Do you moisturise your armpits?

[boatybook]

Odd question, I know

Doesn't feel right to put moisturiser on before deodorant but it doesn't feel right to just miss them either???

Always after shaving, but at no other time.

Yes every day, I find my fake tan goes patchy there if I don’t. I’m genuinely slightly shocked it’s not a normal thing to do!

I never use fake tan either.

Er - no, I don’t moisturise my back back either and the skin there is no drier than legs and arms that I put lotion on everyday so I wonder if it’s really worth it!

Yes. Every day! Shower, moisturise face, body lotion on all over. Let it absorb, apply deodorant. Get dressed.

No, never heard of moisturising your armpits!

@stripeypillowcase Just curious, you apply a 48hr deodorant which is fair enough but surely by showering in the interim you are washing it off so ought to reapply? Or am I missing something?

No! Christ, there are enough other areas demanding my attention!

I don't, but I moisturise a lot. Am like a lizard so if I don't slather it on every night after a bath I'm sore and itchy. I do around the underarms( just not the armpit itself) but find my deodorant moisturising enough.

I feel how you feel about the soles of my feet though OP, they feel like I missed them so I always shove a load of foot cream on when I've got into bed.

Never have thought of doing that tbh.

I would also be worried that my deodorant wouldn’t work properly anymore with an extra layer between my skin and said deodorant.

No. It’s never even occurred to me. But I don’t moisturise much beyond my face and neck really. It makes me feel too sticky.

I do it at night when I moisturize the rest of my skin. Have done it for years.
