Instructions

• 1

  Use Vitamin E oil directly after you shave and dry your underarms. The Vitamin E will instantly refresh your skin and slow the rash from spreading if it has already started appearing.

• 2

  Apply Aloe vera to the burned area to cool the area and promote healthy skin regeneration. If you do not have aloe on hand, tea tree oil also works well for cooling the area and promoting new skin growth.

• 3

  Add more Vitamin C to your diet. Although you might not guess it, Vitamin C is an essential nutrient when it comes to skin health and nutrition. Simply taking a Vitamin C supplement or having an extra glass of Vitamin C-fortified orange juice can help stave off future rashes under your arms.
