These simple and clever deodorant hacks will help you sweat less and feel your best in hot and humid Spring weather.

Apply stick deodorant on your face’s oily areas before or after your makeup application to give you a matte look. I hear this is a beauty hack that celebrities use so they don’t look shiny on the red carpet. Dove Advanced Care Revive Antiperspirant offers several scents to choose from.

Tend to have stinky feet? Spray deodorant on your sock-free feet to smell fresh and clean. I recommend the Dove Cool Essentials Dry Spray for women and the Dove Men + Care Dry Spray Sport Care for guys.

Sweaty under your hair and bra line? Apply deodorant in these places to keep sweating at bay. I would recommend using a clear deodorant for these areas. Degree Clinical Protection 5-in-1 antiperspirant offers a 48-hour prescription-strength sweat and odor protection that is still gentle on your skin.

It’s time to spring clean your grooming products! Switch up brands every few months to avoid your armpits getting immune to your deodorant.

Apply deodorant on a mosquito bite to relieve itching.

Do you cross your legs a lot throughout the day and notice sweat pouring out? Apply deodorant under your knees to avoid this!

Prone to blisters? Place deodorant on these areas to prevent or treat those potentially painful areas.

Upcycle your empty deodorant containers by removing the insides and replacing it as a place to hold money while traveling. Works best with clear deodorants.
