Step 1: A Clean and Dry Start
Before applying spray deodorant, wash your armpitscompletely clean and drymake sure it is.
- From where?Deodorant is designed to inhibit the bacteria that cause sweat odor. When applied to dirty or sweaty skin, it loses its effectiveness by mixing with existing bacteria and odor, potentially causing a more unpleasant odor. It's best to dry your underarms thoroughly with a towel after showering. Applying it to wet skin prevents the product from adhering to the skin.
 
Step 2: Shake the Bottle Well
Deodorant bottle before use3-5 secondsShake vigorously throughout.
- From where?The active ingredients in spray deodorants (like antiperspirant aluminum salts and fragrance particles) can settle to the bottom of the bottle over time. Shaking ensures a homogeneous mix of these ingredients. This ensures you get the full performance of the product every time you spray, preventing blockages.
 
Step 3: Correct Distance Rule - 15 cm
Hold the bottle under your armpit for about15 cm (about a span)keep away.
- From where?Spraying too closely will concentrate the product in a small area, irritating your skin and leaving it feeling wet and sticky. It also increases the likelihood of leaving white marks. A 15 cm distance ensures the spray spreads evenly and thinly over a larger area, providing the most effective protection.
 
Step 4: Concise and Clear Application - The 2-Second Rule
Under each armpitabout 2 secondsSpray briefly throughout.
- From where?The goal is to cover the entire underarm area with a light layer. Applying for longer than necessary not only wastes product but also leads to excessive buildup on your skin, which can clog pores and cause irritation. A short, precise spray will provide adequate protection.
 
Step 5: Let It Dry
To get dressed after applying deodorantat least 30-60 secondsWait. Make sure your skin is completely dry.
- From where?Allowing the product to dry allows the active ingredients to fully settle into your skin, increasing its effectiveness. Additionally, getting dressed while still wet will eliminate the risk of the deodorant transferring to your clothes and leaving stains (especially yellow or white marks).
 
Common Mistakes and Additional Tips
- Do not use immediately after shaving:Applying spray deodorant immediately after shaving your underarms can cause burning and irritation due to the micro-cuts in your skin. It's recommended to wait a few hours.
 - Is Night the Best Time?If you're using an antiperspirant, applying it to clean, dry skin before bed can increase its effectiveness. Because your body sweats less at night, the product penetrates pores better and provides more effective protection the next day.
 - Don't Overdo It:Applying more doesn't necessarily mean more protection. The 2-second application mentioned above is usually sufficient.
 - Use in a well-ventilated area:Be sure to use spray deodorants in a well-ventilated area, such as the bathroom, to avoid breathing them in.
 
By following these simple steps, you can get the most out of your spray deodorant and feel fresh and safe all day long.
