    Invisible dry.

    First, you’ll need the right deodorant. Try Dove Invisible Dry Antiperspirant Deodorant. Not only does it contain our unique ¼ moisturising cream so your underarms are cared for and beautiful, but it’s also proven to leave no white marks on 100 colours.

    Folding tricks.

    A good trick for avoiding marks altogether is to fold over the hem of the garment before slipping it on – if you do catch a mark, it’ll be on the inside of the fabric, so just unroll the fold and your LBD will come out unscathed. Genius

    Let it dry.

    The most basic piece of advice? Wait for it to dry before getting dressed. If you can, apply your deodorant first and save getting dressed till the last minute to minimise the risk of white-mark catastrophe, especially when you’re thinking about how to avoid deodorant marks.

    Switch up your routine.

    Then again, depending on the cut of your clothes, you might find it better to get dressed before putting on your deodorant. This way you already know where to apply it to avoid getting it on your outfit and potentially leaving deodorant marks.

    Use tights.

    Arrived at the party of the year only to realise that your deodorant has also made a splash – all over your party dress? Just head off to the bathroom, whip off your tights, and use them to rub the marks away – the nylon fibres help diffuse the deodorant stains.

    Be prepared.

    Keep a pack of baby wipes in your handbag in case of emergencies (i.e. liberal deodorant spraying in the office bathroom). Dab and pat the mark away but don’t rub, or you might make it worse.
