2
The right distance.For perfect aerosol application, there’s a golden distance for spritzing – you should hold the can approximately 15cm from your underarm as you spray it (if you’re lacking a ruler, that’s about halfway between your underarm and your elbow)
3
A short, sharp spray.With an aerosol you can determine how much deodorant to apply with the length of your sprays. Our advice? No need to spray until you’re hidden in a cloud – two seconds on each underarm will do the job, which is essentially a short, sharp spray
4
Roll with it.With roll-on deodorant, the clue’s in the name: simply roll your deodorant – like our Original Antiperspirant Roll-on – over each underarm a couple of times so you get good, even coverage
5
Sweep on your stick.If a stick is your weapon of choice, our Original Antiperspirant Stick is a classic. Twist the base of the stick to dispense the product, and sweep two-to-three strokes over each underarm
6
Avoid white marks.Leave as much time between applying your deodorant and getting dressed as you can – finding white deodorant marks on your little black dress when it’s too late to change is not an enjoyable experience
