Talking Body

Let’s face it — body care isn’t something that we prioritise. More often than not, our bodies are subjected to a whole host of harsh treatments — from deodorants that dry out the underarm with sensitising ingredients, or painful ingrown hairs from regular shaving (without the aftercare!) — or even just neglected with a lack of regular moisturising.

But skincare shouldn’t just happen from the neck up. Taking care of the body is more important than we think, not just because it gives your skin that healthy all-over glow, but also because it makes you feel good. Ahead, we discuss some common skin concerns that women here face, like bacne, underarm health, and vulva care, and how to give your body the love it deserves in the holiday season.

HANDS IN THE AIR

…like we just don’t care, except most of us really do care about how our underarms look. Is it perfectly hairless? Does it have a healthy glow? Are those pesky scars from ingrown hairs visible?

While we’ve come a long way when it comes to body positivity, there’s still a lingering uneasiness that comes with flinging one’s arms up while in a sleeveless party dress. And according to a global study conducted by Dove, over 70 percent of women around the world feel self-conscious about the appearance of their underarms.
