Deodorant is a big part of our lives. It’s something that we use every day. Whether going to the office, the gym or maybe shopping, it’s necessary to wear it.
However, choosing the right deodorant can be tricky because some people have sensitive skin, while others sweat a lot, so you need to find something that works for you.
Themba Ndlovu of Clere For Men Active shared tips to help you choose the right deodorant.
Determine your skin type: if you have sensitive skin, look for a fragrance-free deodorant with natural ingredients. For oily skin, you might prefer a deodorant that is gel-based. For dry skin, a cream-based deodorant might be a better option.
Consider your level of activity: if you sweat a lot, an antiperspirant containing aluminium-based compounds that block sweat ducts could work. If you are not too active, a deodorant that only masks odour will work just fine.
Go for a scent that you like: deodorants come in different fragrances, so it’s important to choose a scent that you like and complements your body’s natural odour.
Choose the correct type of deodorant: there are different types of deodorant. We have sprays, sticks, roll-ons, gels and creams. Always go for the one you feel comfortable using.
“For maximum all-day protection, keep your underarms clean and dry before applying roll-on. If your roll-on contains antiperspirant, apply it the night before. Night-time application gives the antiperspirant time to soak into your skin’s sweat ducts and helps protect you from perspiring the next day,” said Ndlovu.
Always remember that deodorants are not a one-size fits all. What works for you may not work for the next person, and vice versa.
However, now with autumn season approaching, taking care of your skin is important.
Skincare is a big part of our everyday lives. Each skincare product contains ingredients that have a specific purpose.
As we transition into autumn, it’s important to use products with ingredients that work better on your skin during the season.
Exuviance shares the following four autumn skincare ingredients that you must use.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that works hard to fight free radicals that can significantly damage our skin.
Many people tend to take in a lot of Vitamin C during autumn and winter to help fight colds and flu. This ingredient also works better during this season to correct dark spots and achieve an even skin tone.
Hyaluronic acid
Well-known for its humectant properties, this key skincare ingredient not only helps retain moisture, but also helps plump the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Niacinamide
Also known as vitamin B3, this ingredient helps with moisturising, and strengthening the skin barrier. It also helps with brightening and discolouration, making it an excellent option for those with dark circles.
Retinol
The purest form of Vitamin A, retinol is an antioxidant that stimulates collagen, activates cellular metabolism to encourage faster cell turnover, fades brown spots and discolouration, and improves skin firmness. – IOLnews.com
