Sometimes, your pits get funky.

According to Dr. Skelsey, a simple armpit skin-care routine can help keep things feeling fresh.
However, its very easy to overdo.
Theres some physical exfoliation, but it also helps reduce odor, says Dr. Skelsey.

This one from EOS is super slick to give you a clean shave and fragrance-free to avoid irritation.
And especially if you have curly hair, she says.

Dr. Skelsey says something thats unscented is best.
This lotion from Lubriderm is enriched with vitamin B5 to help restore your skins barrier.
Be sure to let it dry before applying deodorant.
There are three ways to do this: antiperspirant, deodorant, or antibacterial products.
Deodorants wont impact sweat but will protect against odor.
Antibacterial products take that one step further by destroying the bacteria that make things stinky when mixed with sweat.
The effect of the antiperspirant will remain…especially if youre using the clinical strength versions.
