Ready to unveil those beautiful, more even underarms? Here’s the routine that’s creating a buzz:
Step 1: Gentle Exfoliation
Kick off your shower routine by using a gentle body scrub on your underarms and gently massage the scrub onto your underarm area, helping to remove dead skin cells and promote a smoother surface.
This exfoliation primes your skin for the next steps and is essential for allowing the subsequent products to work effectively.
Step 2: The Glycolic Acid Boost
Once you step out of the shower, use the Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toning Solution.
The glycolic acid acts as a chemical exfoliant to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and promote a more even skin tone. Apply a small amount to your underarms and gently massage it in. Do give it some time for the solution to fully absorb into your skin.
This step not only aids in lightening pigmentation but also helps improve the overall texture of your underarm area.
Step 3: Lock in Hydration
