1
Shake it.

Using an aerosol like our Original Clean Dry Spray Antiperspirant? Give it a good hard shake first to make sure all the ingredients are mixed together before you spray it
2
The right distance.

For perfect dry spray antiperspirant application, there’s a golden distance for spritzing – you should hold the can approximately 6in from your underarm as you spray it (if you’re lacking a ruler, that’s about halfway between your underarm and your elbow)
3
A short, sharp spray.

With a dry spray antiperspirant you can determine how much deodorant to apply with the length of your sprays. Our advice? No need to spray until you’re hidden in a cloud. A short, sharp spray under each arm will do the job.
4
Sweep on your stick.

If a stick is your weapon of choice, our Advanced Antiperspirant Deodorant Stick Original Clean is gentle and soothing. Twist the base of the stick to dispense the product, and sweep two-to-three strokes over each underarm
