Which 'Gossip Girl' Star Loves Pretty Armpits?
by Elizabeth Sexton
Jessica Szhor is used to saying what she thinks as her character Vanessa Abrams on ‘Gossip Girl.’
Off-screen, Szohr is urging women to engage in a little armpit love.
As the face – and underarms – of Dove’s new campaign, Szhor is trying to make a difference for the 93 percent of women of think their underarms are ugly – according to a 2010 Dove skincare survey.
Szhor is helping promote the Ultimate Go Sleeveless deodorant, which according to Dove, improves the appearance of armpits within five days.
“Having a great pair of shoes or fun belt can be just as important as having soft, beautiful underarms when it comes to my outfit,” she says. “I know a lot of women are shy to show their underarms or wear something sleeveless and it can really limit your fashion choices.”
Embodying the brand know for embracing all facets of natural beauty, Szhor is very comfortable in her skin, which is sprinkled with tattoos - including the word “simplicity” running vertically along her right side.
