Here’s How You Can Care For Your Sensitive, Underarm Skin
Written by Urvi DalalMar 07, 2019
All of us are constantly on the quest for gorgeous, irritation-free underarms. And why not? After all clean and even toned underarms allow us the freedom to wear whatever we want! But alas, shaving rashes, dry skin and sweat; all work to kill the buzz when it comes to underarm health. And if you are someone who is blessed with sensitive skin, then your underarms need that much more care.
To help you deal with all your underarm woes and to help you keep them healthy, we have curated a list of some easy tips and tricks...
Just like the rest of your body, do not exclude your underarms when it comes to moisturisation. If you don't moisturise your underarms, you may experience dryness, flakiness, irritation and skin darkening caused by shaving, plucking and the use of non-moisturising antiperspirants and deodorants.
Use a sensitive skin roll-on
Always check your deodorant if you continuously experience redness, bumpiness and irritation. Antiperspirants do just as the name implies: They block your sweat. The ingredients in the antiperspirants may be irritating your skin. The Rexona Aloe Vera Underarm Odour Protection Roll On is ideal for sensitive underarms and also prevents body odour like a pro.
Take a break from shaving
Giving your underarms a break from shaving at regular intervals is a great way to ensure healthy skin. When you shave regularly, you are more prone to in-growth and redness that aggravates skin problems.
Exfoliate from time to time
Using a gentle exfoliant in your underarm area is a great way to ensure that your skin there is clear of any dirt, sweat and oil. But since the underarm skin is sensitive, it is important to use a very gentle exfoliator as you do not want to further irritate and damage the skin.
