"Just in time for bathing-suit/skimpy-clothes season, there&amp;#x27;s a new spa treatment designed to help keep your skin looking smooth and perfect. It&amp;#x27;s called the PitiCure. Can you guess based on the name what it involves? I suppose my photo choice kinda gives it away ... That&amp;#x27;s right, this new take on the pedicure is all about the armpits! In honor of its new Visibly Smooth deodorant (the formula I was raving about recently), Dove has developed an underarm-centric spa treatment called the PitiCure. If you happen to live in New York City, you can head to the South Street Seaport next Wednesday through Sunday (June 24th through 28th, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.) for a free professional PitiCure, which includes a hand and neck massage, and an elbow and underarm exfoliation. Otherwise, check out this video; toward the end, they offer tips on giving yourself an at-home PitiCure. The main take-away here is that it&amp;#x27;s important to regularly exfoliate the underarms to help prevent ingrowns and buildup of bacteria (the latter of which exacerbates armpit stench). Personally, I never really do this--it seems counter-intuitive, since my underarms are so sensitive anyway. I&amp;#x27;m resolving to exfoliate them regularly with a washcloth pre-shave from now on, though. I like their suggestion of using exfoliating wipes, too, since those are gentler than scrubs and oh-so-convenient that it&amp;#x27;s not like you&amp;#x27;re adding too much time to your daily routine. What about you: Do you exfoliate your armpits? Got any other good tricks for preventing under-arm razorburn and irritation? More on exfoliation: * Do you use washcloths?
