Why do my underarms feel irritated?Updated 2 months ago

Underarms can be sensitive at times, and irritation can pop up for lots of everyday reasons - even if you’ve been using Woohoo happily for ages.

Some common causes include:

• applying deodorant immediately after shaving or waxing

• using more deodorant than you need

• deodorant from yesterday not being fully washed off

• rubbing from clothing

• natural sensitivity to bicarb or essential oils

Giving your pits a nightly wash with warm, soapy water helps keep things calm. If things feel a little “stuck”, a gentle deep clean with a clay mask can help reset the skin’s surface.

If irritation continues, please reach out - we can help you choose a gentler formula or troubleshoot what’s going on.
