With summer right around the corner, it's time to break out all of those sleeveless tops, swimsuits, and cute summer dresses. But these aren't so cute if your underarms are irritated and red. I know it sounds funny, but this is something a lot of women worry about, and funky underarms can cause very real confidence issues. 

So why does underarm skin tend to end up red, itchy, and irritated? Well, there are a couple of reasons. First, shaving can cause major problems with the thin skin. Think about it...Dragging a sharp razor blade against the delicate skin can cause redness and even tiny cuts. Ouch! In fact, studies show that when you shave, 36% of what the razor picks up is actually your skin. (Yikes!) 

Second, a lot of deodorants contain harsh chemicals and other ingredients that can cause further irritation and even dry the skin out. This isn't only uncomfortable, it's also pretty unattractive. So it's no wonder women feel a bit of embarrassment when it comes to the state of their armpits during warmer months. 

Thankfully, the folks at Dove have a wonderful, soothing solution that will get those underarms in the perfect shape for summer. Dove® Advanced Care Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant with NutriumMoisture™ offers a whopping 48 hours of protection against moisture and odor, plus  NutriumMoisture™, a special blend of moisturizing ingredients, which keeps the skin hydrated and soft. It also comes in a wide variety of fragrances, so you're sure to find something that reflects your own personal style. 

I received Dove® Advanced Care Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant with NutriumMoisture™ to check out for myself. I am already a HUGE fan of Dove products, so I couldn't wait to give this a try! I received 2 scents: Nourished Beauty, which is a light, powdery scent with notes of Jasmine and Rose, as well as Pink Rosa, a fun scent with floral and fruity with scents of violet, rose and raspberry blossom. While they both smell wonderful, I have to say that the Pink Rosa is definitely my favorite. I love fresh, fruity scents!

I have been using this product, and I have to say, I am quite impressed. Not only does my skin feel more supple and soft, I have also noticed that there is less redness and irritation. Another thing I love is the 48 hours of protection. This product lasts and lasts, while remaining gentle to the skin. Also, this deodorant doesn't cause any white, cakey messes, so you can raise your arms in total confidence.
