What is gel deodorant?
The title is self explanatory, it’s a deodorant that comes as a gel that you rub onto your underarms. Usually it is in a small plastic container with a circular knob at the bottom which you can twist to release the deodorant gel.
How to apply deodorant gel?
Here’s our quick explanation for applying deodorant gel:
- Make sure your underarms are dry
- Remove the plastic cap from the top of the container
- Twice the knob at the bottom of the container until the deodorant gel is stick out outside of the container
- Run the deodorant gel four of five times on your under arm area firmly
- Put the cap back onto the deodorant gel and go about your day
Gel Deodorant vs Solid Deodorant
It’s a long time debate between the two deodorants, it actually comes down to personal preference and there’s no clear winner between gel and solid deodorant. One benefit of gel deodorant is that it’s clear and won’t leave any residue or marks on your clothes. Both will get the job done and there’s the clear difference between the two.
How to Remove Gel Deodorant Stains From Clothes?
While gel deodorant generally stains far less then solid deodorants, it happens but rarely. Here’s how to remove gel deodorant stains from clothes.
- Grind two Aspirin and mix them into a ½ cup of water.
- Pour the aspirin mixture onto the stained areas and let it sit for two to three hours
- Add one cup of white vinegar to your washing machine
- Put the clothing with the gel deodorant stain in the washing machine as you usually would.
That simple four step process is how you remove any gel deodorant stains your clothes quickly and easily without any negative effects to the clothing itself.
Why does gel deodorant give me a rash?
Rarely it happens when a rash begins forming after using gel deodorant. The reasons are usually either that the person suffers from sensitive skin, they’ve over applied the deodorant, or are allergic to one of the ingredients within the deodorant. Most commonly it’s over applying the gel deodorant that causes a rash or skin irritation. We recommend giving three or four wipes of the gel deodorant and no more.
How Long Does Deodorant Gel Last?
Generally deodorant gel will last 24 hours from first application, it’s best to check with the product description to find out how long that specific gel will last. Deodorant gel’s do have a due date generally of 6 to 12 months before expiring and losing their effect.
