Most guys don’t put too much thought into buying deodorant. Breezing through the expansive aisle at the big box store, they grab a familiar brand or the most striking packaging. But all those different formulas? They were essentially created to achieve different results. Which means you could be a lot less sweaty and smelly if you stock your bathroom with the right stick for you.
Heavy Sweater?
Try Degree Men Adrenaline Series ($4.99) which reacts to spikes in sweat-causing adrenaline and combats wetness with aluminum sesquichlorohydrate, a newer ingredient that’s much better tolerated by skin than the more traditional aluminum chloride.
Sensitive Skin?
Try the all natural Speick Deo Stick ($10.99). Made in Germany from organic ingredients, this deodorant (along with the brand’s shave stick and soap) has a cult following because it’s gentle on your skin and has a pleasant, masculine and long lasting scent.
Work Long Hours?
Try Dove Men+Care ($7.49) which promises to keep bad body odor at bay for up to 72 hours with one application. The long-lasting deodorant stick, made with skin-soothing moisturizer, has a subtle, clean scent that sticks around without being overpowering or competing with your cologne.
Hate the Feel of Deodorant?
Try Mitchum’s Advanced Gel Deodorant ($7.49 for two). Lightweight yet clinically proven to be effective at keeping you dry, this gel uses a proprietary quick-drying formula that glides onto skin and absorbs almost instantly. And it won’t leave any residue on your underarms or your clothes.
