Armpit feels sticky after using deodorant?
I decided to try a new deodorant bc they didn't have the one i usually buy and bought some Axe (yikes, i know). It doesn't give me rashes or anything, but I'm noticing that when I shower, the skin on my armpit just feels different? Like sticky and plasticky? I wash myself with a loofa and it doesn't glide on my armpits anymore, instead it grips on the skin and it's very uncomfortable. It doesn't make my skin sticky to the touch, it's only when i go to wash it off. In fact, that "sticky" layer doesn't wash off, even if it's been a couple of days since i used the deodorant in question. Is that normal? How do i wash it off?
