Hi Ladies, today I am going to review the effect of two popular deodorants. The use of deodorants is very important, especially if you are going out for a function or maybe it’s just your routine day at work. A deo helps mask the bad underarm odour that is caused by the bacteria that multiplies as a result of the moisture in the sweat.
Recently, there has been a lot of talk about these new deos that not only fights bad odour effectively but also has some whitening effect on the underarms.
Let’s have a look at two of the most talked names in whitening deodorants.
Nivea Whitening Deo
What the brand claims:
- Visibly fairer underarms
- 48hr reliable protection
- Apply to underarm
Products Pros:
- Contains Licorice- that is knows as a natural whitening agent
- Contains Witch Hazel – an astringent i.e. it closes skin pores and prevent excessive sweating
- Has a nice pleasant fragrance
- Does not case irritation on contact with the skin
- Dries quickly when sprayed, doesn’t leave any white patch behind.
