women see areas of darkness in their underarms. There’re many things that can cause darkness there such as hormone fluctuations, the chemicals in products you’re using, skin conditions and other things. Whatever the cause, there’re some things you can do to lighten up the area. As silly as you may feel, holding a slice of lemon in each underarm for a few minutes can help. You can also make a paste out of baking soda and water to apply to the area.

Exercise

This one may sound surprising but it truly can make a difference. The skin in the areas around your underarms may be flabby. Exercise can help to tone those areas up. Choose an exercise that puts emphasis on strength training for your arms and upper body. You’ll be excited when you start to see results!

7

Watch for Irritation

Observing your underarms on a regular basis can help them to look more presentable. They may look unattractive simply because you have skin irritation. Finding the cause of the irritation can clear this issue up almost immediately. It’s likely that a product you’re using is causing it. Try using a different soap, shaving gel and deodorant until you narrow down the trigger.

These’re 7 ways you can make your underarms look more presentable. What’s your biggest underarm issue? You’re welcome to share your concerns.

Nice articl e

A lot of deodorants have a slew of chemicals that cause these problems. Using natural deodorant with less chemicals usually clears most problems up!

I'm not sure what you mean by "perfect", but secret has a good one and NIVIA.

Inappropriate this pic. Yuck!

Ohh an armpit! How inappropriate of this website! Lol note that is sarcasm. I love my la vanilla deodorants :)

My biggest issue was irritation from shaving. I decided to get laser hair removal and it is amazing! I have 2 sessions left and only end up shaving like twice a month. I can count the pieces of hair it's so little.

I cannot find a perfect roll-on! 😞
