The best new deodorants to try before sweaty summer days come into full effect

With summer on the horizon, it’s time to start pulling out those cute crop tops, daytime dresses, and comfy T-shirts. But while a warm wardrobe is exciting to plan, the impending season also means more opportunity to sweat. With rising temperatures comes the task of finding the best deodorant that keeps your pits dry and free of stench. Don’t worry, though, we’ve got you covered.

If you aren’t exactly sure about what kind of deodorants to try, cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Sonam Yadav, M.D., suggests looking for deodorants that nourish and protect the skin on your underarms while keeping you fresh at the same time.

“The perfect deodorant is safe and effective,” Dr. Yadav told HelloGiggles. “Be sure to look out for fresh and organic ingredients that nourish and protect the skin.” While it’s tempting to mask nauseating odors with strong deodorants, Dr. Yadav suggests looking for products containing more natural scents like soothing lavender, rose, and vanilla.

Now that you have helpful dermatologist-approved advice under your belt, we’ve got 19 deodorants to try before summer comes along, including everything from traditional sticks to pads.
