Deodorant and I have an interesting relationship. I have overactive sweat glands and I seem to sweat a lot. This has always been a slight annoyance that I could generally resolve by applying deodorant more than once a day. Then, after the birth of my youngest child, all that changed when I added sensitive skin to the equation. Applying deodorant too often started irritating my skin, and when I tried Degree Motion Sense deodorant, to see if it would work better than Suave or Dove brand deodorants, I broke out in a rash and had to go a couple of weeks without being able to wear deodorant at all. I then had a lucky break when, at about the same time, I got an opportunity through #Crowdtap to try Secret Clinical Strength® deodorant. I was very excited when the box arrived with my sample so I could see if this product would work better for me than those that had recently failed me.
I was excited to get started trying Secret Clinical Strength® right away. I read the packaging, and the instructions said to apply the product at night before bed, and I tried that, but since I shower in the morning, not at night, the deodorant would get washed off. So I switched to using it in the morning and it has worked wonders ever since.
There are two things that I really like about this product. The first one is that it works all day long. I can put it on in the morning and it is still working when I go to bed at night. Second, it doesn't irritate my skin. As part of being a smooth solid, it goes on a little bit more like a lotion than the typical dry deodorant, and Secret® has incorporated skin conditioners into the product so it soothes my skin while keeping my sweat at bay. There is one draw-back, and that is that I've found is that I still experience wetness when I exercise. But despite having a few minor sweat stains after a workout, the scent keeps going and I still smell great. So if it comes down to having a rash and no sweat (not fun at all!) or having a few minor sweat stains, but my skin is happy and I keep smelling fresh, I'll take a little bit of wetness and good smell any day.
Prior to this sample opportunity, I had learned through my participation on #Crowdtap that
Secret Clinical Strength® deodorant is formulated to not only work under ordinary conditions, but that it is made to work well for stress sweat as well. I've noticed in the past that I stress when I'm nervous or under a lot of pressure, but I didn't realize that a deodorant could be formulated to work just as well under those circumstances as for an active lifestyle.
It just so happened that I got to test how well this product works when I'm under a lot of stress. Last week my poor little daughter got sick. It was several days of fevers, coughing, and very little sleep for the both of us. I found myself getting overworked and stressed as I tried to help her feel better, but still try to take care of the rest of my family and the house as well. I didn't really have time to think about it at the time, but with the help of Secret Clinical Strength® I was able to cope with all this stress and not have to worry as much about myself. I put it on in the morning and went about my day as usual, and by night time it was still doing its job. I was so impressed, that although I have not yet gone out and purchased a full-sized product to use, I definitely will soon. Thanks Secret® for this opportunity to try your amazing product and for helping me stay fresh no matter what life throws my way.
