8 Deodorant Habits You Need To Stop Doing Immediately

#1

Most of us put on deodorant and antiperspirant in the morning and forget about it entirely. It's a sort of a morning routine. But we don't realize that there are many things that go on under our arms.

#2 Put Deodorant On After Your Shower

The longer you are exposed to air, the more sweat you'll rub in with your deodorant. It's most effective when you get out of shower and apply it to clean skin.

#3 Not Reapplying It

You should clean your skin before you reapply your deodorant. Otherwise you'll be just rubbing sweat into your skin and masking smells.

#4 Sometimes You DON’T Know What You Need

If you sweat a lot, you need to use an antiperspirant. Those who have sensitive skin should stop using deodorants with a lot of chemicals.

#5 Matching Your Deodorants With Other Products

You should use similar scents as much as you can. Combining a cool scent with a peach shampoo leads to clashing smells. And you don't want that, do you?

#6 Using It Instead Of Taking A Shower

This actually makes sense. Nothing can replace a good shower. And as we mentioned before, if you put it on clean skin

#7 Applying To Much?

You can easily take applying deodorant too far. Some of them have a lot of chemicals which can lead to itchy underarms. Some have so many chemicals they can even lead to a rash.

#8 Applying Deodorant To Clothes

In order to work properly, deodorant needs to go onto your skin, not your clothes.

#9 Your legs.

Skin-tight jeans never really go out of fashion, but fitting into them can be a challenge. Lathering on a little deodorant can help you slide on your fashion favorites.

#10 The backs of your knees.

Anywhere on your body that skin meets skin will collect sweat and can get irritated. It's easy to forget the backs of your knees until sweat starts pooling back there. Just a dab of deodorant back there will keep you fresh.

#11 Not Applying It Before You Go To Bed

The reason why you should put on deodorant or antiperspirant before bed is because it clogs your sweat-producing pores and allows for less smell throughout the whole next day.
