Shout Out to Deo

Since the 19th century, deodorant has been keeping the pits of many stench free. Of course, there are still many people who live on this planet that believe the use of deodorant justifies not taking a shower daily. Deodorant is an amazing product that can be used to cover up the smell that comes along with the water your body produces and secretes to help maintain body temperature and can also help reduce excessive sweating. It comes in many forms such as gel and powder. The one I want to talk about is deodorant spray.

In a world where bacteria is forming into new diseases and becoming stronger, using products that are harder to infect is becoming a norm. Gel and powder deodorant, if shared, can spread germs from one individual to another and cause infections. That is why spray deodorant is becoming so popular, especially for men. Men want something easy to apply, and in a rare situation, safe to share. As a man, I have used many of these spray on products that do their job of maintaining a stench and sweat free underarm environment for me. As a man, I also know the procedures that should be exercised by all men before the use of these products.

Shower. Yes, it is possible to be running late and have no time for a shower so just slapping on deodorant becomes an option, but it isn't the best one. It can definitely attempt to mask the smell, but by the end of the day you will smell like a complete mess. Making sure to shower before the use of spray on deodorant can make a huge difference in how people view your lifestyle. Smelling like a rotten egg isn't pleasing to anyone and you wont be able to mask it until you find a shower and hop in! I have found myself in situations where I wake up late and need to start my day as soon as possible, and I have learned that using powder deodorant can go a long way.

Of course, you'll need to pass a wash cloth on your pits before just slapping on any sort of “deo” without a shower. It helps remove the old deodorant left on the pits from prior use and wipe off any sweat accumulated during the day before. Washed clothes also go a long way when taking a shower isn't possible. You want to smell as nice as you can so let's all remember that washed clothes is a key aspect to smelling nice.

You should definitely shower at least once a day to remove all that old stink on your body. I have met people who refuse to shower more than three times a week and that lifestyle is one to respect, but to also think about. If you don't sweat much and don't smell like three day old feet, then good on you! But if the people around you are starting to make faces, I think it's time to hop into the shower and scrub those probably hairy pits.
