We're dermatologists - here's the truth about full-body deodorants and whether it's REALLY safe to use them on your boobs and groin

Daily Mail  

Deodorant is a common staple in many people's hygiene line-ups - but after all these years the product is now venturing out beyond the armpits to conquer a whole new frontier: your entire body. All-body deodorant is a fairly new product touted by many brands such as Lume, Native, Ban, Hume and even cult-classic Ban The product is meant to go onto the external areas of your body that also produce sweat, like the feet, groin, and under the breasts Similarly, an Old Spice underarm deodorant stick is priced at around $7.50, while their whole-body product comes in at $12.99. 'Whole body deodorants work to reduce body odor, but not sweat,' Mississippi-based dermatologist Dr. Lindsey Zubritsky told DailyMail.com. 'Antiperspirants contain active ingredients like aluminum salts that reduce sweating while deodorants contain ingredients that reduce odor without stopping sweat,' Dr. Zubritsky, who is also known as @dermguru online, explained. FEMAIL spoke with expert, board-certified dermatologists Dr. Lindsey Zubritsky and Dr. Margarita Lolis for their thoughts on whether or not it's a necessary product Dermatologist-approved all-body deodorants If you're in the market for an all-body deodorant, Dr. Lolis recommended the following to DailyMail.com: Miles stick deodorant, $9.99 Weleda Rose spray, $13.77 Kosterina Extra Virgin Deodorant, $20 'These ingredients work by either directly acting on the microbe or lower or raising the pH of the skin to make it inhospitable for bacteria to live and thrive.'
