It's because you shave your underarms. Exfoliating should help some. Dove has a deodorant that will help with that. I rotate between a go sleeveless one (calms shaving irritation) and a clear tone one (reduces dark marks). It's really helped for me.

Try to put lemon in your under arm then later use sugar ro exfolliate.

Cory S. Basicly tweezering them out but with an epilator, which is build up of loads of little tweezers that pinch the hair out of the root.

Lol this might sound funny but it has helped me.. I tweezed my underarm hairs.. Yess! One by one😖 but is so much softer when I exfoliate them and they've gotten lighter surprisingly!! And they actually take longer to grow out. But I might try the epilator bcuz I don't think I want to plug them out one by one everyday lol I usually do it when I get bored and have completely nothing to do lol and for me is not painful. Feel sooo soft when your done😌

Kaylin A. I used to shave my underarms and then I decided to epilate because I was getting sick of shaving every second day! It makes your underarm feel so soft! The hairs come back thinner and take longer to appear too. I was so happy with the result I have never gone back to shaving (even though it is easier😉).
Cory S it is painful at first, especially the first tym you do it, but gradually it does not become as painful and it sure is worth it!! I pull my arm up and behind my head to give my under arm a stretch so it does not hurt as much. You should sure try it, its worth it😉
