Applying spray deodorant may seem like a simple task, but it carries the risk of exacerbating allergic reactions, especially since spray deodorants can easily be inhaled. Following safety precautions and being mindful of your usage can help minimize inhalation risks.
Steps to Follow
Proper Application
Choose the right clothing. If you're not showering before applying deodorant, remove your shirt and any layers underneath to prevent spraying them accidentally. Keeping your clothes clean will also help monitor your deodorant usage.
Dry Your Skin Properly
After showering, ensure your skin is completely dry before applying deodorant. This allows the deodorant to penetrate your pores effectively and prevents interference from moisture. For antiperspirants, dry skin is crucial as it enables the aluminum to block sweat glands effectively.
Apply the Spray Deodorant
Shake the spray canister to activate the ingredients. Aim the nozzle at your underarm from a distance of about six inches. Press the nozzle firmly for one second, releasing a controlled burst of spray. Wait for the mist to settle before applying additional bursts if necessary.
Distribute the Deodorant Evenly
Consider Natural Alternatives
For those concerned about the potential health risks associated with aluminum in antiperspirants, consider switching to natural products containing mineral salts instead. Avoid high-zinc alternatives to prevent skin irritation.
