Pretty, Pretty Armpits (Giveaway!)

bathwrap-001Summer is the time I’m always plucking, shaving, waxing and pretty much doing all that I can to rid myself of annoying, unsightly body hair. God, it’s a lot of work! Especially when it comes to prickly, stubbly and gross-looking underarm hair.

Dove is totally on it and just released a new deodorant that works to minimize the appearance of underarm hair (Amy even posted about their launch party at the Roosevelt). Called Visibly Smooth, it’s a deodorant/antiperspirant that includes a Pro-Epil Complex with natural extracts and moisturizers. Keep using it and you’ll start to notice in a few weeks that your underarm hair is smoother, finer, and easier to remove. Plus your pits will smell ever so lovely as it comes in either Nature Fresh or Wild Rose scents.

dove6And the best part is that Dove developed something called the “PitiCure” so that you can give your underarms some much needed TLC this summer. After all, what’s summer without sleeveless dresses and tube tops? So here’s the procedure on using Dove Visibly Smooth to make your armpits ever so pretty:

Step One: Exfoliate those underarms. I like to use a gentle loofah or an exfoliating scrub like Bioelements Cactus Cloth to get rid of dead, dull skin.

Step Two: Rinse off those pits!

Step Three: Apply Dove Visibly Smooth anti-perspirant/deodorant. Not only will it work it’s magic by making your underarm hair less stubbly, this stuff is moisturizing to the max so that the delicate skin on your underarms is super pampered.

bath-towelAnd now lets get to the good part:
Dove will give 5 lucky LA Pretty readers their own Dove Visibly Smooth Deodorant to try, along with one of their fabulous bath towels!

Omg, I got a bath towel from the Roosevelt event and I use it every day. It’s super cute and useful because the top is velcro, so it’s stays put while I’m shaving, putting on tanning lotion, painting my nails, and basically doing all that pain in the ass girly stuff I have to do during the summer. I even included a picture of myself wearing it post-morning shower so that you can see how awesome it is. (Notice my now unused robe hanging there all lonely.) I love this bath towel.

Just send us an email with your name and mailing address to comments@lapretty.com with Dove in the subject line. We’ll pick 5 winners on July 10 and Dove will send each of you Visibly Smooth, plus one of their cute bath towels. Good luck! (US residents only, please.)
