Self-care is a term bandied about often. Wellness experts remind us to look after our mental health, our skin, our feet, our hands, our psyche, our hair. Alas, there are no reminders to give our underarms the pamper they need.
Playgirl deodorants Zaweer Ebrahim lists five things to remember to get your underarms in tip top condition:
The Basics
Due to the shape of the underarm and the way that the skin folds in this region, extra care should be taken to properly cleanse the underarm. It’s also important to dry the area properly to ensure that no moisture remains.
Regular Exfoliation
Just like the rest of your skin, the underarm area benefits from regular exfoliation. Regular dead skin removal assists with unclogging pores and reduces oil build up. If you use a scrub or exfoliating product, be sure to rinse the area carefully before cleansing and drying.
Gentle Hair Removal
If you choose to remove the hair under your arms, do so gently. As a starting point, make sure that you’ve cleansed the area using warm water, and the skin is warm, wet, and lathered. If you’re prone to ingrown hairs, cover the area in moisturiser the night before to ensure a smooth shave.
Hydration From Time to Time
Once again, just like the rest of your skin, this area of the body also requires moisturisation! Use a light moisturiser on your underarms in the evening so that the hydration has time to sink in. In the morning, a quick cleanse will remove any residue, use your favourite Playgirl perfumed roll on and body spray to keep you smelling and feeling great.
Choose Products That Care for Your Skin
Choosing a product for your underarm is often based only on smell, but there are other factors that should be considered. Find a product that does not dry or irritate your skin, how the product feels and how it makes your skin feel.
Taking proper care of your underarms is an easy addition to your beauty routine, “many of these daily habits we’re already doing for the rest of the skin on our bodies - it’s just time we did the same for our underarms to make sure they stay healthy, and smell and look great.”
