We are in full wedding season swing, and that means that we are getting tons of requests to help brides look their best on the BIG DAY. One of the more popular concerns, especially from summer brides is.....how do I get my underarms to look their best? Strapless and sleeveless gowns are prevailing bridal fashion, and shaving or simply waxing is just not enough to get those gorg, sexy underarms wedding ready. Even if you aren't getting married, summer dresses, and tank tops leave your underarms out to enjoy the season as well, so enjoy the tips below.
Here are a few tips to take your underarms to Sexy Town!
Step 1: Daily buffing- You can get buffing pads at any drugstore. Simply take the buffing pad and lightly buff your underarm, while in the shower. This rids your arm of not only dead skin, but deodorant buildup and also lint left from clothing.
Step 2: Shave with a fresh razor- Change your razor at least every two weeks, once a week is better. The fresh razor, as opposed to, that one that has taken residence in your shower caddy, gives your underarms a clean shave. No pulling, or cutting of the follicles, that will then heal and subsequently darken.
Step 3: Natural deodorant- Once your now beautiful underarms have completely dried, apply a natural deodorant. Natural brands do not contain harsh chemicals, that can contribute to skin darkening under the arm. Other natural options include using a baking soda paste, instead of deodorant. As baking soda kills order naturally.
Bonus tip: Want to lighten your underarms without harsh bleaching cremes? Use potatoes, natures natural lightener! Simply cut in half, and rub under your arm. It's gradual over time so have patience and repeat.
So raise those arms high this summer, confident that they are summer ready!
