An underarm facial is a skincare treatment designed to improve the appearance and health of the skin in the underarm area. This area is often overlooked in skincare routines but can benefit from special attention, particularly if you’re looking to address issues like dark spots, uneven skin tone, or skin texture.
It’s just like a facial, but for your armpits. Dirt, sweat, and deodorant often get trapped in hair follicles, clogging pores and causing blackheads. Discoloration and ingrown hairs are also common in the underarm area.
Doing an armpit facial will help clean out the pores of your skin, give it a more radiant appearance, and keep the skin soft, smooth, healthy, and moisturized.
The process typically includes the following steps:
Cleansing: Begins with a thorough cleansing to remove any deodorant, sweat, or impurities from the skin.
Exfoliation: Helps slough off dead skin cells and reduces the appearance of dark spots or uneven texture. This may involve physical exfoliants (like scrubs) or chemical exfoliants (such as acids).
Toning & Steam: Helps soften the skin and prepare it for deeper treatments like extraction.
Manual Extraction: Clears clogged pores, removes blackheads, and addresses ingrown hairs.
Treatment Masks: A mask may be applied depending on the skin’s needs—brightening, hydrating, or soothing. Ingredients often include vitamins, antioxidants, or calming agents.
Massage: Stimulates circulation and promotes relaxation while helping product absorption.
Hydrojelly Mask: Soothes and nourishes the skin while providing a cooling, anti-inflammatory effect.
Brightening Agents: Vitamin C, niacinamide, or glycolic acid may be used to lighten dark spots or hyperpigmentation.
Moisturizing & Hydration: Keeps the underarm skin soft and supple by locking in moisture.
Sun Protection: While sunscreen application may be less common in this area, it is still recommended if you expose the underarms to sunlight.
Laser Treatments (Optional): Advanced options like laser therapy may be used for excessive pigmentation or stubborn ingrown hairs.
It is recommended to get an underarm facial 10–14 days after waxing or sugaring.
If you shave or use depilatory creams, the treatment can be done 1–3 days after.
It’s also a perfect prep treatment for special events, like getting ready for Carnival outfits and costumes—ensuring your underarms are glowing and camera-ready.
Once monthly, paired with a consistent homecare routine, provides optimal results. Regular sessions help maintain skin health and long-term improvements in skin tone and texture.
