Between shaving, deodorant, sweat, and friction, dead skin cells can build up over time, leaving the skin feeling rough or looking dull. Adding gentle exfoliation to your routine can help keep underarm skin looking smooth and refreshed.

Regular exfoliation may help: - Remove dead skin cells - Improve skin texture - Help reduce ingrown hairs - Prepare skin for a closer shave - Allow deodorant to apply more evenly - Promote a brighter, healthier-looking appearance The key is to exfoliate gently and avoid overdoing it. #### Choose a Gentle Exfoliation Method Sensitive skin requires gentle care. Pairing a mild exfoliating cleanser or scrub with a soft exfoliation tool can effectively remove buildup without unnecessary irritation. **Intrinsics [12-Ply Cotton Gauze](https://www.intrinsics.net/12-ply-gauze-skin-care-supplies-intrinsics)** is made from 100% medical-grade cotton and provides gentle physical exfoliation while remaining soft enough for delicate areas of the skin. Its durable construction makes it a favorite among skincare professionals. #### Tips for Healthy Underarm Skin For best results: - Exfoliate one to two times per week. - Avoid exfoliating immediately after shaving. - Follow with a gentle moisturizer if needed. - Stop if irritation occurs. - Avoid excessive scrubbing, as over-exfoliation can compromise the skin barrier. ## A Simple Addition to Your Routine Healthy-looking skin doesn't require a complicated routine. With gentle exfoliation and the right professional-quality tools, you can help keep your underarms feeling smooth, comfortable, and refreshed all year long.
