Deodorants: You may already use one on the daily — maybe you're wearing one right now! — but when it comes to choosing one, it has to do one thing, and do it well: prevent you from smelling funky. In recent years, natural and aluminum-free options have proliferated in popularity, as have stronger, clinical-strength antiperspirants for those who deal with excess sweating on a regular basis.
"Both deodorants and antiperspirants are suitable for everyday use, depending on what benefits you are looking for," New York City-based board-certified dermatologist Rosemarie Ingleton tells Allure.
Some might even turn to both for different situations. "If you are looking for all-day-freshness and odor protection, but don't necessarily need or want the sweat protection that a harder-working antiperspirant provides, you may choose to use a deodorant product," she says. But if you're concerned about staying dry, then Ingleton recommends you look for an antiperspirant.
