They say, it is always summer in Manila – and it is a good excuse to wear those cute tank tops and sleeveless shirts. 

But due to the hot and humid weather in the country, our body needs extra care and loving – especially body parts that are often not exposed like the underarms. As part of the body and skin, taking care of our underarms help us stay fresh and comfortable when there is a need to raise our hands. 

Even if my underarms are not my most favorite body parts, I make sure that I take care of them (especially that my mom say that infection on underarms may be linked to breast cancer). Anyway, I have been using Dove Ultimate White Deodorant for the longest time and I love that it has everything I need – odor-fighting, moisturizing and skin repairing ingredients. 

Recently, Dove sent a package for me to try the other Dove Deodorants complete with a shirt, scissor and new Dove deos. The challenge is for me to cut the shirt so I can wear it with no worries of showing my underarms as part of the #ReadyforReal campaign. 

The New Dove Original Nourished and Smooth deodorant, made with ¼ moisturizing cream, gives you 48-hr protection and real care for smoother, more nourished underarms. 

One of women’s insecurities are her underarms and I am glad that Dove has different deodorants and formulas for every woman’s needs. There’s a spray and roll-on types (even the stick ones).  I switched to  Dove Dark Marks Corrector Deodorant and I love how it is fresh-smelling and helps even out my skin tone. 

Now I am more comfortable to wear sleeveless tops, or even bikini – and raise my hands and just enjoy life.
