Alcohol as deodorant I am the one who asked this question and no one has answered yet. I have used many deodorants and none seem to work for me. I have started putting rubbing alcohol on my pits and then some baking soda and it works wonderfully, no smell what so ever!!! But I wanted to know if there would be any harmful effects from absorbing the alcohol into my skin daily so.... any one know? Rubbing alcohol may make the skin harder in the long run. Please use the search the site engine for rubbing alcohol. Your skin will probably become irritated and maybe dry.. but as for long term effects, people use rubbing alcohol on their skin and it seems to be ok for most people Isopropyl is bad news on your fingers. It strips the oils from your skin and will cause dry skin and cracked cuticles.
Use a spray bottle. I use vodka (ethanol and water) instead of rubbing alcohol. Mix vodka with two parts distilled water and a little bit of glycerin. The diluted mixture actually works better because it doesn't evaporate as quickly and has better contact time to kill bacteria.
I follow it up with a mixture of baking soda and corn starch.
-->I am a pharmacist and I'd like to share some info on using Alcohol for an Antiperspirant-Deodorant. First of all, if you are going to use Alcohol, don't use Vodka (40% alcohol, 60% water; or 80 proof). Vodka is too expensive. Rubbing alcohol comes in two types: Isopropanol and Ethanol. Ethanol smells better, like vodka, but don't drink it. Ethanol sold for topical use is "denatured" by adding a tiny amount of one of several chemicals that will make you sick if you drink it. Rubbing alcohol is usually 70% alcohol and 30% water, although a 50% mixture is also available. Alcohol is not an Antiperspirant as it does not stop perspiration. But, as is well known, it will kill bacteria on the skin. And it is bacteria normally on the skin breaking down the fatty acids & protein that are excreted from the apocrine sweat glands (that become active at puberty) located in our under arms (and groin) that causes the odor. So, killing the bacteria will stop the odor. It does not, however, stop the secretion from the glands. An absorbent powder will soak up the wetness and thus corn starch (and to a lesser extent baking soda) will also help. By the way, "normal" perspiration--the water and salt kind that cools us by evaporation when we are hot--is excreted by eccrine sweat glands. Hope this helps.
Yes.
Rubbing alcohol is known as isopropyl and is one of the ingredients used in perfume; their are others ingredients of course. I own 1/3 of a perfume company and i know what is involved in making perfume (to a certain extent). So go ahead and use isopropyl alcohol it is what others use but they just add a little more to enhance the performance.
Generally for perfumes the most used solvent is the ethyl alcohol.
Personally I Wouldn't rub my self in alcohol. It will just sting alot if you rub it on any open wounds. On the contratry, it would be better if one buy a deodrant from the market. there are lots of nice smelling deodrants available in the market.
Yeah, it's safe to rubbing deo but if you try Skinn deo as its in spray form. its easy to use. RSK Fragrance make it possible.

Deodorant is targeted to stops your underarms from smelling, whereas perfume adds to your overall scent. Antiperspirant is designed to stop you from sweating and smelling from the sweat and may contain some deodorant as well.
No, deodorant doesn't repel insects. In fact, it attracts them. Mosquitoes in particular are attracted by pleasant scents such as perfume, soap and deodorant.
The particles in perfume get mixed in air & we can smell it .
First you must take a shower!!! Use soap and shampoo. Also use deodorant or antiperspirant. Now no more stinky for you! And use perfume if that ain't workin for ya
No. Even though they both have a pleasant scent, deodorant only masks the smell of the area it is used on. Perfume will cover the whole body with a more intense fragrance depending on the brand and how much is applied.
All a deodorant does is put a masking smell in the areas you apply it to. If you want to help minimise sweating (aka perspiration) use an anti-perspirant. A deodorant is just perfume. An anti-perspirant puts down a layer that is harder to sweat through.
It might be your clothing perhaps ? But try using deoderent regulary everyday , and maybe use guy perfume.
i have never tried but you might be able to scrape the deodorant out of the container and boil it? i don't know if it would boil down and mix with the water but it might be worth a shot.
