Beauty Hacks: 13 Extraordinary Uses for Deodorant

We all use it. We all have it around our bathroom counters and it’s a way bigger investment than you might think.

 

Stick deodorant has other extraordinary uses that you will find impressive and would have never crossed your mind before. 

 

Here are 13 of the best uses for this beauty product we found around the internet, and we’re pretty much sure there’s more than that.

 

1. To prevent blisters: Having trouble breaking in those new shoes? Rub clear deodorant on your heels or anywhere in your foot where the shoe hurts you as you walk. 

 

2. Don’t sweat during your blow-dry: Apply deodorant to the back of your neck before blow-drying hair to avoid sweating. 

 

3. Get rid of oily skin: If you’re having trouble keeping your T-zone from looking oily, rub some deodorant before applying makeup and problem gone!

 

4. The perfect aftershave: Say goodbye to bikini line razor bumps. Apply to the area right after shaving to prevent those annoying red buns and any irritation. 

 

5. Prevent from bra chafing: For those lucky gals with large cleavage, perspiration can accumulate beneath the brassiere leading to bacteria funk and skin tags. Make sure to apply a good antiperspirant underneath your knockers before slipping on a bra. This way, chafing can be prevented while keeping the girls sweet-smelling. 

 

6. Kills the mosquito-bite itch: We are all annoyed by now by the amount of mosquitoes that keep biting and giving us that endless itch. Here’s a solution: swipe the stick of deodorant on bug bites, or the affected area a few times a day or whenever it feels itchy. It works wonders!

 

7. No more stinky feet: This is especially useful for the little ones in our life. Swipe a stick deodorant to the bottoms of their feet before going to bed, and watch it ward off odor and wetness during the day. Deodorant stops wetness and odor in porous places in our bodies and our feet are one of those places. Of course, the deodorant will make the feet slithery at first until they absorb the product, so make sure to put socks on them after application. 

 

8. Fit on those skinny jeans!: Yes, it is what is sounds like. Sounds funny, but hey — those skinny leather-like leggings are a challenge to put on! Well here’s your solution. Swipe your legs with deodorant. It will actually lubricate or “grease” your legs right into your favorite pair of skinny jeans or leggings. 

 

9. A solution for zits: Stick deodorant is known for its drying agent, therefore you can use this to try and dry out your zits, fever blisters and cold sores. Remember: designate a different deodorant for this use other than the one you use for your armpits.

 

10. Nervous? Don’t let your hands show: Stop your hands from sweating in those nail-bitting scenarios. Swipe unscented deodorant over the palm of your hands to keep them dry.

 

11. No more runny makeup: Apply deodorant for your face (a new stick of course) and then apply your makeup for a look that doesn’t run. 

 

Bonus; 

 

12. Got those white deodorant stains on your clothes? Get rid of them with baby wipes.

 

And around the home!

 

13. Mend that squeaking door: Rub a stick of deodorant on your door hinge to get rid of that squeaky noise sound.
