I Love Masks So Much I Got One For My Armpits

My love of face masks is well documented. I do at least two a week, and I have a mask for every mood, every concern, and every day of the week (don’t do a mask every day of the week, but feel free to own 7+ masks). When I was dealing with my Orange Armpit Fiasco that let to the Great Deodorant Switcheroo, I found out that Megababe (the makers of my new, lovely deodorant) make a detoxifying armpit mask. I didn’t need to know anything more. I love a mask, I love a weird, niche beauty product, and when it comes to beauty products I will try anything. But this mask did seem like something that could actually help me and my troubled pits.

Happy Pits Underarm Mask is specifically created to help ease the transition between antiperspirant and natural deodorant. Apparently, it can be a REAL sweaty and stinky time. I haven’t noticed anything truly horrendous, but I HAVE been annoyed by the fact that I now have to think about what’s going on with my underarms. I literally did NOT sweat before, and I never smelled. Now I don’t stink, but I do smell like a person, and sometimes being a person involves not being perfectly sparkly fresh.

I have been using this mask about 2 times a week, for a few weeks, and while I don’t really buy that it’s pulling out toxins or whatever (It isn’t. That’s not a thing), it does help my pits feel fresher and really deep cleaned. (Using a Salux Washcloth also helps.) The mask contains glycolic acid, a chemical exfoliant, which I think helped clear up my orange pit issue (which is now, blessedly, completely gone).

Happy Pits Underarm Mask comes in a tube with an applicator tip, so you can swipe it on your pits mess-free. It’s doesn’t dry, and you do end up sort of standing in a sumo wrestler pose for 5 minutes or so. I tend to put it on right before I shower, so I apply it wearing a towel (I don’t want to get mask all over my clothes) and then hop in the shower to wash it off. If you love a goofy, niche beauty product, you just want to deep clean your armpits, or both, this mask is for you.
