When it comes to skin- and bodycare, we always focus on the face and extremities. Basically, the parts of our bodies that are always seen by other people. But have you ever wondered if you’re giving your whole body the TLC it needs? For example, when was the last time you took care of your underarms beyond putting on deodorant after your bath? We thought so.

Take your cues from Belo Baby Gabbi Garcia and learn why you should start an underarm skincare routine, stat.

1. The underarm skin is super thin and sensitive.

Do you have an underarm skincare and treatment routine? According to @gabbi, it’s a must! After all, the armpits can be one of the most problematic areas of the body in terms of skin quality, so it only makes sense that you give them extra-special care!

Just like our eye area, our underarm skin is very thin. This is why it’s more prone to darkening. This can be due to using harsh antiperspirants, friction from wearing dark and tight-fitting clothes, or using acidic “natural” treatments like calamansi and tawas as Dr. Belo pointed out. So similar to how we take good care of our facial skin, we also need an underarm skincare routine to maintain its healthy and flawless appearance.

2. Shaving, plucking, or waxing your underarms takes a toll.

It’s common knowledge, but these hair removal procedures can make your underarms darker and uneven. Chicken skin, or that bumpy texture you get after doing these hair removal methods, is also a common underarm skin problem for women. To prevent these from happening, or worsening further, you can use a beauty deodorant like Belo’s which will rejuvenate your underarm skin. It contains ingredients, similar to your skincare creams, that nourish and renew your underarms.

3. You will feel more confident if you don’t have to worry about it.

Dark and uneven underarms are a source of insecurity for a lot of women. They think that they can’t wear sleeveless tops or raise their arms confidently if they have dark underarms. But did you know that there are a lot of ways to improve your underarm complexion? Gabbi Garcia’s go-to Belo treatments for her underarms are the Angel Whitening Laser and Skin Master Underarm.

4. It doesn’t have to be complicated.

While we love the multi-step skincare routines, you don’t have to go to such lengths when it comes to your underarms. Aside from her Belo appointments, Gabbi also uses the Belo Underarm Whitening Cream to even out and brighten her underarms. You simply apply it in the evening before you go to bed, so your skin can fully absorb all the nutrient goodness in its formula as you sleep. No 10-step skincare required!

5. Exfoliating is also an option.

Because our underarms function just like any other part of our skin, you need to get rid of the dirt, debris, and dead skin cells to reveal the new layer of skin underneath. A gentle exfoliation on your underarms every now and then will do wonders for your kili-kili, trust us! But Dr. Belo says no to harsh physical exfoliation—instead, go with chemical exfoliants like kojic acid or pigmentation zappers like Vitamin C, both of which can be found in the Belo Prescriptives Tyrosinase Inhibitor.

So yes, an underarm skincare routine is an extra step in your already extensive skincare routine. But there’s nothing wrong with pampering and taking care of yourself. If it makes you feel good and empowered, you should definitely give it a try.
