A Simple Guide to Daily Deodorant and Antiperspirant

Deodorants help manage body odour, while antiperspirants are designed to reduce sweating. Products vary, so read the label and follow its directions. Apply only to clean, dry, unbroken skin, and let the product dry before dressing if recommended.

Stop use if you develop a rash or persistent irritation. Fragrance-free products may be a better option for people who find scented formulas uncomfortable. A sudden or unusual change in sweating or body odour can have many causes; a clinician can advise if it concerns you.
