There’s nothing worse than having itchy armpits. My skin can be sensitive and shaving daily (especially during the “bare” months of summer) can really irritate my underarms, causing itchy bumps and ingrown hairs. Sometimes heavily perfumed deodorant can irritate it further. There’s no sense in shaving to look pretty if you have to walk around scratching your pits all day.
I wouldn’t say I have sensitive skin, but it tends to be on the dry side so I usually try to steer toward gentler skin products. While exfoliation is an important step in anyone’s skin care regimen to remove pore-clogging oil and debris, some exfoliating scrubs can leave my skin raw, seeming to cause more harm than good. That’s why I was delighted to try NIA 24 Physical Cleansing Scrub – it’s the perfect combination of strong but gentle.
Do you ever get those tiny, hard little bumps on your skin, especially in the winter, that make it feel like chicken skin? I get them on the backs of my thighs and arms and they are itchy and annoying. Well, these tiny little bumps have a name: Keratosis Pilarsis (KP) and they affect nearly half of the world’s population. DERMAdoctor has developed the first product specifically designed to treat this chronic skin condition, KP Duty dermatologist moisturizing therapy for dry skin.
My skin tends to get very dry particularly in the cold winter months. Daily bathing seems to only exacerbate the problem, leaving my skin raw, red and sometimes even itchy. I try my best to avoid regular soap or heavily perfumed body washes and cleansers, but I’ve had a difficult time finding any that don’t still feel like they are leaving something behind on my skin.
