It's best to apply deodorant after you've dried your armpits completely. If you're applying it right after shower, make sure you dry armpits with towel and then apply deodorant. Layering it with water or products makes them ineffective.

02Shake it off

Shake the deodorant can for 8-10 seconds before applying it on your body. It makes sure the contents are evenly distributed in the bottle and it is not sprayed in its concentrated form. Do this every time you apply it.

03Keep the distance

It is recommended to hold the can at least 15 cm from skin while applying it. If it is held very close to skin, it will cover a lesser area with too much product and hence would be wasteful. A distance of 15 cm ensures right amount which makes it last long.

04Avoid using on affected skin

Don't ever apply deodorant or antiperspirant immediately after shaving armpits or on broken skin. Some deodorants contain alcohol and harsh chemicals which not only irritate the affected skin but also would be ineffective.

Deodorant prevents odour while antiperspirant prevents sweat. Antiperspirants actually help in reducing sweat which is the root cause of body odour. And your deodorant works on covering the smell of excessive bacteria and giving a pleasant smell. If you tend to sweat a lot use a strong antiperspirant or go for a product that has both like Rexona Aloe Vera Underarm Odour Protection. If you don't sweat much, a deodorant might be enough.
