So we all want to smell good and stay dry. Yes, we all use some sort of antiperspirant or deodorant. They come in all different ways, solids, gels, sprays, etc.. but do we really know what we are putting on our bodies?
Tip – Put on deodorant before bedtime. It will absorb better at night and last longer for the next day.
Lets break down what exactly is in each type of deodorant:
SOLIDS – Contain a mix of silicone based waxes that do not melt away. They leave a white, silky powdery surface behind.
GELS – Typically go on clear and do not have as many waxes. They leave a wet look and feel. It doesn’t leave a white stain on your clothing.
SPRAYS – Contain gases in them such as the gas that is in lighters called butane and hydrofluoro carbon. The pros to sprays is they are safe and dry very quickly.
