Why Aren't You Using A Deodorant Everyday?

We live in a hot and humid country, balmy at best. Our summers are laced with heat waves and life in a city is more life inside a furnace. Perspiration is the name of the game, and we’re all losing it by a mile. The vibe is sweaty, and we’ve got no other options but to endure it. In such a country, it should be quite the norm, but do you realise how many men are still not using a deodorant?

One short ride in a crowded public transport or even a walk in a marketplace or mall would tell you just how many people are going about their lives without any kind of concern for their odour. And that’s become a matter of great concern to us, those around them. Especially since the issue can be resolved rather easily!

All it takes is using a good deodorant on a daily basis, and you won’t have to thrust upon other that foul, sweat-induced stench that’s unfortunately rather common amongst people. Plus, deodorants are easy to use, portable enough to be carried with you everywhere you go, and aren’t that expensive either. Which is why it begs to be asked – why aren’t you using them often enough?

Benefits of Using a Deodorant

Not that these need to be listed out but apparently, such is the nature of my profession!  

Here are some common benefits that should coerce you enough into start using a deodorant right away, if you aren’t already using it.

• Deodorants mask and/or neutralise the smell of sweat 
  

• Thanks to the presence of antiperspirants in them, deodorants can also reduce sweating 
  

• They are also great for keeping your underarm area clean and bacteria free 
  

• Even rashes, irritation and skin infection in the underarm area can be avoided with regular usage of deodorants 
  

Different Kinds of Deodorants

Since we’re truly getting down to the basics, might as well talk about this as well, isn’t it? Deodorants are essentially three different kinds, and you can choose one basis your usage type or whatever else is your vibe. Frankly, who cares as long as you’re using a deodorant!

Stick deodorants are, well, shaped like a stick. These are essentially solid in form and a great portable option for when you’re on the move. Spray ones have a mist-like texture, and you could confuse them with a perfume even though both have totally different purposes. Roll-ons are essentially liquid deodorants packed inside a roller ball for easy population and also happen to be one of the most popular and preferred kind of deodorants.

Which are the best deodorants for men?

Now that you’ve decided to use a deodorant (hopefully!), it’s time for the million-dollar question – which deodorant(s) should you try?

The simple answer is literally any deodorant that does the job. And an even better answer would be any one from the list that we’ve put together. They’re all incredibly efficient and each one comes at a different price point so there’s an option for every budget.
