In the hierarchy of skincare priorities, tending to your armpits falls pretty low.

How to get even-toned, smoother underarms

And we know, you dreamt of having smoother, more even-toned underarms just like your favorite celebs. But, in order to get the stubble-free underarm of your dreams, you may be skipping one small step that is crucial to achieving it and that's exfoliating.

So if you're not doing that yet, maybe now is the perfect time to start. Here, we've listed down the ways you can start exfoliating, depending on your budget.

Laser Hair Removal

Budget: PhP 3,500 per session

Laser hair treatments are the quickest way to address issues like dark patches, bumps, and underarm lines.

Bloggers like Michelle Dy and Kryz Uy are fans of this treatment so if you want to invest in laser hair removal, make sure to commit going once a month.

Underarm cleaning

Budget: PhP 1,200 and up depending on the clinic

Do you know there are professional underarm cleaning services too? Underarm cleaning or underarm facial is a professional scrub done in a spa-like setting.

Clinics such as the Belo Medical Group, Skin Station, Aivee Clinic, and Flawless have treatments like this to help unclog your armpits from dirt and other gunk lying beneath the skin.

Clay Mask Detox

Budget: PhP 500 and up

Although commonly used for the face, you can also apply clay masks on your underarms because it helps unclog pores and gives skin the boost it needs without the facial.

Clay masks are also considered the most gentle way of exfoliating but make sure to understand your skin first before buying anything.

Exfoliating Toners

Budget: Php 300 and up

If you're not too keen on clay masks, you can also try chemical exfoliants. Use your facial toners on your armpits too before moisturizing or applying your deodorant.

Chemical exfoliants are perfect for people with acne or with ingrown hairs. But make sure to consult with your dermatologist first before trying anything.

Scrub

Budget: PhP 200 and up

Scrubbing your armpits is the easiest way to slough away dead skin and debris at the comfort of your own shower.

But, be wary as you want your scrub to be scrubby, but not too scrubby! So, it's recommended to opt for gentle scrubs like sugar, salt, and baking soda.

Lastly, the most important thing you can do to maintain the beauty of your armpits is also the most important thing you can do for your face: Wash them every single day.
