#EssentialUpgrade
In Miami, as well as the rest of South Florida, it seems like sleeveless season is a year long event. Any given day is the perfect excuse to slip on something that may reveal the underarm area, but when it comes to summer, it can happen on a daily basis. The heat here is pretty intense, and sleeveless tops are a staple of our summer wardrobe in South Florida. If they weren’t, we’d probably melt. Seriously!
As a beauty and plus size fashion blogger, it’s really important to me to always look and feel my best. I take good care of my skin and body, but to be honest with you, I never really thought about my underarm area too much in terms of skincare. I know, shame on me. But, I wash my underarms when I shower, doesn’t that count? Lucky for me, I found out it does count, but there are few more things that I can be doing to make sure that my underarm area is always ready to slay the day!
Slayin’ Sleeveless Season with Dove Advanced Care Anti-perspirant
Last week I attended an event at Barba Skin Clinic in Miami where I learned about the Dove Advanced Care Anti-perspirant. I have been using the Dove Go Fresh Anti-perspirant deodorant for years, but I was open to upgrading to Dove Advanced Care Anti-perspirant. What a better way to teach a gal some new beauty tricks than with an indulging skincare treatment by Astrid, one of the fabulous estheticians at Barba Skin Clinic.
Astrid pampered me with a Custom Facial that included deep cleansing and optimal exfoliation. She also performed an exfoliating treatment on my neck, chest, arms and hands, which are areas that are typically forgotten. During my treatment we chatted about all things beauty, especially how to keep underarms looking and feeling great all summer long. Dr. Barba joined in on the conversation and gave me some tips on how to prepare a skin care regimen for the underarm area. Because my readers are part of my bestie squad, I had to share all of the details with you too!
Skincare Regimen for The Underarm Area
Cleanse Daily- This one is a given. When you shower, make sure to thoroughly clean your underarm area with soap and water. Finish by patting the area dry with a towel when you get out of the shower.
Exfoliate- Exfoliating helps to remove dead skin while generating new skin cells. The easiest way to exfoliate underarms is by shaving, which you probably already do. To kick it up a notch, you can also gently use an exfoliating wipe or brush in the area once a week.
Moisturize and protect- Dove Advanced Care Anti-perspirant is an essential upgrade to your beauty routine that does more than provide 48-hours of odor and wetness protection. The NutriumMoisutre formula has added skincare benefits that leave your underarm area feeling soft and smooth, regardless of the season!
Dove was nice enough to give me a few Dove Advanced Care Anti-perspirants to try out. They are available in 15 fragrances, but my favorite so far is the Restore. It has a blue fig & orange blossom scent, that is perfect to kick-start summer!
Thanks to Barba Skin Clinic and Dove, I now have a skincare regimen that makes me feel even more confident to go sleeveless this summer. All I need now is a cute swim suit and cool pool to dive into!
