Armpits are one of those body parts that you don’t often talk about. They’re not much of a conversation starter at the dinner table and let’s face it, I find them kind of strange. Some are smooth. Some are hairy. Some look like they came out of the Planet of the Apes movie. To each his own right? Regardless, we all take care of our underarms in one way or another. I find myself shaving every other day because I can’t stand the pricklies. But this leaves my underarms feeling very sensitive and irritated. There has to be something I can do to repair the damage.
This year join Dove® Deodorant in changing the way we care for our armpits. Shaving is a harsh but necessary part of our beauty routine and sometimes it gets a bit tedious. To fix the damage done by a razor and restore beauty, simply use Dove® Nutrium Mositure Deodorant after shaving to heal and protect sensitive skin. Did you know that everytime you shave your underarms you lose up to 38% of the in that area skin? It’s a good thing Dove is stepping in to care for the sensitivity of your armpit!
Are you doing your part to keep your pits out of the “pits?” I have put together 5 tips to help get your underarms silky smooth. Before you use your Dove deodorant you want to make sure you have a clean and smooth canvas to work with.
1. Use a clean fresh razor to shave and toss out any dull rusty ones you may have lying about in your shower. You should change your blade every few weeks or until the moisture strip begins to fade. Blunt razors cause bumps, redness, and rashes.
2. To keep underarms soft you can use an exfoliating scrub to gently remove dead skin cells and residue from deodorant. This will also prevent ingrown hairs and allow for a closer shave.
3. Lather your underarms with a moisturizing gel or cream before each shave. Regular soap and water may irritate the skin even before you begin.
4. When all else fails, WAX! If you are known to have super sensitive pits or get tired of shaving multiple times a week, waxing is the perfect option for you. It will remove hair evenly and keep your underarms softer longer.
5. Pamper your pits with Dove® Advanced Care with Nutrium Moisture Deodorant. It is designed to deliver 48 hour wetness protection and provide ultimate care after every shave.

I haven't tried the Dove for my under arms, but I do use a lot of other Dove products and swear by them. Need to get me some of this.
I always use Dove deodorant. My under arms are very sensitive and this is one of the few deodorants that doesn't give me a rash!
I never knew that about shaving & I just bought some Dove yesterday.. Was using my husband's deod. and he said he would rather me smell like a girl 😉
I only use Dove soap, but have yet to try their deodorant. I'll have to pick some up.
Great tips…Dove makes excellent products!
Great tips, I love smooth underarms! My have been using Dove products for years. They work great for sensitive skin, and don't irritate our skin.
I'll have to try this! I still use the same kind I have since I was a teenager, lol
I love these tips! That is just one area that I don't generally pay much attention to, but when you do pay attention to it – you realize it's a not all that pretty and neglected!!!
Thanks for the coupon. These are great tips, especially with warmer weather on the way. I tend to only wear tank tops during the spring and summer months. Thank!
I enjoy Dove products. I love saving money, so thanks for the coupon.
These are all great tips! We have been using Dove off and on for years!
GREAT tips! Dove is my absolute favorite.
thanks for the coupon, need to get some deodorant this week. I can't imagine waxing my pits tho!
I use Dove Deodorant. I like the scent and it works great.
I love using Dove. I have it now!
I use Dove deo too. It's my favorite! I agree waxing…uh no thanks. 🙂
I've never waxed my underarms, I think it would hurt way too much (and this is from a gal who waxes other "places). I've been using Dove lately and find it does a really good job for me!
I love Dove products, thanks for the coupon.
I never thought to exfoliate under my arms. Thanks for the tip! I love Dove!
I love the delicate way dove treats the armpits. It's good to know that it works to protect us there too.
I just picked this up last week, saw it on the shelf, and LOVED it!
I love Dove deodorant! I use the cucumber scent and love it – it's so fresh!
I always shave dry. Yes, believe it or not. When my underarm skin is wet at all it gets bumpy and I cut myself. Ouch!
I do not shave. I have no need so I haven't in 25 years. Yet, I did find this article interesting.
I like this Deodorant and have been Using Dove products for years. The soap and the shampoo are such wonderful products. Thanks for the tips on shaving. It really helps.
