I used to feel like I had to shave Every. Single. Day. Sometimes twice a day if I wanted to feel super smooth for an afternoon beach session or date night. I swear that sometimes right after I shaved, if I got the shivers, I could feel those freshly shorn hair pop a new ⅛ inch out again.

It’s 12:30 a.m. and you’re still awake. Why? Work is finished. Dinner was over a long time ago. Kids are asleep. You’re dead tired, but you’re just gonna watch “one more” episode of that show you’ve already seen. And then scroll through IG — “just for a second.”

My secret weapon? Vitamin C.

Fun fact: Sweat doesn’t stink. It’s actually odorless until it combines with bacteria living in your armpits.
“The smell comes from normally present bacteria breaking down sweat and body secretions,” explains Barry Goldman, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist in Manhattan.
So what’s your best defense against that unpleasant body odor — deodorant or antiperspirant?
Here’s what you need to know about how each product works, key ingredients, and how to choose the right product for you.
