If you’re living in India, a deodorant is an essential personal care item, regardless of your gender. Deodorants and roll-ons are fragrance products that work by neutralising or masking the odour caused by bacteria that thrive in warm and moist environments. Some formulations also work to reduce sweat production and contain additional active ingredients to maintain the appearance of your skin in that area.
When applying deodorants or antiperspirants, your primary focus should be the areas where sweat and odour are more likely to occur. Here are some common spots:
1. Underarms:
This is the most common area to apply deodorant. Make sure to thoroughly clean and dry the underarm area before application.
2. Back and chest:
If you tend to sweat more in these areas, you can apply deodorant or antiperspirant to help control odour.
3. Feet:
If foot odour is a concern, consider using a specialised foot deodorant or antiperspirant. Apply it to clean and dry feet, paying attention to the soles and between the toes.
4. Inner thighs:
For those who experience perspiration or chafing in the inner thigh area, applying a deodorant or antiperspirant can help keep things fresh and dry.

When it comes to the unique needs of women, female-friendly formulations tend to be gentler on the skin and are available in more subtle, feminine scents. Ultimately, choosing a deodorant comes down to personal preferences and what works best for your body.
