When it comes to skincare, most of us focus on our faces and often forget about the delicate skin under our arms. Your underarms are just as prone to irritation, dryness, and discoloration as your facial skin—especially if you wax regularly. Without proper post-wax care, underarms can become bumpy, red, or even darker over time. The good news? With a little bit of TLC and the right products, you can keep your underarm skin smooth, bright, and irritation-free.
Cool the Skin Immediately
Why : Waxing opens up your pores and can trigger inflammation or redness. If you don’t cool the area quickly, these minor irritations can worsen.
Do This : Apply a cold compress or aloe vera gel for 10 minutes right after waxing. This helps soothe the skin and reduce redness.
Avoid tight clothing to prevent friction on your newly waxed skin.
Soothe & Brighten with BnD Underarm & Armpit Cream
The Issue : Repeated waxing can lead to rough texture and hyperpigmentation (dark spots) caused by post-inflammatory processes.
The Fix : Calming Ingredients: BnD Underarm & Armpit Cream contains anti-inflammatory ingredients (like chamomile) that soothe redness.
Brightening Power: Kojic acid helps prevent dark spots from forming, keeping your underarms looking bright and even-toned.
How to Use : Wait 24 hours after waxing before applying the cream (this prevents any stinging or irritation). Apply a thin layer twice daily for about 7 days to see maximum benefits.
Prevent Ingrown Hairs
Why: Ingrown hairs can cause bumps, further irritation, and even darker spots over time.
Do This : Exfoliate Gently: About 3 days post-wax, use a soft washcloth or gentle scrub 2 times a week. This helps clear away dead skin cells so new hair grows out rather than in.
Skip Heavy Deodorants : Give your underarms time to heal by avoiding heavily scented or strong deodorants until the skin has calmed down.
Pro Tip: You can also use BnD Underarm & Armpit Cream on bikini lines! Its gentle formula is perfect for any area prone to post-wax irritation.
Key Ingredients Spotlight
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Helps block the melanin production triggered by inflammation, preventing dark spots before they start.
Glycyrrhiza Uralensis (Licorice) Root Extract: Naturally brightens existing discoloration and evens skin tone with glabridin (a milder alternative to harsh whitening agents like hydroquinone).
Why It Matters for Waxing
Repeated waxing can cause post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). These powerful ingredients address both the source (inflammation-related melanin production) and the symptoms (visible dark spots), ensuring that your underarms stay smooth and evenly toned over time.
Healthy, Bright Underarms Are Possible
Waxing doesn’t have to mean sacrificing the look and feel of your underarms. By cooling the skin immediately, using BnD Underarm & Armpit Cream, and gently exfoliating, you can maintain soft, bright skin—even if you wax regularly. Remember, your underarms deserve just as much love as your face. With the right routine, you’ll enjoy comfort, confidence, and radiance every time you lift your arms!
