2. Cleansing and Care needs for Face
• The Cleansing and Care of face are, removal of facial make-
up, surface, oil, dead cells and crusts. Although water is good
and cheap cleansing agent but it is ineffective on its own
against oils. Soaps can emulsify oils and therefore, soap and
water can effectively remove oils.
•But disadvantage of this combination are: It may remove too
much oil from skin surface leaving it rough and dry

viscous.

opening rather than absorption.

comfortable shave, be sure to use a fresh blade

47. • Tips after hair removal from the underarms
• 1. After you have waxed or shaved your underarms, apply a post-wax or
shave cream or mist
• 2. Once waxed or shaved, avoid applying any deodorant or perfume on
that particular day as your skin is sensitive and prone to rashes
• 3. For the next two days, clean, exfoliate and moisturize without fail
Caring of under arms
• 1. Take a bath regularly. Insufficient bathing and poor hygiene lead to an
unpleasant body odor, which is secreted from hidden body parts—those
that don’t get much sunlight—such as your genitals, scalp, areas between
your toes, and underarms. Practice good hygiene for your armpit care by
bathing regularly using anti-bacterial soaps, and make sure you don’t
neglect those “hidden” body parts.
16-02-2024 Niveditha G (Nargund college of pharmacy) 47
48. • 2. Using antiperspirants.
• Sweating is a natural process that controls the body’s internal temperature, but
excessive perspiration contributes to BO, and not to mention, a low self-esteem.
There are many ways to handle sweat, such as using antiperspirants, underarm
care products, and moisture-wicking fabrics when dressing for the gym. But
when perspiration level is out of control, care for underarms should already
mean consulting a doctor.
• 3. Pampering your armpits.
• Avoid dark armpits by giving your underarms a weekly pampering treatment the
same way you get a facial and spa service regularly. It’s one of the remedies for
dark underarms. Exfoliate your underarms at least once a week with a natural
scrub or body brush while taking a shower. However, don’t overdo it as scraping
or scratching your armpit skin is one of the dark underarms causes.
16-02-2024 Niveditha G (Nargund college of pharmacy) 48
49. • 4. Choosing a deodorant that works.
Make your deodorant a part of your dark underarm’s treatment or dark
underarms remedy because using the wrong product is a common dark
armpits cause. Choose a deodorant that suits your underarm skin
condition, lifestyle, and perspiration level as a dark armpit remedy at
home. If you want flawless underarms, we recommend Dove Ultimate
Repair Deodorant. Made with ¼ moisturizing cream and face serum
ingredients, it fights stubborn dark underarm spots to give you even-
toned, more beautiful underarms

50. DEODRANT

by the bacterial breakdown of perspiration in armpits, feet and other areas of
the body. A subgroup of deodorants, antiperspirants, affect odour as well as
prevent sweating by affecting sweat glands. Antiperspirants are typically applied
to the underarms, while deodorants may also be used on feet and other areas in
the form of body sprays.
• ▪ Deodorants are often alcohol-based. Alcohol initially stimulates sweating, but
may also temporarily kill bacteria. Other active ingredients in deodorants include
sodium stearate, sodium chloride and stearyl alcohol.
• ▪ Deodorants can be formulated with other, more persistent antimicrobials such
as triclosan that slow bacterial growth or with metal chelant compounds such as
EDTA. Deodorants may contain perfume fragrances or natural essential oils
intended to mask the odour of perspiration. In the past, deodorants included
chemicals such as zinc oxide, acids, ammonium chloride, sodium bicarbonate
and formaldehyde, but some of these ingredients were messy, irritating to the
skin or even carcinogenic
