  • First, you can choose to use soaps specifically designed for the underarm area; nowadays, there are many soaps on the market formulated to lighten underarms and prevent sweat and odor.

  • Moisturize your underarms daily before bed by applying cream and gently massaging the area for about 1 to 2 minutes; this stimulates collagen production in that area. As I mentioned, doing this over time will make a huge difference.

  • Exfoliate every two weeks. The underarms are a very delicate part of the body, so be very gentle when exfoliating; exfoliation stimulates collagen production in the area, which will firm up your skin over time.

  • Keeping underarm skin firm requires a combination of physical activities; you can do targeted exercises at least three times a week. Speaking of skin firmness, I’ve already shared a tip here on the blog—the apple tip—that helps with skin firmness.

I hope you enjoyed it; see you next time.
