1
Cleanse your underarms daily
Not sure where to start? Cleansing is our first underarm skin care step. Washing the day away removes impurities and excess oils to keep your skin clean and fresh. Make sure you choose a gentle cleanser that’s suitable for all skin types, like Dove Sensitive Skin Body Wash.
2
Make sure you moisturize
The skin under your arms is very delicate and is often forgotten about. If you ask us, it deserves the same level of care you give your face. All of our deodorants contain ¼ moisturizing cream to give you underarm care that goes further. With a non-irritating formula, they nourish your skin, leaving your underarms soft and comfortable.
3
If you choose to shave, change your razor regularly
What you do with your underarms is totally up to you. But, if you do choose to shave, it’s really important to change your razor regularly. Replacing your razor every week or so will give you a cleaner shave and help reduce the chance of bacteria building up, keeping your skin smooth and free from irritation.
4
Use a gentle deodorant
Wondering what kind of deodorant is best for sensitive skin? Dove Advanced Care Sensitive Stick is perfect for anyone experiencing underarm sensitivity to deodorant. It’s free from alcohol, has a delicate fragrance, and is enriched with our ¼ moisturizers with natural oil, to help give your sensitive skin the care it needs.
5
Wear breathable fabrics
Did you know that certain fabrics can dry out the skin under your arms, increasing the chance of irritation? To give your underarms an extra dose of care, try wearing breathable fabrics like cotton and linen.
