Discovering the Power of Scents

For most of my life, I never really cared about scents. But as I got older, I started to appreciate the power of a good fragrance. Now, I'm all about layering perfumes, hair products, and body lotions to create my own unique scent. And recently, I've discovered a game-changing addition to my routine: deodorant layering.

Why Deodorant Layering?

After switching to natural deodorants a few years ago, I realized that while they kept me smelling fresh, they didn't fully stop me from sweating. That's when I learned the difference between deodorants and antiperspirants. Deodorants eliminate odor, while antiperspirants prevent sweat. Most natural deodorants don't contain the ingredients that stop sweat, so I decided to switch back to antiperspirants.

The Scent Dilemma

But here's the problem: I couldn't find an antiperspirant with a scent I loved. That's when I had a lightbulb moment. Why not layer my favorite natural deodorant on top of the antiperspirant? Natural deodorants often have incredible scents that stand out, so why not use them to enhance my fragrance game?

How to Deodorant Layer

The process is simple. First, I apply an antiperspirant like Dove Dry Spray Invisible to prevent sweating. Once it dries, I follow up with a natural deodorant like Nez Workout Sesh. The antiperspirant keeps me dry, while the natural deodorant adds a delicious scent. I even keep a travel-sized Nez for easy re-application on the go.

When to Deodorant Layer

I reserve deodorant layering for special occasions or when I want to make sure I smell my best. If I know I won't be sweating much or if I'm wearing a tank top, a natural deodorant alone is sufficient. But if I'm going on a date or hitting the bars with friends, deodorant layering gives me that extra boost of confidence.

Final Thoughts

Yes, deodorant layering adds a few extra minutes to my routine and requires purchasing multiple products. But if I can invest in a multitude of products for my face, body, and hair, why not do the same for my armpits? Deodorant layering has become my secret weapon for smelling amazing, and I encourage you to give it a try too.
