It’s not very often that you’ll find me writing about armpits. It’s not really a topic that is fun to write about and for some women, it can be downright embarrassing. Armpits aren’t very sexy, but since summer is just around the corner, it’s time to get those bad boys in shape and ready for sleeveless dresses and swimsuits.
Can I get an amen?
I’ve been shaving my armpits since I was a teen and really haven’t put too much thought and effort into taking care of them. Apart from shaving and applying deodorant, I don’t do anything else. I just always assumed armpits were armpits and there wasn’t much you could do to improve their appearance.
But, I was wrong.
Did you know that 36% of what you remove while shaving is skin? Each time you put that razor to your armpits, a little over a third of what you are removing is skin. If you’ve been having issues with irritation and redness in your armpits, I’d venture to say this is why!
But, it isn’t a lost cause. Dove has created a new deodorant to offer the best care for your armpits.
I’ve been a longtime fan of Dove lotions and I’m excited to see that their new deodorant, Dove Advanced Care, features NutriumMoisture. If you’ve ever used a Dove lotion with NutriumMoisture, then you know just how much it can help your skin. But if you are like me, you never even thought to put lotion on your armpits. Well, because they’re armpits. And because of Dove Advanced Care Deodorant with NutriumMoisture, you won’t have to remember. It’s as simple as applying your deodorant like you normally would.
For a limited time, you can print a $2 off coupon on your purchase of Dove Advanced Care Deodorant with NutriumMoisture. In my market it’s about $4.88, so after the coupon you are looking at $3 for deodorant. And just think, you’ll be taking care of your armpits, too!
Because I’ve never really put too much thought into the care of my armpits, I’m wondering if I’m alone. Do you do anything special to take care of your armpits?

I usually only use Dove deodorant/antiperspirants, so gentle and I love how Dove represents “real” women in their ad campaigns.
Ty says
For some reason, I always put a little lotion under my pits before applying the lotion. It really cuts down on the irritation.
Kelsey Apley says
I had no idea about it removing skin, craziness!!! That deodorant sounds amazing and I agree I am a huge Dove fan!
Theresa @ Faith and Family Reviews says
I am currently using Dove deodorant for the first time, I believe. Otherwise, I have never done much with my armpits.
TerriAnn @ Cookies & Clogs says
Nope, never thought to moisturize my arm pits and I don’t do anything to care them, What a PIT-y, right?! I’ll have to check out this new product!
Raijean says
I’ve been using Dove and I have noticed a complete change. Love them!
Nichol says
Like you I just wash them, shave and apply deodorant. I love Dove products and had no clue it removed skin.
Kelly Hutchinson says
My daughter is 15 and just started shaving her pits. They are very sensitive and I think this Dove deodorant would be perfect for her.
Tara says
I had no idea I was taking off so much skin! That makes sense about irritation. I love Dove products. My guy uses the Dove Men’s line, and I use a lot of their lotions. I hadn’t tried their deodorant, but now I will.
Lena says
I so need better protection for my pits – hate sweet pit clothes and personally adore Dove
Stacie @ The Divine Miss Mommy says
I don’t think that I do anything for my armpits besides shaving them (my husband is very appreciative) and putting deodorant on them (everyone else is very appreciative). I did get a piticure from Dove at the Mom 2.0 conference and LOVED it!
Paula @ Frosted Fingers says
Dove is my favorite deodorant. I’ve been using secret lately and I’ve noticed they just don’t feel as nice as when I use Dove.
Marcie W. says
I really adore the way Dove embraces beauty. I have sensitive arm pits and am allergic to a lot of deodorants, so I am very curious to try the new Dove. Thanks for the awesome coupon too!
Angela says
I shave my pits twice a week. Dove doesn’t irritate even right after shaving.
Penelope Guzman says
I used this and it does work! I can’t always find it in stores though, I guess it’s very popular and sells out quickly.
