With summer here, the girls and I are all conscientious about what we wear and how our skin looks. Every gone shopping with four girls? The fitting room is not quiet and there is a lot of lamenting and grumbling. Sleeveless, spaghetti strap, strapless tops- you get the picture-- are all concerns for worry when it comes to blemishes and even skin tone.
Fortunately, some beauty disasters, or stresses, are easier to avoid, prevent, and fix, than others. When it comes to dark marks appearing on your underarms, or uneven skintone, there is a lot you can do to avoid this specific embarrassing beauty disaster.
Try these tips:
Use Dove Clear Tone Deodorant
Dove's new clear tone deodorant is created to lighten dark marks that might appear on underarms and even out skin color. With regular use, the color of your skin will improve and lighten.
Exfoliate
Exfoliating your underarms can remove some of the dead skin cells that have built up and left behind dark marks. You might not even realize that this is an issue till you scrub. Try a gentle and natural sugar scrub for the best results.
Wax Instead of Shaving
If you are like my sisters and have dark hair but very fair skin, you might want to consider waxing instead of shaving. When you shave, your hair might still be visible, giving the appearance of dark skin. The twins had their introduction to waxing a couple weeks ago and they are still very unhappy about the whole episode.
Moisturize with Vitamin E
Just like the rest of your skin needs moisturizing and pampering, so does the skin on your underarms. Vitamin E is a great way to even out your skin tone and keep dead skin cells from building up. Apply once or twice a week.
Following these tips will have you ready to bare all (ok, not all)at the beach in no time!
