dove_pinkrosa_cleartone_deodorant_large71-449839I’ve been shaving my armpits since high school and one of my biggest frustrations has always been the darkening of the skin in my underarm area.  This problem is even more noticeable in women of color because our skin scars and discolors easily.

We get irritation from razor blades from constantly shaving our armpits several times a month.  Sure it’s exfoliating but it also causes discoloration of the sensitive armpit skin overtime.  Two weeks ago I started the Dove® Clear Tone™ Pink Rosa Deodorant Two Week Challenge and didn’t really know what to expect.

The new Dove® Clear Tone™ Pink Rosa Deodorant  has many of the same benefits as the regular Dove but also has ingredients to improve the skin underneath the arms.  I used the product for 14 days and I see some really good results.

I used the product once a day, sometimes twice if I went for workout.  The deodorant has good protection to keep perspiration at bay.  By the second week of using the deodorant, I noticed my armpits becoming more even, with the dark striped marks in the area becoming lighter in color.

Did you know? When underarm skin is irritated by shaving, it can respond by creating dark marks.
