Shaving armpits is a common practice among women, but not everyone realizes that there are certain guidelines worth following to avoid skin irritation. First and foremost, the time of day when we perform this procedure matters.

A popular method for achieving smooth armpits is using a razor, although this can lead to minor damages, such as cuts, ingrown hairs, or red bumps. To avoid these issues, you should follow some recommended practices. This will make the procedure more skin-friendly.

When is the best time to shave armpits?

The best time to shave your armpits is in the evening. This timing allows the skin to naturally regenerate overnight. Shaving in the morning can lead to irritation, especially when applying deodorant to freshly shaved skin immediately.

Avoid shaving "dry" or using only water, as this increases the risk of irritation. It's much better to use shower gel or a special shaving foam to facilitate this process.

When using a disposable razor, shave in the direction of hair growth. After shaving, apply a moisturizing cream with aloe or panthenol to help soothe irritation.

It's also important to consider how we store used razors. After each use, dry them and store them in a dry place to reduce the risk of bacteria developing on the blades. Remember, disposable razors should not be used for more than a week, as intended.
