Ok so take a deep breath and think about it. What’s the most neglected part of your body? The armpit. The Fairy Glammother is guilty as charged. Hear me out.
My mother encouraged me to start wearing deodorant around the age of 9. Over the years (21 years), my armpits have become a disaster. Irritation, redness, blackheads and soreness paired with the fact that I have hidradentinitis (look that one up), made my armpits a nightmare. I chose not to wear a lot of sleeveless items because for one, my arms are fat and two, lifting up my arms could be embarrassing. Then comes Dove with the PitiCure, and new Advanced Care deodorant.
So what is the PitiCure?
Well, a recent published study shows that 36% of what you remove when shaving is actually skin, 64% is hair. When you shave your armpits, your skin loses 50% more moisture, which can lead to my problems dryness and sensitivity. So take a breath and let’s PitiCure, which claims to leave you with softer, smoother armpits and leave your skin moisturized.
1. Exfoliate– Use a gentle exfoliating scrub or exfoliating wipes to cleanse and draw out impurities. I personally use the Dove Gentle Exfoliating Bar, it exfoliates, cleanses, and leaves my skin smelling so good. Exfoliating is also helpful before shaving to prevent ingrown hairs.
2. Rinse– Rinse clean with some warm water and pat dry with a soft towel
3. Care– Apply Dove Advanced Care Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant with NutriumMoisture. This provides softer, smoother underarm skin in just three days, offers 48 hour odor and wetness protection, and cares for underarm skin. Dove Advanced Care comes in three formulas:
Nourished Beauty
Cool Essentials– Everything Nourished Beauty has to offer in the fresh scent of cucumber.
Skin Renew– helps restore skin to it’s natural tone.
My thoughts
I snagged my exfoliating soap and Dove Advanced Care deodorant and got to work! After exfoliating, drying and applying my new deodorant, my armpits were softer (after roughly 5 days). Sweat and odor eliminated, my red inflamed armpits were calm and happy. My favorite of the three deodorants is the Skin Renew. I will update you guys at a later date, but I hope that it restores my skin tone because my armpits are a war zone!
