I am not sure about you, but it finally feels like summer to me. The grass is green, the leaves are out, graduations are in full swing and mini skirts are all over the place! Its a beautiful thing!
With summer, comes the heat and humidity. And with that, comes sweat and I definitely have a sweating problem. I actually think it runs in my family. I get sweaty palms, sweaty feet and I absolutely get pit stains way more than I like to admit. I mean, I ruin a white shirt within in a week of wearing it! I am one of those people who goes for a walk outside and I have a wet shirt afterwards. I can blast the AC and still have pit stains. I am always looking for a good deodorant and anti-perspirant that will do the job and stop me from sweating so much. 
Dove was nice enough to send me some deodorant to try as part of their Dare to Bare campaign. I am happy to report it smells good and it works! Did you know? When underarm skin is irritated by shaving, it can respond by creating dark marks. Well, Dove’s deodorants work to reduce underarm redness and bumps so you can be confident all summer in your bikinis and tank tops!
I received the Dove Clinical Protection which helps restore underarm skin and reduces underarm wetness. This is exactly what I need and I can honestly say my sweaty armpits have definitely subsided!
This deodorant is really cool. You actually apply it before bed and it lasts for 24 hours. This is ideal for me, because I either forget to put deodorant on in the morning or get white residue all over my clothes. By putting it on before bed, I eliminate both those problems. Perfect!
I also received the Dove® Clear Tone™ Sheer Touch Deodorant which you put on in the morning (and throughout the day if your like me). This deodorant also moisturizes underarm skin to help your natural skin heal after sweating and shaving irritation. It goes on nicely and smells very fresh and clean. It absolutely did it’s job!
Besides using a great deodorant there are a couple other tricks I try to stick to feel more comfortable and confident throughout the summer months
- Wear Sunscreen. No matter what. We all know this is important for cancer prevention, but I also think it is important so you don’t burn and get uncomfortable peeling and exposing sensitive skin to bacteria and the sun.
- Shave with a sharp razor. There is nothing worse than razor burn or redness under your armpits. Both these Dove products help reduce the redness which is a huge plus. I find using a sharp razor also helps and it makes it so your hair doesn’t grow back quite as fast.
- Exfoliate. This removes the dead cells from your skin and reveals the live cells beneath which gives the skin a healthy glow. The dead cells can also clog your pores and cause unwanted breakouts.
I love summer. I love going to the beach. I love wearing fun sun dresses. And I really love products that help me feel comfortable baring it all!

As part of the DailyBuzz Healthy Living Program, I received free Clear Tone Deodorant and a stipend from Dove. However, my opinions are entirely my own.
