Do you want your man to smell fresh? Then get deodorant for him. However, you do not just get any deodorant. You need to choose the best deodorants for him.
Deodorant works by eliminating the bacteria found in sweat to reduce odor. It is suitable for those who want to control odor. If you sweat too much, then consider using an antiperspirant. You may also find a combo of deodorant and antiperspirant.
Here is what you should consider when choosing the best deodorant for your man.
The ingredients
A good deodorant should have ingredients that will not cause irritations and harsh reaction to the skin. Choose one that contains natural ingredients instead of chemical compounds.
Avoid deodorants made using harsh ingredients such as alcohol, aluminum, and parabens and opt for those with natural ingredients such as sunflower oil, pumpkin oil, sugar, beeswax, and coconut oil.
A deodorant made using natural ingredients can be used on any skin types including sensitive skin. You won’t have to worry about your man itching after using it.
Effectiveness
The purpose of a deodorant is to rid of the sweaty smell from your man so that he can smell fresh. Choose a deodorant that effectively does this.
It should last long, at least the whole day without fading so that he doesn’t need to keep reapplying. Deodorants that last long are indicated whether they protect for 24 hours, 48 hours or 7 days.
No residue
The best deodorant should not leave any residue, streaks or marks on the clothes. Deodorants with such characteristics are clear.
However, some solid deodorants may end up getting on the clothes.
The smell
Choose a smell that suits your man. Does he prefer a strong scent or a mild one? Take note not to choose a feminine smell. You want your man to smell manly. When choosing, avoid deodorants that don’t indicate whether it is for men or women since you could end up with female scented one.
Remember that there are unisex deodorants with a scent that can suit both male and female. So, check the smell before ruling it out.
Note that some fragrances present in deodorants can cause skin irritation. Just like with any other skincare product, the rule of thumb is to test the deodorant on a small part of your skin to see if it will irritate.
Your Man’s Skin Type
Considering your man’s skin type is important in choosing the best deodorant. You don’t want him to end up with irritated skin.
Some men can use deodorants made using inorganic ingredients without irritation. However, those with sensitive skin need to use hypoallergenic deodorants.
The form
Does your man prefer a roll-on, stick or solid deodorant? You may have noted his preference from the previous purchases or you could ask him. Choose the one that will be easy for him to apply.
Remember that solid deodorants may get on clothes; roll-ons have a wet feeling while sprays tend to be more expensive.

The price
Can he afford the deodorant in the long-term or he will end up changing because the price is too high? Choose a deodorant that your man can afford to buy after the initial one is finished.
