How do you keep your underarms hair-free? While some women may swear by waxing, shaving is still the most common underarm hair removal method out there. In fact, around 70% of Filipinas prefer shaving to any other hair removal method. After all, shaving is quick and easy, and you can get rid of any unwanted hair without waiting for it to grow to must-hide-my-armpits-for-a-few-days levels.
If you prefer shaving for hair removal, but are worried about getting darker underarms as a result from it; Dove has the perfect solution for you. Dove girl Sabs Hernandez has actually proven how effective the product is in giving women lighter and smoother underarms. Read about her experience here:
Go shave coz it’s proven – Dove gives you lighter, smoother underarms!
By Sabs Hernandez
I used to have a love-hate relationship with my razor… only because I shave like a man! My hair grows really fast, and really dark and thick, too. And it’s not just me –I learned that Filipinas are afraid to lift their arms and expose their armpits. I mean, I feel that too!
Our underarm skin gets damaged each time we shave. It usually takes a week for the skin to heal from the trauma, but because we have to shave everyday (well, for me at least), our skin doesn’t have enough time to heal itself. Hence, the rough, dark underarms.
(So, before we move on, let me tell you that I am baring my underarms for all of you, so brace yourself!)
Here’s a little-known fact: Did you know that when you shave your underarms, one-third of what you shave is actually skin?
All the friction and abuse that we do to our underarm skin cause the discolorations. What Dove deodorants does is that it speeds up the healing process of the skin, and it protects and moisturizes the skin to prevent further damage!
The change that Dove does for the pits in just a few days is impressive! It’s like skin care for your armpits. ¼ of the deodorant is actually moisturizer, exactly the amount of moisture that our underarm skin needs to help heal the skin faster, and effectively.
So, now let’s take a look at photos of my armpits. I am exposing myself for the love of beauty, so here I am:
DAY ONE: I took a photo of my underarm and immediately used the DOVE deo stick because I want to see how long it will take to make my underarms look nicer.
You can see from the photo below that my underarms look dark and looks very rough.
DAY 15: Two weeks later, you can see a lot of improvement on my underarms! It appears lighter and smoother. Some of the rough, thick lines are starting to smoothen out and lighten, as well!
DAY 25: On the third week on using Dove deo, my armpits look so smooth and more even! You can see that it’s a lot smoother and my skin is more even than from day one!
Here is a closer look of my progress. I love that most of the lines are smoother now, and the bumps from ingrown hair have also subsided! Pigmentation is also lighter, it no longer looks dirty!
Imagine the results if you continue to use this product! I’m so happy that Dove delivers on its promise of lighter and smoother underarms!

Last February 23, Dove launched the “Go Shave” movement in Greenbelt to let women know that we can now shave as much as we want as long as we have Dove by our side to take care of our underarms and ensure that we avoid irritation and unwanted darkening. Top media and influencers also took part in the different activities and talks.
Dove Deo has a unique 1/4 moisturizing cream that soothes underarm skin and helps repair the damage caused by shaving, making it smoother and lighter.
