It’s perfectly normal (and expected) to smell a little ripe when temperatures are high — especially in all those bodily cracks and crevices where sweat and bacteria can collect. Luckily, there’s an all-over body deodorant cream that promises to not only neutralizes the funkiest of funks for up to 72 hours, but may also improves the look and health of the skin. Lume has quickly become one of the most recognized names in the world of aluminum-free deodorants, and its impressive reputation for fighting odor is unanimously corroborated by many shoppers who claim to have tried it. This hypoallergenic and cream-like formula is also formulated without the use of aluminum, parabens or potentially irritating baking soda. Instead, Lume’s All Over body deodorant uses a blend of maranta arundinacea root powder and tapioca starch to help absorb sweat and minimize chafing, while mandelic acid works to block odor before it begins thanks to its ability to lower the skin’s pH to create an environment where bacteria-causing odor can’t survive. But that’s not the only benefit of mandelic acid. A natural exfoliator, mandelic acid can be effective for brightening and evening skin tone, according to experts HuffPost has previously consulted, so those pesky dark spots under your arms and in your groin may become less visible. One reviewer who claimed to have dealt with persistent postpartum body odor and dark armpits, wrote that Lume visibly lightened their underarms and eliminated their smell issue. This formula also has key ingredients that improve skin quality overall, such as nourishing vitamin E, soothing aloe and a combination of vitamin B5 and glycerides, which draw moisture into the skin. Available in several scents, including an unscented option, you can apply Lume virtually anywhere, from butt cracks to in between toes, to under the boobs or folds between the thighs. Just apply and rub in a pea-sized amount to your desired area after the shower and ward off odor before it even begins.

Worth every penny. First of all, I want to bring up a point several others made in their reviews- DON’T BE ALARMED BY THE ODD SMELL of the product before you put it on- it definitely has a weird ‘funk’ to it besides the named scent, but it dissipates almost instantly once you put it on to a very light, clean, almost imperceptible scent. More importantly, hours and hours and hours of sweating later (remember, this is NOT an antipersperant) you will smell ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. As others have also stated, boob sweat is real, and has a funk all its own- a little swipe of this under the boobs after your shower and you will never smell it again. Period. Ditto for any and all other areas of the body.” — “L” (This review has been edited for length.

I was honestly ready to go back to aluminum just from being tired of struggling with the stink & always being self-conscious :’( well! decided to try Lume’s invisible cream & wow! i’m so so happy with it. The tangerine smell is nice & added benefit is that my armpits got lighter!!!! i’ve really struggled with dark armpits ever since having my smell issue.. not sure if it was caused by using a diy coconut oil & baking soda mixture or my aggressive scrubbing trying to get rid of the smell but man, i don’t feel so embarrassed to lift my arms in the air or hug someone or wear a tank top. worth every penny!!!!!i will say, the only concerning thing is that there’s a warning in the back to limit sun exposure when using this product AND for a week afterwards idk if it means prolonged sun exposure or sun bathing exposing your pits? summer just started so i guess i’ll find out will be back to update my review if i have any issues.” — Cesar Ortega If you want to shop for more sweat-fighting options that can keep you dry and comfortable in your nether regions, take a look at this small collection of products below: AmazonA moisture-control body powderThis scented and talc-free body powder by Gold Bond, which was a sweating solution product previously recommended to HuffPost by a dermatologist, uses a triple-action formula to help absorb moisture, keep you cool and refreshed, and prevent odor.
