Whether it’s a hectic day of plans, an intense spin class, or just a warm summer’s day, life can get sweaty. But there’s no need to let odour get in the way of your confidence with Dove Whole Body Deodorant. But what is whole body deodorant, how does whole body deodorant work, and how should you apply it?

What is whole body deodorant?

Put simply, whole body deodorant is deodorant that can be used all over your body. We make three different types: whole body deodorant spray, whole body deodorant cream, and a whole body deodorant anti-chafe stick. These aluminum-free deodorants won’t stop you from sweating, but they will keep odour at bay for up to 72 hours.

What are the benefits of whole body deodorant?

If you’re asking, “Is whole body deodorant necessary?”, let us run you through the benefits.

The main benefit of whole body deodorant is that it can be used almost anywhere on your body (depending on which type you choose). The best whole body deodorant for you will depend on what you’d like to use it for and where on your body you want to apply it. For example, Dove Whole Deo Body Invisible Cream is both gynecologist and dermatologist-approved, while our Whole Body Deo Anti-Friction Stick helps keep odour at bay and prevent friction and chafing, making it the perfect option if you’re working out or getting your steps in. Try Dove Whole Body Deodorant Cooling Spray to feel instantly fresh and keep you odour-free for 72 hours.

Whichever you choose, all of our whole body deodorants are dermatologist-tested and infused with skin-loving ingredients to keep you feeling hydrated and nourished, all-over. And if that wasn’t enough of a perk, there are multiple fresh scents to choose from, like creamy coconut and vanilla or refreshing raspberry and rose.

How to use whole body deodorant

Wondering how to apply whole body deodorant? It’s important to prepare your skin properly to get the most out of it and keep you feeling as fresh as possible. Exactly how to apply will vary between products and are outlined on packaging, but here are our top tips on how to use whole body deodorant:

1

Make sure your skin is clean and dry

Just like when you apply antiperspirant to your underarms, whole body deodorant works best when applied to clean, dry skin. The perfect time to use it? Just after you’ve dried off from a shower.
2

Let it dry before putting on clothes

While our whole body deodorant is invisible, it’s best to let it dry before you cover it with clothing. This will help you feel fresher for longer.
3

Don’t apply too much at once

A little goes a long way when it comes to Dove Whole Body Deodorants, so start off by applying a thin layer (if you’re using the stick), a pea-sized amount (of the cream) or a quick spray. You can always add more if needed!

Ready to enter your whole body deodorant era? Full-body freshness awaits.
