How do I shave my armpits?
What’s the best way to shave your armpits? Review these tips by Skintimate!
Having wet skin is important for any close shave. Shaving towards the end of a shower or bath will soften the hair. Always remember to use a moisturizing shaving gel, like the Skintimate® Skin Therapy Dry Skin or Skintimate® Signature Scents® Raspberry Rain® shave gel. Follow these steps:
-
Start by raising one arm overhead and apply your favorite Skintimate® gel or crème.
-
Keep your arm raised high, so that the skin is taut. Since underarm hair grows in many directions, it's best to shave up, down and side-to-side.
-
Make sure your razor is at a good angle to be pulled vertically downwards. Shave only where underarm hair is visible.
-
Rinse the razor after each stroke to keep the razor unclogged from excess shaving cream and cut hair.
-
Rinse underarm to remove all shaving cream, and repeat on the other armpit.
-
Wait approximately 30 minutes before applying moisturizer or deodorant after shaving your armpits – moisturizer and deodorant can irritate the delicate skin, and can sting. Good tip: try shaving your armpits at night when you don't have to put deodorant on soon after.
