How to get smooth armpits?

How do you get smooth armpits like in the models in the commercials?

  • they all seem so smooth and silky but i have no hair in my armpits and they bumpy and gross!! sorry 4 the TMI but does anyone have any suggestions?

  • Answer:

    Don't let yourself be too influenced by the media. Trust me, I've worked in the business (as an intern) and I can tell you right now NOTHING is what it seems. In print ads alone, 90% of the women you see are airbrushed to death (and the other 10% are airbrushed, but just not as much). You would be surprised at how many unattractive models/girls (in real life) end up looking great on camera after makeup and Photoshop do their magic. Anyways, I'm getting off topic, what I meant to originally say was that the models on TV with smooth skin most likely have the same skin as you; before photoshop that is. To get rid of shave bumps (VERY common), try using a SENSITIVE shaving cream (avoid irritation), or if that doesn't work, try using depilitating (sp?) creams or waxing. There are many creams out there you can buy with sensitive formulas that also moisturize. I use these kind of products if I don't have time to wax, or want the hair to stay away longer than shaving. Waxing is a great alternative for some people, although if you have sensitive skin you are prone to redness. Waxing removes hair from the root and not only lasts longer, it tends to leave the area smoother. You can have it professionally done, or you can buy wax strips from the pharmacy. I hope I helped =D

what i do is shave right at the end of my shower, raise ur arm and letthe hot water right on ur armpits it opens up the pores and the hair shave really closly, no stubble!! works for me!! if u shav e on hard hairs, it irritates the skin and isnt a close shave

always use shave gel like skintimate when shaving your armpits, and apply a good lotion like bath and body works right after you shave. a little bit of olive oil might help too. good luck.

use shaving cream to shave your pits, and keep shaving them. the red bumps will eventaully go away.
