How Dove Cares about Women’s Armpits

Unilever’s personal wash brand Dove feels that armpits are one of the most neglected body parts. Many women do not even think of their armpits as skin and, therefore, deprive them of the care and attention they give the rest of their bodies.

Without even realizing it, Dove observes, women are damaging their underarms when shaving. In fact, only 64% of what is removed when shaving is hair, 36% is actually skin.

And as a result of shaving, skin loses 50% more moisture, which can lead to dryness and sensitivity. Dove wants to help women see their armpits in a new light and give them the care they need.

From bathing suits to evening gowns, women can now reveal their armpits with confidence and enjoy the benefits of special care, it suggests.

With the launch of new Dove Advanced Care Anti-Perspirant / Deodorant, Dove is drawing attention to the importance of underarm care by offering a three-step PitiCure treatment to women at events in New York, Los Angeles and Miami on Valentine’s Day Eve (Feb. 13, 2014).
