Would you ever consider doing a video about skincare for construction workers or people who work in the sun and sweat a lot? I'm a female construction worker and I find it difficult to deal with trying to reapply sunscreen when I don't have access to running water so my hands are covered in dirt and grime and honestly sometimes so is my face. Also just the sweat in the humid heat seems to exacerbate breakouts. I know this isn't the most common problem but figured I'd ask.
I would also appreciate a video like that! But I have a couple of tips in the meantime. I would in manufacturing w/o any ac. We are constantly covered in dust and paper fiber in a paper converting plant. I keep those individual Neutrogena face wipes in my lunch cooler so I can wipe down and reapply sunblock during breaks. The cold wipe feels great and wipes the grime/dirt off so ur not wiping dirt all around when u reapply sunblock. I also keep a couple of nitrile gloves in my pocket so I can reapply without worrying about how nasty my hand is when I touch my face. We keep the Equate brand SPF with a pump around so u can pump out on to ur gloved hand rather than getting ur hands all greasy. Plus it's only like 11ish dollars for a huge jug! Hard to operate machines with greasy hands!

Because our whole body is compose of certain bacteria in believe vaccines make certain bacterias resistant bcuz effects r microbiome . I feel like certain bacteria live in are armpits gland harmless until toxins that r not eliminated from body cause odor and if feel like bacteria on top are armpits turn foul bcuz of antiperspirant sweat that why some armpits produce stench
Your rec of good ol panoxyl has been a godsend for my two teenage children this summer. Yes this stuff is amazing for underarms!!!! Also great for skin folds and loose skin from weight loss to stay clean!
I'm going to be honest. I have had bad body odor for the majority of my life and it was very embarrassing. I first started hearing about using benzoyl peroxide and acids under your pits 2 years ago. I first started with benzoyl peroxide and it actually helped with reducing the bacteria under my pits hence no stinky pits. I was so happy. I stopped using it there because it would only last for a day maybe 2. What I use now is the ingrown hair wipes from first aid beauty. I use 1 pad (1 side on each pit), let it dry, then follow up with vanicream antiperspirant. I use the pads once every 2 weeks so that 30 day supply lasts me a long time. It ranges from 70-90 degrees where Im at, I work in a humid/hot work environment and I do not stink. I hope this helps someone.
For those who are doubtful about the feminine wash guidance, check out ob/gyn channels like Dr. Jennifer Lincoln (who has videos on what to use in that area and what not to use in that area). There's also ob/gyn Mama Doctor Jones.
Hello! I had written in one of your posts on Instagram that I had been getting contact dermatitis off of deodorant. I like aluminum, and I will say the natural deodorants are ROUGH. The baking soda really irritated my skin too. It was suggested from another doc (first one said try natural) that I try dove unscented antiperspirant and it’s incredible!!! So I’m in total agreeance that fragrance can be such a terrible irritant as well as natural deodorants!!
What worked best in my household for eliminating stinky feet was changing over to wool blend socks instead of cotton. They are breathable, naturally wicking, and odor proof. Smartwool, Darn Tough, and Sockwell socks, Love them!
I can't use aluminum antiperspirants because the glands swell up and I walk around with my arms out. So I'm happy for alternatives but be careful to rinse off benzoyl peroxide. It discolors some dyes in clothing. Found out the hard way.
I use Crystal Stick and find it to be very effective. I'm not a very smelly person though, but I really like it. I've been using it for years and it's hands down my favorite. Pro tip - I use it after I shower. I don't dry my underarms and just use the moisture that's already there to apply the stick. Afterwards, I rinse off the stick! That's very important because the stick can take on body odors over time, rendering it ineffective. So you really have to rinse it _afterwards!_
@@cherihibbs8368That's an interesting experience. I know sometimes it doesn't slide easily if my underarms aren't wet, but after I use it, there's not residue left. What do you mean by "glued them down"? Does the product leave a sticky residue for you after you use it?
Tried Panoxyl on my pits but I’ve always been so irritated by Benzoil Peroxide. Been personally finding success double washing with CeraVe foaming cleanser and Laroche Posay Lipikar wash
Has the panoxyl worked out for you? The benzoyl peroxide gave me the WORST irritation to my pits! No odor but it took hydrocortisone a few times daily for a week to get rid of this awful rash!
I developed allergies to anti-perspirants a long time ago, then fragranced deodorants followed. The "natural" products were somewhat irritating and did nothing to control odor. Nothing worse than a red, burning & itchy rash in the middle of summer. :-( Per your video a couple of years ago, I've been using Panoxyl in the shower which really helps and doesn't bother my sensitive skin, even after shaving. :)
Vanicream deodorant is the best for extremely sensitive skin. I'm severely allergic to the "paraben free " products and don't use fragrance skincare in pretty much all of my skincare.
I developed an allergy to my deodorant too. Her suggestions of panoxyl and the almay deodorant saved me! The itching caused by the fragrance allergy was unbearable.
Have been using the solid version of the crystal deodorant (looks like a giant rounded salt crystal, bc it is!) since 2007 bc my skin was getting irritated by fragrance. Have only had to buy it three times since then, each stick lasts for ever, which makes me happy bc so much less waste! It doesn't stop sweat at all, but if applied correctly it completely knocks out odor, love it!
benzoyl peroxide cleanser for deodorizing the underarms is such a helpful trick, i've been doing it (few times a week at most) for a couple years now thanks to you!
Me too. I also use it on my groin, and it has the same effect. No ingrown or irritated hairs as a bonus for both areas! Dr. Dray eliminating the funk, one video at a time. 👌🏼👏🏼
Looks like there is an entire army of Dr Dray viewers who are 'stanky free' because of her suggestions.. PanOxyl has been added to my arsenal, decades after any acne worries!
Hyperhydrosis is awful. Interferes with work and life. So embarrassing during an interview. Mine worst on scalp and groin. Currently on glycopyrolate. Helps somewhat but not without side effects- constipation, dry eyes, dry mouth. Hibiclens works amazing for me in the armpits!!
Hyperhydrosis here, I use deodorant all over my body. Specifically my groin/private area/inside of thighs, lower back, under chest, and sometimes upper back. I use the unscented vanicream one and it works wonders without irritation.
I'd be interested in an updated hyperhidrosis video. Mine is pretty mild, and isn't embarrassing as I know it can be for people with more severe cases, but it's still very annoying to deal with, especially if you're sensitive to texture differences like I am.
I use the Walgreens store brand version of Hibiclens fairly often since I have Hidradenitis Suppurativa. I get the bottle that has the foaming pump because the liquid is a pain to use (it just runs everywhere and you end up using more than you really need) but the foam is easy to use. The generic is also dye-free so it's less likely to stain your tub, shower curtain, etc.
At what point does anyone justify paying $10-$15 for deodorant? This inflation is absurd. Places like CVS and Walgreens is almost always 20-30% higher too.
PS Thanks for the benzo peroxide tips in another vid, and the Almay recc here. Benzo worked like a charm, i just do it 3x a week now, and almay sweatproofed my big interview today, with no irritation at all! Now i feel silly for not realizing it was fragrance-triggered. OP: For years, I used secret clinical until it turned on me very suddenly and caused unceasing, severe itching. I switched to natural for a few weeks, but ever since, any anti perspirants, even gentle + unscented, cause immediate irritation. Going to experiment with the bacteria killing regimen, while I still can. My current job is very much a natural deodorant kinda place and everyone is a little funky at the end of physical days, but mostly we're fine. But I need to find a new job with more hours and most of the options are not hippy dippy kinda places lol...thanks for the good ideas (and ideas for my young adult child's stocking, altho now I m realizing nope, cuz you shud never give unsolicited criticism as a gift, even if well intentioned, especially as a parent...Will casually drop items in basket during the Xmas week stock-up-the-kid Costco and Walmart trip...)
Yep! Hyperhydrosis here. I've currently started taking a medication to help with it and it's working pretty well! It doesn't get rid of it completely but as long as I stay on top of taking the medication on time everyday, it does work. Thank you so much for your videos Dr. Drayton! I've been watching since about 2017 and I've learned so much from you. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for this! As a vet tech at a large and small animal hospital, it's very easy for me to work up a sweat especially when dealing with large animals outside in the heat. And then have to continue to work and finish a shift while worrying what I must smell like. Lol! I need all the tips I can get. Happy Friday, Dr Dray!! I hope you, your sweet momma and little Tybee have a lovely weekend. 💜
Yes Chlorhexidine! I have suffered from HS for 38 years. I have some great tricks for HS folks and this soap. I am not confident enough to make my own video. I do wish there was more info available for teenage and 20 something folks, so they can get treatment earlier
Thank you Dr.Auchi for making my life healthy once again, I’m excited to be cure permanently from Tmau odor disease after suffering from it for the past few year. I think herbal medicine is the best cure to TMAU Odor disease. I recommend Dr.Auchi on UA-cam channel for effective herbal medicine for Tmau Odor disease….
I’ve been putting cerave renewing sa cream in my armpits every morning before I go to work as a morning stocker. I work hard and sweat like crazy, but because of putting the cream on my arm pits there is no smell! And I have no discomfort, I don’t mind sweating I just don’t want to stink! Lol plus I use hypochlorous spray if I can’t get home soon enough for a shower right after work.
The smell is what becomes the biggest problem, we start out thinking AH the sweat but oh no no no its OMFG the SMELL. Especially if you have hyperhydrosis. I have the SA cream, I bought it for my husband's bumpy skin caused by Sweat, I will try it!
Panoxyl has been great for my armpits! I've never been a crazy sweater or anything but it works for me! Literally just recommended it to my mom on the phone 15 minutes ago.
A lot of natural deodorants also contain baking soda which can be irritating depending on the amount/concentration. If you can tolerate baking soda, then it is a great deodorant, maybe necessitating reapplication after 4 hours which works well if you have an 8-hour workday.
Thank you for this video I just recently Found this and used the first aide antiseptic since I had it on hand and it works!!!!! I have dry skin but during the summer BO is real and this did not dry my skin or irritate me. I am in the south and it is getting to warm to be struggling with BO. Definitely feel more comfortable and feel my antiperspirant is working better!❤
I've found with feminine wash, using it all over the body and really focusing it in on the inner thighs, butt, under arms and pubic area as well as just the OUTSIDE of your lady bits gets the job done. I like to wash all over with feminine wash AFTER scrubbing my entire body with a good antibacterial bar soap (I prefer dove antibacterial). I don't like washing with heavy scents so the dove antibacterial is perfect, then go in with a feminine wash of your choice, I prefer nothing too intense. Especially not any fruity or floral scents. Just keep it simple.
OMG the prices scare me 😱 Those prices are insane in your country!!! 🤷♀ I live in the Netherlands and they are way cheaper over here 🙃 Thanks for explaining it so clearly darling!!! 💯🙏🏻🥳
Just started to watch this video, I’m in Florida right now and it’s so humid and sweaty here this is good video to watch. Dr Dray you always come through with the best video, perfect timing haha thanks Dr Dray 💙💛
About the sunscreen game… I got burned, I guess Miami was very slick, Dr dray what your recommendation for back burn??? And shoulder, I kind of forgot to reapply on my back and stayed in ocean for too long ❤️🔥
I'm weird. I always use a mild bar soap (like Ivory) on what I think of as the "hot spots" - armpits, groin, feet. Then I'll use a pouf with body wash all over my body for the smell and milder wash.
I just wanted to thank you for sharing your input. At least 3 times a year I suffer from underarm boils. Besides getting them lanced and using hot compress, I decided to use the 10 percent benzoyl peroxide. I just learned something new today. Thanks 👍
I suffer from hyperhidrosis since my teens years, now I’m in my 40’s. I started using Dermadry and it’s helped me a lot. My sweating has diminished a lot.
I suffer from hyperhidrossis. I use certain dri ( roll on) at night. and for my hands Carpe lotion. I also like to spray my feet with hypochlorous spray (It doesn't help with sweat but prevents you from smelling and refreshes feet when wearing sandals)
I use neutrogena salicylic acid body wash to help with my pits and my pits never felt and smell amazing especially since i shave my pits and down under as well
Since I couldn't find a benzoyl peroxide and it's a bit expensive, I tried anti-bacterial hand soap. Only in my underarms. It's still mild enough but it worked for me. The rest for my body is mild body wash 🤣 I'm so cheap. I don't care 😆
Thank you for this video Dr. Dray. For many reasons, I have to shower in the morning rather than the evening. What is the best approach with antiperspirant in this case? Thank you!
I've been using baking soda in my armpits after a shower and it keeps my body odor away for days. I haven't tried peroxide but will. I also like the clinical anti perspirants.
Oh please switch! Ive been on baking soda for years and just this past few months Ive developed sensitivity to it (developed rash smells, etc) apparently baking soda had thrown off the ph levels of my pits. Baking soda is never suitable for armpits at all!

I like Dial under my arms and near the skin folds in where my leg meets the private area. I get a rash that almost has a beer like odor. I use the honest company diaper rash cream there. It really helps. Right along the bikini line. I also wash that area with dial first during my shower. I gained some weight and the combination of the two products has definitely helped the skin rash. Zabsorb can be used along bikini line and under breasts if you sweat a lot. I was told this by a dermatologist. Enjoy your videos😀
The BEST of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m so allergic to deodorants/antiperspirants! Almay is my bae 💀 I order multiples at once!
Walgreens is a scam. Their “deals” are buy one get one %50 off but they sell their products for at least %50 more than they retail at pretty much any other retailer. I just checked and the Aveeno body wash is $17 at walgreen and $10 at Walmart for exact same product and amount. So even buy “buy one get %50 off” is still more expensive than purchasing two at a different retailer. I don’t understand how they stay in business. Oh, btw, you have to be a “member” to get any of their “deals”. No thanks.
I can't use the deodorant with aluminum and I can't use the doctor prescribed either, I use to break out and rash up and sadly not all natural deodorant help, some natural deodorants work better and are less irritating to my skin.
Dr Dray .....I wanna know YOUR advice on what products to use that will ACTUALLY REMOVE DEODORANT when washing your body .......for years I found it so extremely hard .....it seemed like no matter what.....there was always that slick feeling still under my arms even fresh out the shower .......I know what I use now and what works for me but what would YOU suggest??? (P.S. I have to use ALOT of deodorant and that makes it that much harder to completely wash it away )
I like the advice of an oil cleanser. I personally use a gentle exfoliating scrub. Yep, everyday. Don’t use too much pressure and damage the sensitive skin there…did that once. Follow up with whatever soap I’m using at the moment on a washcloth. I’ve never felt better about completely removing the deodorant from under my arms.
Glad to see some of you guys giving feedback on this. I personally find that castile soap with a good exfoliating wash cloth works GREAT too!!! And every other day I use a body scrub on there before washing with the castile soap.....See I KNEW I wasn't the only one that goes crazy putting on my deodorant 😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you Dr.Auchi for making my life healthy once again, I’m excited to be cure permanently from Tmau odor disease after suffering from it for the past few year. I think herbal medicine is the best cure to TMAU Odor disease. I recommend Dr.Auchi on UA-cam channel for effective herbal medicine for Tmau Odor disease…. 🤍
I wish i could just use BP wash on my underarms, since I already use it on my body, but it burns me so bad. So I've just been doing what you've said about applying aluminum antiperspirant at night, then rinse it off in the morning and follow up with aluminum-free. Works great
dr dray, you didn't mention the crystal deodorant that was right there! it's fragrance free and a good option for people that are looking for something "natural". i have hyperhydrosis under the armpits and the main thing that helps me is applying the certaindri roll-on at night and washing with fragrance free body wash (fragrances seem to make the smell worse) but i do find the crystal deodorant works pretty well too :) also i'm gonna buy that benzoyl peroxide bar soap, i don't like that panoxyl doesn't lather enough it's more like a cream
Hi, I also have hyperhydrosis and use the crystal, while it does help a tad.. I found it doesnt to all that much for sweating but for bacteria I like it. I Also use carbolic soap to help with the bacteria that is created.. I actually hate the "stress" sweat smell. It reminds me of a cat... THAT is worse than the actual sweating. I wash a few times a day. I found that most pit sticks make the sweating worse, or it seems to make any smell way worse. I am terrified of going the Botox route. I think there is a pill option available but the Drs. up here never mention anything...Maybe ask your dr. I fully empathize with you, it's been hell for me..since I was 12 and I am 35.
What helped me a lot was increase water half gallon daily and probiotic. I think my source of sweat was diabetes so once I got that under control it improved. I also use cereve body wash which I seen a extreme difference.
Hi Dr. Dray Thank you so much for always taking the time to make this videos.. I have so many questions that I don't even know where to start but today I just want to said thank you because, you your video are helping me to deal with my issues lol and my kids ❤

Hibiclens (chlorhexadine gluconate) is also good for HS and killing microbes in smelly areas. You’re supposed to lather with it and leave it in place for 2 minutes and then rinse.
@@Aurora-Sky Hidradenitis suppurativa (hi-drad-uh-NIE-tis sup-yoo-ruh-TIE-vuh) is a condition that causes small, painful lumps to form under the skin. The lumps usually develop in areas where your skin rubs together, such as the armpits, groin, buttocks and breasts.
I understand some GYNs suggest not using anything besides water down there but I’m seriously curious about how one would tackle sweaty odors. I know summertime can be hectic on sweatiness/musk in private areas. I feel like water would give you a gentle cleansing effect but I can’t see it cutting odor. If I use just water on my armpits, I will have an odor. Anyways, I’ve found Dr. Bronner’s to be a suitable option for my body. I don’t really deal with an odor but if I bake enough in the sun, I will get sweaty. Dr. Bronner’s does a good job at keeping me fresh longer.
I like good old Dial soap. I have a tendency to develop folliculitis in that area. My dermatologist recommended use of antibacterial soap like Dial. It has worked. I haven’t had an issue since I started using it
Use a plain unscented soap around the outside area and in the folds at the top of the legs. You just shouldn't put anything scented actually in the vagina area.
My armpits NEVER sweat, however I have such a battle against underarm odor. I also have a fragrance allergy which makes it 10x more difficult to find a product that works. I’ve tried peroxide and apple cider vinegar… no dice.
Wash your armpits with Asepxia soap with salicylic acid and during the day you can spray hypochlorous spray and just let it dry . You won't need to use deodorant or antiperspirant since you don't sweat too much.
Ive been using Neutrogena creamy SA face wash under arms and under skin folds and top of lower 1/2 - A few minutes let sit after applying with a wet washcloth-wipe off well- 8 hours later I’m checking - no odor..
about sweating. gosh how much I sweat even putting the antiperspirant at night. washing regularly and it is uuh. ESPECIALLY i noticed now as as back to the office. when I am arround colleagues my armpits become a fountain. not sure if it is about stress
Panoxyl has been wonderful for me since your suggested it. It's been working for me for almost a year. I use LUME deodorant and the combination leave me with no funk!
I've once used "natural" deodorant and got rashes (I know, so silly of me to believe that baking soda and essential oil is a good idea). Ever since then, my armpit that got the rash smells! I've never had bad odor from armpit in my life before! It's been two years now.
I have hyperhidrosis. I use the Almay sensitive skin as a base then I’ll use a dove for further protection and while it does work pretty good I’m still not comfortable when I’m out or around people. My inner thighs sweat like crazy. The V 🥵 I have to use products down there because it’s legit like armpits! 🤦🏻♀️ it’s truly crippling to live with.
Me too. What helped me is switching to cotton fabrics. Most clothes now a days are polyester which makes things worse. Read the labels and go for a higher cotton fabrics. Specially your underwear. It makes a huge difference, also don't be afraid to carry an extra pair with you. Just saying .
I suffer from excessive sweating. It's horrible and such an annoyance! I carry 2 handkerchiefs everytime I go out. One for the go and the other for the coming back home. One handkerchief isn't enough for me. I have a collection of handkerchiefs at home because I use too many. It's awful! 😢
I’m so sorry!! I also suffer from excessive sweating and have tried a million products that didn’t seem to work. Until I tried The Duradry system which gave me great results. By this time I had already ordered the Dermadry device, which is a little expensive but works!!! Try Duradry first which is less expensive, you won’t regret it 😉
I have been using Mitchum's unscented gel for men for several years. Mitchum does not make a fragrance free version for women, so I use the men's version. I assume the formulas are the same, it's just the marketing. I get it at Walmart in a 2-pack of the larger size for about $5 USD. That will last me about 6 months.
Phoenix resident here, and I'm about to go back to my job(s) as a school crossing guard and para next week. I've used the Panoxyl Hack for years now, and it has greatly reduced funky pits for me! Since we're on the subject of microbes, does anyone know if antimicrobial clothing is legit?
Micellar water wipes and SPF in a stick made for babies. Mineral sunscreens for the face are so much better for the skin. I work outdoors all day every day. I also wear a wide-brimmed hat; hard hat is not necessary for my garden design work. I've had BCCs removed from my shoulders, cheek, and lip edges and mineral SUNBLOCKS have been my go to for 10+ years. My skin looks better now than ever before.
I don't use antiperspirants, I use milk of magnesia and body powder over. It keeps me pretty dry and does not irritate me. Since milk of magnesia is liquid I put it in a jar with cloth on top just so some of the water evaporates and the result is more like a cream.
Hello Dr. Dray, thank you for the video. Dropping gems as always. For some people, myself included, why does our underarms start to adjust to the deodorant and then it starts making our pitts stink? Even when we scrubbbbbbbbb the heck out our underarms? I personally stopped using antiperspirants and natural deodorants. I switch between mineral rock, lemons and aloe Vera gel.
Very true I’m currently using a cream prescribed by my doctor to kill the fungus and I just use magnesium spray, because once I put on any kind of deo I start to smell musty after a few hours, I struggle so much
I discovered Hibiclense after a pre op prep. I noticed i didnt have odor despite not being able to shower for five days post op. It was the first time i used that soap. Its a little drying but would be good in the summer like once a week.
Dr.Dray. I've gone thru countless deodorants over the years with poor results and currently my new thing is I put The Ordinarys glycolic toner under my arms followed with probiotic deodorant. It's worked wonders for me. The 10% may be to strong for some tho. I'll try out some of the ones your recommended!
I sweat alot, like I'm often the only person visibly wiping my face on the street, on the metro, etc. I have used and loved Certain-dri but it has burned the skin under my underarms. So I had to stop using it but I love Uriage. Uriage isn't sold in the U.S. but it is sold in Europe. Amazon carries Uriage too.

Hi Dr. Dray, I love my hypochlorous spray, but I noticed it makes my armpits smell worse if I spray it when I’ve been sweating a lot (usually when I’ve been on the treadmill). Is that typical?
I use Almay antiperspirant because I can only find two that are truly fragrance free, it and Vanicream. The Almay is the better of the two but I wish there were other options. It would be great if it came in a solid form because the gel is messy and I honestly don't like the feel. I have gotten used to it more over the years but I'd still prefer a solid any day. It also doesn't last long, the one you picked up actually looked much fuller that what I end up with, the containers are usually only about ¼ full. Thank goodness it's not expensive.
@@coffeewithconnie the Vanicream that I tried was the solid. Other solid deodorants are solid but they're also soft and moist in the way of how they glid a smooth even layer onto the skin. The Vanicream solid was very dry and hard, I could even describe it as brittle. It didn't glid effortlessly across the skin leaving an even layer. It left small chunks on portions of my skin while completely skipping the rest.
What do you do if you still stink waking up from clinical antiperspirant!? 😢 I'm about to give up hope 😂 I don't feel I particularly sweat excessively. I also use the acne wash you suggested in the shower... I still stink! Whaaaa

Would you ever consider doing a video about skincare for construction workers or people who work in the sun and sweat a lot? I'm a female construction worker and I find it difficult to deal with trying to reapply sunscreen when I don't have access to running water so my hands are covered in dirt and grime and honestly sometimes so is my face. Also just the sweat in the humid heat seems to exacerbate breakouts. I know this isn't the most common problem but figured I'd ask.
I would also appreciate a video like that! But I have a couple of tips in the meantime. I would in manufacturing w/o any ac. We are constantly covered in dust and paper fiber in a paper converting plant. I keep those individual Neutrogena face wipes in my lunch cooler so I can wipe down and reapply sunblock during breaks. The cold wipe feels great and wipes the grime/dirt off so ur not wiping dirt all around when u reapply sunblock. I also keep a couple of nitrile gloves in my pocket so I can reapply without worrying about how nasty my hand is when I touch my face. We keep the Equate brand SPF with a pump around so u can pump out on to ur gloved hand rather than getting ur hands all greasy. Plus it's only like 11ish dollars for a huge jug! Hard to operate machines with greasy hands!
Great idea! Also maybe a sunscreen spray for your face at least
Use water wipes to clean your face and hands to reapply sunscreen. My husband works in construction too. He loves waterwipes.
Can you usen gaiters, face coverings, sunglasses? There's stones online that sell face coverings with UV protection.
Yasss 👏🏽 thisss. And like heat rash. I was going to ask this ha.

I'm going to be honest. I have had bad body odor for the majority of my life and it was very embarrassing. I first started hearing about using benzoyl peroxide and acids under your pits 2 years ago. I first started with benzoyl peroxide and it actually helped with reducing the bacteria under my pits hence no stinky pits. I was so happy. I stopped using it there because it would only last for a day maybe 2. What I use now is the ingrown hair wipes from first aid beauty. I use 1 pad (1 side on each pit), let it dry, then follow up with vanicream antiperspirant. I use the pads once every 2 weeks so that 30 day supply lasts me a long time. It ranges from 70-90 degrees where Im at, I work in a humid/hot work environment and I do not stink. I hope this helps someone.
Where do you by them
I’ll try anything at this point. Botox is expensive and surgery scares me so al I’m left with are creams, lotions deodorants to help what they can. 😭
Do you use Lume ? It’s amazing !
@@cwcg4991 thank you
@@Tamar-sz8ox I’ll give it try it helps with armpits
Thank you so much for covering this topic. Panoxyl has made a noticeable difference in odors and breakouts!
For those who are doubtful about the feminine wash guidance, check out ob/gyn channels like Dr. Jennifer Lincoln (who has videos on what to use in that area and what not to use in that area). There's also ob/gyn Mama Doctor Jones.
I recently tried Vagisil feminine wash
It is mild and is an odor blocker it works
Very well.
Hello! I had written in one of your posts on Instagram that I had been getting contact dermatitis off of deodorant. I like aluminum, and I will say the natural deodorants are ROUGH. The baking soda really irritated my skin too. It was suggested from another doc (first one said try natural) that I try dove unscented antiperspirant and it’s incredible!!! So I’m in total agreeance that fragrance can be such a terrible irritant as well as natural deodorants!!
I've found that antibacterial soap helps with the underarms too.
Native definitely caused me underarm irritation, and I never knew why until your video. Thank you!
What worked best in my household for eliminating stinky feet was changing over to wool blend socks instead of cotton. They are breathable, naturally wicking, and odor proof. Smartwool, Darn Tough, and Sockwell socks, Love them!
I love my darn tough sock 😁 ever since switching to wool socks I no longer get chilblains
Good to know. I always make sure i buy cotton but i will give these a try. Thanks for sharing.
Swear by wool socks!
Good to know, thank you!
This works! But also to keep nails short, to wash well in the shower morning and night, and to exfoliate so that skin isn’t being built up.
I can't use aluminum antiperspirants because the glands swell up and I walk around with my arms out. So I'm happy for alternatives but be careful to rinse off benzoyl peroxide. It discolors some dyes in clothing. Found out the hard way.
Yes, my poor towels 😪
I use Dial antibacterial bar and have been very happy with the results and it doesn't bleach!
I use Crystal Stick and find it to be very effective. I'm not a very smelly person though, but I really like it. I've been using it for years and it's hands down my favorite. Pro tip - I use it after I shower. I don't dry my underarms and just use the moisture that's already there to apply the stick. Afterwards, I rinse off the stick! That's very important because the stick can take on body odors over time, rendering it ineffective. So you really have to rinse it _afterwards!_
Thanks for tip..
I tried this but it was like glue on my arm pits.. what was i doing wrong?
@@cherihibbs8368 Glue? Try wetting the crystal before applying it. Just make sure you don't forget to rinse it afterwards!
@@GpD79 , I did wet it, I ran it under the faucet. If I hadn’t kept my arms up I think it would have glued them down.
@@cherihibbs8368That's an interesting experience. I know sometimes it doesn't slide easily if my underarms aren't wet, but after I use it, there's not residue left. What do you mean by "glued them down"? Does the product leave a sticky residue for you after you use it?
Tried Panoxyl on my pits but I’ve always been so irritated by Benzoil Peroxide. Been personally finding success double washing with CeraVe foaming cleanser and Laroche Posay Lipikar wash
Thanks for sharing this 👍🏼
Try the 2.5% strength. It’s made by the brand acne free
Has the panoxyl worked out for you? The benzoyl peroxide gave me the WORST irritation to my pits! No odor but it took hydrocortisone a few times daily for a week to get rid of this awful rash!
I developed allergies to anti-perspirants a long time ago, then fragranced deodorants followed. The "natural" products were somewhat irritating and did nothing to control odor. Nothing worse than a red, burning & itchy rash in the middle of summer. :-( Per your video a couple of years ago, I've been using Panoxyl in the shower which really helps and doesn't bother my sensitive skin, even after shaving. :)
Same thing happened to me. I use panoxyl and use vanicream deodorant now and I'm good to go! It's free of like everything
Vanicream deodorant is the best for extremely sensitive skin. I'm severely allergic to the "paraben free " products and don't use fragrance skincare in pretty much all of my skincare.
@@katydid5088 Yes, Vanicream makes a very good deodorant and is gentle on sensitive skin.
Same here😢
I developed an allergy to my deodorant too. Her suggestions of panoxyl and the almay deodorant saved me! The itching caused by the fragrance allergy was unbearable.
Have been using the solid version of the crystal deodorant (looks like a giant rounded salt crystal, bc it is!) since 2007 bc my skin was getting irritated by fragrance. Have only had to buy it three times since then, each stick lasts for ever, which makes me happy bc so much less waste! It doesn't stop sweat at all, but if applied correctly it completely knocks out odor, love it!
I also love it, I have been using it for years
I used one for years & it worked great! I have a sensitivity to aluminum chlorhydrate....so I avoid it like the plague.
Aren’t deodorant crystals made of potassium alum, a salt mineral that is a type of aluminum?
benzoyl peroxide cleanser for deodorizing the underarms is such a helpful trick, i've been doing it (few times a week at most) for a couple years now thanks to you!
Same here!
Same! Works like a charm ☺️
Me too. I also use it on my groin, and it has the same effect. No ingrown or irritated hairs as a bonus for both areas! Dr. Dray eliminating the funk, one video at a time. 👌🏼👏🏼
Looks like there is an entire army of Dr Dray viewers who are 'stanky free' because of her suggestions..
PanOxyl has been added to my arsenal, decades after any acne worries!
Not sure if you keep hair in your armpit, but if you do, do you find that it bleaches your hair? I don't want bleached pits. Lol
Hyperhydrosis is awful. Interferes with work and life. So embarrassing during an interview. Mine worst on scalp and groin. Currently on glycopyrolate. Helps somewhat but not without side effects- constipation, dry eyes, dry mouth.
Hibiclens works amazing for me in the armpits!!
Hyperhydrosis here, I use deodorant all over my body. Specifically my groin/private area/inside of thighs, lower back, under chest, and sometimes upper back. I use the unscented vanicream one and it works wonders without irritation.
Hi ! I'm hypetdrosis survivor the cream odor buster and antiperspirant causes infection down there
I'd be interested in an updated hyperhidrosis video. Mine is pretty mild, and isn't embarrassing as I know it can be for people with more severe cases, but it's still very annoying to deal with, especially if you're sensitive to texture differences like I am.
I use the Walgreens store brand version of Hibiclens fairly often since I have Hidradenitis Suppurativa. I get the bottle that has the foaming pump because the liquid is a pain to use (it just runs everywhere and you end up using more than you really need) but the foam is easy to use. The generic is also dye-free so it's less likely to stain your tub, shower curtain, etc.
Do u use it daily (twice a day)?
Acne pads or toner with salicylic acid also have worked for us. Stridex, Clearasil, Oxy or similar store brand.
How do you use them?
This is my current method since my clothes and sheets keep getting bleached with panoxl no matter how much i wash it out
Hi Dr. Dray. I use the Walgreens Acne Cleanser bar and have eliminated the need for deodorant, thanks to your good advice. Thank you.
At what point does anyone justify paying $10-$15 for deodorant? This inflation is absurd. Places like CVS and Walgreens is almost always 20-30% higher too.
it’s ridiculous! target and walmart tend to have cheaper prices tho
PS Thanks for the benzo peroxide tips in another vid, and the Almay recc here. Benzo worked like a charm, i just do it 3x a week now, and almay sweatproofed my big interview today, with no irritation at all! Now i feel silly for not realizing it was fragrance-triggered.
OP: For years, I used secret clinical until it turned on me very suddenly and caused unceasing, severe itching. I switched to natural for a few weeks, but ever since, any anti perspirants, even gentle + unscented, cause immediate irritation. Going to experiment with the bacteria killing regimen, while I still can. My current job is very much a natural deodorant kinda place and everyone is a little funky at the end of physical days, but mostly we're fine. But I need to find a new job with more hours and most of the options are not hippy dippy kinda places lol...thanks for the good ideas (and ideas for my young adult child's stocking, altho now I m realizing nope, cuz you shud never give unsolicited criticism as a gift, even if well intentioned, especially as a parent...Will casually drop items in basket during the Xmas week stock-up-the-kid Costco and Walmart trip...)
Yep! Hyperhydrosis here. I've currently started taking a medication to help with it and it's working pretty well! It doesn't get rid of it completely but as long as I stay on top of taking the medication on time everyday, it does work. Thank you so much for your videos Dr. Drayton! I've been watching since about 2017 and I've learned so much from you. Keep up the great work!
Make sure you stay hydrated those pills are drying
Thanks for this! As a vet tech at a large and small animal hospital, it's very easy for me to work up a sweat especially when dealing with large animals outside in the heat. And then have to continue to work and finish a shift while worrying what I must smell like. Lol! I need all the tips I can get. Happy Friday, Dr Dray!! I hope you, your sweet momma and little Tybee have a lovely weekend. 💜
Yes Chlorhexidine! I have suffered from HS for 38 years. I have some great tricks for HS folks and this soap. I am not confident enough to make my own video. I do wish there was more info available for teenage and 20 something folks, so they can get treatment earlier

I don’t have HS but certain Dri is the only brand that I feel works for me.
as someone with night sweats hearing u talk about how sweat is lessened at night had me like 😀?
Wow, your skin is just glowing here. Thank you for this content.
I’ve been putting cerave renewing sa cream in my armpits every morning before I go to work as a morning stocker. I work hard and sweat like crazy, but because of putting the cream on my arm pits there is no smell! And I have no discomfort, I don’t mind sweating I just don’t want to stink! Lol plus I use hypochlorous spray if I can’t get home soon enough for a shower right after work.
The smell is what becomes the biggest problem, we start out thinking AH the sweat but oh no no no its OMFG the SMELL. Especially if you have hyperhydrosis. I have the SA cream, I bought it for my husband's bumpy skin caused by Sweat, I will try it!
Where can i find Hypochlorous spray ?
@@luvjazmine241 I use the e11ement from amazon
Panoxyl has been great for my armpits! I've never been a crazy sweater or anything but it works for me! Literally just recommended it to my mom on the phone 15 minutes ago.
Can you say what's the percentage?
@@awaseyosetsu I started with 4% just in case and then went to 10%
A lot of natural deodorants also contain baking soda which can be irritating depending on the amount/concentration. If you can tolerate baking soda, then it is a great deodorant, maybe necessitating reapplication after 4 hours which works well if you have an 8-hour workday.
I felt attacked when she said "It's that time of year when you're really sweaty." LOL
Thank you for this video I just recently
Found this and used the first aide antiseptic since I had it on hand and it works!!!!! I have dry skin but during the summer BO is real and this did not dry my skin or irritate me. I am in the south and it is getting to warm to be struggling with BO. Definitely feel more comfortable and feel my antiperspirant is working better!❤
I've been using the Walgreens benzyl peroxide bar and it's working really well!
Facial hyperhydrosis is the WORST. Nose and upper lip just won’t quit. Keeping even waterproof sunscreen on is a constant battle. Gave up on makeup. 😑

Mine started after going on Accutane! Just in those areas you mentioned!

I've found with feminine wash, using it all over the body and really focusing it in on the inner thighs, butt, under arms and pubic area as well as just the OUTSIDE of your lady bits gets the job done. I like to wash all over with feminine wash AFTER scrubbing my entire body with a good antibacterial bar soap (I prefer dove antibacterial). I don't like washing with heavy scents so the dove antibacterial is perfect, then go in with a feminine wash of your choice, I prefer nothing too intense. Especially not any fruity or floral scents. Just keep it simple.
Same. We wash around and not inside it helps!
Using an antibacterial soap on your whole body is a terrible idea. You have a microbiome on your skin that you're obliterating
Anyone else have itchy armpits with an antiperspirant?
OMG the prices scare me 😱 Those prices are insane in your country!!! 🤷♀ I live in the Netherlands and they are way cheaper over here 🙃 Thanks for explaining it so clearly darling!!! 💯🙏🏻🥳

I'm weird. I always use a mild bar soap (like Ivory) on what I think of as the "hot spots" - armpits, groin, feet. Then I'll use a pouf with body wash all over my body for the smell and milder wash.
Dial Gold Bar Soap has been my go to for so long. It does what no deodorant/ body wash could
Yea the White dial bar been a holy grail 4 me
I just wanted to thank you for sharing your input. At least 3 times a year I suffer from underarm boils. Besides getting them lanced and using hot compress, I decided to use the 10 percent benzoyl peroxide. I just learned something new today. Thanks 👍

I use neutrogena salicylic acid body wash to help with my pits and my pits never felt and smell amazing especially since i shave my pits and down under as well
You know what works just as well and is much cheaper. Shower or bathe everyday, with soap and water.
Since I couldn't find a benzoyl peroxide and it's a bit expensive, I tried anti-bacterial hand soap. Only in my underarms. It's still mild enough but it worked for me. The rest for my body is mild body wash 🤣 I'm so cheap. I don't care 😆

Thank you for this video Dr. Dray. For many reasons, I have to shower in the morning rather than the evening. What is the best approach with antiperspirant in this case? Thank you!
I've been using baking soda in my armpits after a shower and it keeps my body odor away for days. I haven't tried peroxide but will. I also like the clinical anti perspirants.
Oh please switch! Ive been on baking soda for years and just this past few months Ive developed sensitivity to it (developed rash smells, etc) apparently baking soda had thrown off the ph levels of my pits. Baking soda is never suitable for armpits at all!

I like Dial under my arms and near the skin folds in where my leg meets the private area. I get a rash that almost has a beer like odor. I use the honest company diaper rash cream there. It really helps. Right along the bikini line. I also wash that area with dial first during my shower. I gained some weight and the combination of the two products has definitely helped the skin rash. Zabsorb can be used along bikini line and under breasts if you sweat a lot. I was told this by a dermatologist. Enjoy your videos😀

I’d like to know why armpits would suddenly start to stink even though no change in weather, hygiene or activity.
Walgreens is a scam. Their “deals” are buy one get one %50 off but they sell their products for at least %50 more than they retail at pretty much any other retailer. I just checked and the Aveeno body wash is $17 at walgreen and $10 at Walmart for exact same product and amount. So even buy “buy one get %50 off” is still more expensive than purchasing two at a different retailer. I don’t understand how they stay in business. Oh, btw, you have to be a “member” to get any of their “deals”. No thanks.
Yes I was noticing how expensive all the products were too!
First start with a good shower, scrub under your armpits, esp. between the folds of the armpit. Dry thoroughly before adding antiperspirant.
I can't use the deodorant with aluminum and I can't use the doctor prescribed either, I use to break out and rash up and sadly not all natural deodorant help, some natural deodorants work better and are less irritating to my skin.
Dr Dray .....I wanna know YOUR advice on what products to use that will ACTUALLY REMOVE DEODORANT when washing your body .......for years I found it so extremely hard .....it seemed like no matter what.....there was always that slick feeling still under my arms even fresh out the shower .......I know what I use now and what works for me but what would YOU suggest??? (P.S. I have to use ALOT of deodorant and that makes it that much harder to completely wash it away )
I wonder if you can use an oil cleanser?
I like the advice of an oil cleanser. I personally use a gentle exfoliating scrub. Yep, everyday. Don’t use too much pressure and damage the sensitive skin there…did that once. Follow up with whatever soap I’m using at the moment on a washcloth. I’ve never felt better about completely removing the deodorant from under my arms.
Glad to see some of you guys giving feedback on this. I personally find that castile soap with a good exfoliating wash cloth works GREAT too!!! And every other day I use a body scrub on there before washing with the castile soap.....See I KNEW I wasn't the only one that goes crazy putting on my deodorant 😂😂😂😂😂
@@YummyGummy77 this is what I do and I’ve had success for years!

I wish i could just use BP wash on my underarms, since I already use it on my body, but it burns me so bad. So I've just been doing what you've said about applying aluminum antiperspirant at night, then rinse it off in the morning and follow up with aluminum-free. Works great
dr dray, you didn't mention the crystal deodorant that was right there! it's fragrance free and a good option for people that are looking for something "natural". i have hyperhydrosis under the armpits and the main thing that helps me is applying the certaindri roll-on at night and washing with fragrance free body wash (fragrances seem to make the smell worse) but i do find the crystal deodorant works pretty well too :) also i'm gonna buy that benzoyl peroxide bar soap, i don't like that panoxyl doesn't lather enough it's more like a cream
Hi, I also have hyperhydrosis and use the crystal, while it does help a tad.. I found it doesnt to all that much for sweating but for bacteria I like it. I Also use carbolic soap to help with the bacteria that is created.. I actually hate the "stress" sweat smell. It reminds me of a cat... THAT is worse than the actual sweating. I wash a few times a day. I found that most pit sticks make the sweating worse, or it seems to make any smell way worse. I am terrified of going the Botox route. I think there is a pill option available but the Drs. up here never mention anything...Maybe ask your dr. I fully empathize with you, it's been hell for me..since I was 12 and I am 35.
What helped me a lot was increase water half gallon daily and probiotic. I think my source of sweat was diabetes so once I got that under control it improved. I also use cereve body wash which I seen a extreme difference.

Hibiclens (chlorhexadine gluconate) is also good for HS and killing microbes in smelly areas. You’re supposed to lather with it and leave it in place for 2 minutes and then rinse.
What does HS stand for?
@@Aurora-Sky Hidradenitis suppurativa (hi-drad-uh-NIE-tis sup-yoo-ruh-TIE-vuh) is a condition that causes small, painful lumps to form under the skin. The lumps usually develop in areas where your skin rubs together, such as the armpits, groin, buttocks and breasts.
Isn’t it bad to use regularly? Like it will kill the good germs?
Happy Friday, Dr. Dray 🤍🌸☀️
I understand some GYNs suggest not using anything besides water down there but I’m seriously curious about how one would tackle sweaty odors. I know summertime can be hectic on sweatiness/musk in private areas. I feel like water would give you a gentle cleansing effect but I can’t see it cutting odor. If I use just water on my armpits, I will have an odor. Anyways, I’ve found Dr. Bronner’s to be a suitable option for my body. I don’t really deal with an odor but if I bake enough in the sun, I will get sweaty. Dr. Bronner’s does a good job at keeping me fresh longer.
I like good old Dial soap. I have a tendency to develop folliculitis in that area. My dermatologist recommended use of antibacterial soap like Dial. It has worked. I haven’t had an issue since I started using it
I'd check ob/gyn channels like Dr. Jennifer Lincoln or Mama Doctor Jones.
Use a plain unscented soap around the outside area and in the folds at the top of the legs. You just shouldn't put anything scented actually in the vagina area.
@@noneofbusiness7739 yeah! I like Dial, too! I use it every now and then!
@@powderandpaint14 I think that’s best! I just take concern with only water lol.
My armpits NEVER sweat, however I have such a battle against underarm odor. I also have a fragrance allergy which makes it 10x more difficult to find a product that works. I’ve tried peroxide and apple cider vinegar… no dice.
I use Touch glycolic acid I found on Amazon. Very happy with it. Plus I’m odor free for a few days.
Wash your armpits with Asepxia soap with salicylic acid and during the day you can spray hypochlorous spray and just let it dry . You won't need to use deodorant or antiperspirant since you don't sweat too much.
Ive been using Neutrogena creamy SA face wash under arms and under skin folds and top of lower 1/2 - A few minutes let sit after applying with a wet washcloth-wipe off well- 8 hours later I’m checking - no odor..

@@TheSonjaxfactor There are also benzoyl peroxide leave on products. I guess it needs more time and lathering before you wash it off.
Very informative! I wish you posted this video sooner! I’ve been struggling this summer 😅😆
As my grandparents used to say, euphemistically, wash the "dark places".
I've once used "natural" deodorant and got rashes (I know, so silly of me to believe that baking soda and essential oil is a good idea). Ever since then, my armpit that got the rash smells! I've never had bad odor from armpit in my life before! It's been two years now.
Have you done something about it now or are you still struggling with the same problem?
Happy Friday! Interesting subject. Would using benzoil peroxide wipes before showering help alleviate body odor as well as the washes?
I have hyperhidrosis. I use the Almay sensitive skin as a base then I’ll use a dove for further protection and while it does work pretty good I’m still not comfortable when I’m out or around people. My inner thighs sweat like crazy. The V 🥵 I have to use products down there because it’s legit like armpits! 🤦🏻♀️ it’s truly crippling to live with.
Same! I sweat down there really bad too and my underwear will be wet from all the sweat.
Me too. What helped me is switching to cotton fabrics. Most clothes now a days are polyester which makes things worse. Read the labels and go for a higher cotton fabrics. Specially your underwear. It makes a huge difference, also don't be afraid to carry an extra pair with you. Just saying .

I have been using Mitchum's unscented gel for men for several years. Mitchum does not make a fragrance free version for women, so I use the men's version.

I don't use antiperspirants, I use milk of magnesia and body powder over. It keeps me pretty dry and does not irritate me. Since milk of magnesia is liquid I put it in a jar with cloth on top just so some of the water evaporates and the result is more like a cream.
Hello Dr. Dray, thank you for the video. Dropping gems as always. For some people, myself included, why does our underarms start to adjust to the deodorant and then it starts making our pitts stink? Even when we scrubbbbbbbbb the heck out our underarms?
I personally stopped using antiperspirants and natural deodorants. I switch between mineral rock, lemons and aloe Vera gel.
Very true I’m currently using a cream prescribed by my doctor to kill the fungus and I just use magnesium spray, because once I put on any kind of deo I start to smell musty after a few hours, I struggle so much
@@mayralopez8183 I’m sorry to hear that, i have to use antibacterial soap on my pits now and use salt spray
I discovered Hibiclense after a pre op prep. I noticed i didnt have odor despite not being able to shower for five days post op. It was the first time i used that soap. Its a little drying but would be good in the summer like once a week.
Omg I always hated natural deodorants bc I would nearly cry with the irritation. This makes so much sense now haha. Thanks!
Hi Dr. Dray! I was wondering what's your opinion on "internal deodorant" like chlorophyll, specifically the brand Body Mint.
Doesn't work
I too wonder about this. Maybe Dr. D will address it in a future video.
@@samm8250 Have you tried it?
I've tried it and it didn't work
Dr.Dray. I've gone thru countless deodorants over the years with poor results and currently my new thing is
I put The Ordinarys glycolic toner under my arms followed with probiotic deodorant. It's worked wonders for me.
The 10% may be to strong for some tho.
I'll try out some of the ones your recommended!
I was just about to ask about Glycolic Acid!
How often do you use the toner? And what is the brand of the deodorant?
@@justmeagain7 every other day usually.
I was literally just searching your past videos about this and refreshed the page to see this! Thank you!
I sweat alot, like I'm often the only person visibly wiping my face on the street, on the metro, etc. I have used and loved Certain-dri but it has burned the skin under my underarms. So I had to stop using it but I love Uriage. Uriage isn't sold in the U.S. but it is sold in Europe. Amazon carries Uriage too.
Thank you Dr.Auchi for making my life healthy once again, I’m excited to be cure permanently from Tmau odor disease after suffering from it for the past few year. I think herbal medicine is the best cure to TMAU Odor disease. I recommend Dr.Auchi on UA-cam channel for effective herbal medicine for Tmau Odor disease….
Hi Dr. Dray, I love my hypochlorous spray, but I noticed it makes my armpits smell worse if I spray it when I’ve been sweating a lot (usually when I’ve been on the treadmill). Is that typical?
I use Almay antiperspirant because I can only find two that are truly fragrance free, it and Vanicream. The Almay is the better of the two but I wish there were other options. It would be great if it came in a solid form because the gel is messy and I honestly don't like the feel. I have gotten used to it more over the years but I'd still prefer a solid any day. It also doesn't last long, the one you picked up actually looked much fuller that what I end up with, the containers are usually only about ¼ full. Thank goodness it's not expensive.
Vanicream has 2 formulas: the antiperspirant is in solid form and the deodorant is a gel. I agree, don't care much for the gel, feels kind of sticky.
Does the solid leave deodorant leave white streaks on your clothes? Thank you
I concur about the gel… it makes me feel sticky
@@helpfulnatural yea it’s sticky when it starts to dry down i agree
@@coffeewithconnie the Vanicream that I tried was the solid. Other solid deodorants are solid but they're also soft and moist in the way of how they glid a smooth even layer onto the skin. The Vanicream solid was very dry and hard, I could even describe it as brittle. It didn't glid effortlessly across the skin leaving an even layer. It left small chunks on portions of my skin while completely skipping the rest.
@@mkayradcliff Thank you for your reply.
Thank you for these videos. You mentioned 2 types of glands, sweat and apicrin (?). Thank you for tackling such a difficult problem.
Apocrine
What do you do if you still stink waking up from clinical antiperspirant!? 😢 I'm about to give up hope 😂 I don't feel I particularly sweat excessively. I also use the acne wash you suggested in the shower... I still stink! Whaaaa
