Underarm Tips



Summer has hit and the temperatures are soaring in some parts of this world! One thing young ladies detest is underarm moisture and odor! We did some research and found a few products that are all natural and claim to be safe for their customers. Finding a good natural product isn't always easy so we wanted to share our findings with you.

In May we attended a Science fair and one of the projects was about those popular deodorants that claim to leave no mark or residue on your black dress. The student experimented with four different brands and found that not one of them actually performed as their advertisers claimed they would.

When you choose an underarm product, be sure to have your parents help you to research and be sure it's the best for your skin. There are a few things you'll want to keep in mind when caring for that sensitive skin.

1. When you shave be sure to use a safe product to help reduce the risk of cutting yourself. Aveeno has a sensitive skin formula in their shaving cream line.

2. When you shave, the blade will exfoliate the skin for you so there is no need to scrub that delicate area with an abrasive sponge.

3. Replace your razor regularly and be sure to clean the blade thoroughly with hot water after each use.

4. When you're done showering, pat underarm slightly dry. You want to have the skin slightly moist when you apply the deodorant to help activate your product.

5. Deodorant/Antiperspirant applied to the inside of the thigh will help reduce irritation from walking in skirts.

Here are a few sites to check out with your parents for safer underarm care.

I use Tom's! I love it too!

Also, remember that when you are purchasing a deodorant, make sure to get one that does not contain aluminum. Aluminum is very harmful and is linked to Alzheimer's. You may have a hard time finding deodorant that doesn't contain it, but it would be best to not use the aluminum based stuff!

Great article! :D

I use Tom's as well, and it works great for me. We used to get some type of rock thing (I don't remember the name) but after a while it made my armpit sore. Tom's works much, much better. :)

We have used Tom's, J/A/S/O/N, Shaklee and Crystal. I like to avoid parabens and like all of the natural alternatives out there!
