Hi all,
When I was browsing through the net, I happened to read an article about applying perfumes. In one point it was mentioned that, it is not good for the skin when it is directly applied by perfume. i.e. The skin should not be directly exposed to perfumes.
If that is the case, there are certain deodrants that we are appliying directly on the skin? Is that ok? Could you please advise?

It depends on the texture of your skin. Some persons cannot but deodrant on their skin directly because there will be side effect but if this is not the norm for you then I would not advise against it. There are also issue with materials as well because there are some that if you rub it on the material it will never wash out. So again there are so many negatives that it is best that one continue to do what he/she is comfortable with.

Hi,
Ok,for most perfumes.
Only donot use perfumes(liquid/solid)just before going to the Sun.The essential oils with UV rays cause discoloration of skin,which is permanent!

i had heard of that years ago, about applying deodorant directly on the skin.
it says that deodorant should be use 2 to three feet away from the user, and also they say that it is not advisable to use deodorant for damage skin or with wounds.
but there are some deodorants that can be applied directly onto the skin, those herbal deodorants.
