AS the summer season approaches, it is essential to stay fresh and confident.
Knowing how to apply antiperspirant and deodorant correctly can make a significant difference in your daily routine.
We love the feeling of beautifully cared for underarms, when our skin feels softer, smoother and more beautiful to touch.
Keeping them protected and cared for means we can worry less about how to reduce sweating and spend more time enjoying those little things like wearing that silk dress with confidence, sporting strappy tops in summer and feeling the sunshine on our skin.
Bliss
We have been thinking about how to control sweating and give our underarms the luxury care they deserve leaving us free to feel pampered and relaxed all day long.
Relax
Nerves can bring on excessive sweating. Try to find little ways to relax each day for us, it is with a warm bubble bath or a cup of tea in our favourite mug.

Sweating too much could be a sign of hyperhidrosis and diaphoresis. It is worth chatting to your doctor if you think this could be the case.
Exfoliate
By encouraging the turnover of softer skin and removing dead skin cells, exfoliating armpits once a week puts us on the right path to managing sweat.
Choose a caring antiperspirant
Use an antiperspirant which protects against sweat and really cares for and protects your underarm skin.
Apply antiperspirant before bed
Because we sweat less at night, the ingredients inside our deodorant can absorb into the skin while we sleep. So we wake up with soft and beautifully smelling underarms.
Keep a spare deodorant in your handbag
Topping up throughout the day makes for a stress-free transition from morning meeting to evening cocktails.
Stay hydrated
Drinking plenty of water helps to reduce sweating by keeping skin cleansed and fresh.
How to use antiperspirant or deodorant sticks
Using a stick antiperspirant or deodorant is straightforward. Twist the base to dispense the product. Sweep the stick over each underarm two to three times to ensure even coverage.
Make sure your skin is clean and dry before application for the best results. Allow the product to dry before putting on clothes to prevent any residue.
How to use roll-on antiperspirants or deodorants
Roll-on antiperspirants or deodorants are easy to use. Simply roll the product over each underarm a couple of times to get good, even coverage.
Ensure your skin is clean and dry before application.
Let the product dry completely before dressing to avoid any white marks on your clothes.
