How to prevent armpit smells and care for underarms

Antiperspirant is a lifesaver – it minimises armpit smells by reducing the amount we sweat, while caring for and protecting our delicate underarm skin. Try a roll-on deodorant like our Original Antiperspirant Deodorant Roll-on is a great choice when it comes to combatting these issues.

Should you decide to shave your underarms, it can actually help to prevent odour, since the hair traps sweat, providing ideal conditions for bacteria to multiply 

Wear clothes made from natural fibres, such as wool, silk or cotton: they allow your skin to breathe, letting sweat evaporate faster, so smelly armpits are less likely to develop.

Add antiperspirant to your bedtime routine – you don’t sweat so much during the night, so it’ll give it more time to absorb into your skin. Try Go Fresh Cucumber & Green Tea Antiperspirant Deodorant Roll-on – you’ll wake up with beautifully fresh smelling underarms…

Some foods – especially spicy ones – can contribute to underarm odour because their scent can be carried in your sweat. Try cutting out things like curry or garlic (sometimes even red meat) and see if there’s any improvement.

This might be an obvious one, but make sure you remember to top up your deodorant before doing anything that’s going to get you working up a sweat, whether it’s hitting the gym or enduring the bus at rush hour
