What to Do When You Forget to Put on Deodorant

Sniff, sniff: You just failed your midday armpit check. But you’re at work. And you have a meeting. And the room is 86 degrees. Don’t sweat it. You can use... HAND SANITIZER. Here’s how:

Hand sanitizer (fragrance-free is ideal, but any kind works).

Rub a dollop onto each armpit. Give it a few seconds to air dry.

Body odor is caused by bacteria. Rubbing alcohol (a main ingredient in hand sanitizer) kills bacteria.

The alcohol also helps evaporate sweat. Bye bye, smelly pit stains.
