EditTips

Honey is the best remedy for smooth armpits. Just dollop some honey on your underarms every month for some smooth armpits.
Consult a dermatologist if you have really dark and scaly underarms.
Waxing is preferred to shaving because waxing prevents the fast growth of hair whereas shaving causes hair to grow a lot faster.
If you don't know what shaving cream to use ask your friends and family as to which cream would best suit you or consult some skin care expert.

EditWarnings

Don't put perfume directly on your armpits as it will cause darkening of it.
Don't put too much deodorant on for smelling good. It causes dry skin faster.
