Our underarms are probably one of the many body areas women are especially self-conscious about.
Most of us aren’t comfortable wearing sleeveless blouses for fear of flaunting pits that may give off a little stink on a bad day. But here’s an interesting fact – while 96% of Asian women are concern about the appearance of underarms, 91% of them are treating it as their beauty asset.
According to a research conducted by Dove Malaysia, representatives say that most Malaysian women shave and pluck their underarm hair without realizing the damage cause by these grooming techniques. Shaving and plucking their underarms will cause irritation, leading to dark and damaged skin. The skin of the underarms are prone to pigmentation and skin damage due to its thin layer.
Here are some underarm hair removal alternatives to help you maintain soft and smooth underarms.

Use A Good Razor
If you can’t think of anything else other than shaving, this could be your better choice. The specialized blades are softer, thinner and sharper than normal blades. The blades are also safe enough to prevent nicks and cuts.
Epilate
An epilator’s a good way to remove the hair around your underarms. It’s practically painless if the fuzz in your underarms are thinner, so you can breeze through it without having to squirm. And because the epilator tugs the underarm hair from the root, you don’t have to bother about removing your underarm fuzz on a weekly basis.
Get Pampered Along the Way
It’s honestly not easy trying to remove underarm hair, because on top of the sensitivity, our heads are just not meant to turn for such a long time. Why not just step into your favorite beauty salon and get yourself pampered while you get your armpit fuzz stripped. Most beauty salons offer all-in-one packages to removes hair and treat your underarm from irritation
