How 16 Celebrities Deal With Body Odor With Deodorant Balms, Sticks, Soaps and More

1. Beyonce: With long days on tour, it’s no surprise that queen Bey takes her scent seriously. She regularly uses Dove Advanced Care Revive to stay fresh during her long shows. She likes that it can last through her intense dance numbers, ballads and R&B hits.

2. Kristen Bell: The Good Place actor Kristen Bell is all about a deodorizing cream from the brand Fat and the Moon.

“It’s a little pot of deodorant I keep with me,” she told Refinery29. “It’s like coconut oil and baking soda, so it moisturizes and stays on, but it also soaks all the bacteria and takes away the [odor].”

3. Taylor Swift: Since Taylor Swift needs something she “can’t shake off” on stage, she’s loyal to Atk Deodorant Balm. Beyoncé’s backup dancers use it, too, so you know it’s good.

4. Meghan Markle: In case you were wondering, your royal highness smells of lovely lavender! She regularly washes up with Dr. Bronner’s organic lavender body wash, because it’s fragrant for a long period of time — so if she’s on a rigorous press tour, it’ll last the whole day.

5. Aubrey Plaza: She might seem eternally apathetic, but the Parks and Rec alum is a fan of Real Purity Roll-On Deodorant. According to The Strategist, she was turned onto it by fellow actor Judy Greer as a safe, natural alternative.

6. Sydney Sweeney: As the face of Dr. Squatch, it’s no surprise Sydney Sweeney is a fan of the brand. And she especially loves the pine tar deodorant.

“I love it because it reminds me of being back home,” she said in an E! Online interview. “I’ve been handing it out to a lot of my friends.”

7. Jessica Alba: Lavanila Natural Deodorant is Jessica Alba’s go-to antiperspirant. It smells great and she loves that it’s all-natural.

8. Nikita Dragun: Each & Every deodorant is a staple in Nikita Dragun’s vanity. The internet personality appreciates the brand’s gender neutral scents — and the fact it’s donated to LGBTQIA+ causes in the past.

9. Chloe Fineman: SNL star Chloe Fineman doesn’t take life too seriously, but she does when it comes to smelling good. She wears Aesop herbal deodorant, according to Into the Gloss, in addition to various perfume scents.

10. Shailene Woodley: Like the crunchy gal she is, Shailene Woodley avoids commercial deodorant. Instead, she opts for a natural mixture which includes baking soda, coconut oil, arrowroot powder and a few drops of essential oils (she likes lavender, sage, pepper, tea tree, and bergamot).

11. Olivia Wilde: Obviously, actor and director Olivia Wilde takes her pits seriously. She likes Agent Nateur because she’s wary of the potential risks that may come with deodorants containing chemicals.

“I am pretty careful about my deodorant, because I’m not risking it,” she told Into The Gloss.

12. Reese Witherspoon: Biossance Squalane deodorant — along with many of the brand’s other natural products — are staples in Reese Witherspoon’s daily skincare routine.

13. Olivia Culpo: As of 2017, model and actor Olivia Culpo was all about Degree’s Ultraclear Black + White Dry Spray.

“I can get ready from the gym and even sometimes in the car without worrying about any marks on my clothes,” she told The Cut.

14. Florence Pugh: She may be an award-winning actor, but that doesn’t stop Flo from sweating. Dove Invisible Solid Antiperspirant Deodorant is a staple in her bag, especially for long days on set.

15. Alicia Silverstone: It’s no surprise the Clueless star prefers a natural deo, considering her passion for health and environmentalism. Alicia Silverstone’s go-to is Naturally Fresh Roll-on Crystal Clear Deodorant, and she says a little goes a long way.

16. Justine Skye: Singer-songwriter Justine Skye has high-end taste. She uses Donna Karan Cashmere Mist Deodorant Stick, saying the $32 deodorant stick “smells like a pillow.”

4 Things You Should Know When Investing in Deodorant

1. Chemical deodorants may contain ingredients that can harm your health, which is why some people prefer natural deodorant.

2. Natural deodorant doesn’t work as well for some people, so it may take trial and error.

3. If you make your own deodorant like Shailene Woodley, StyleCaster recommends waiting to use it a few days after shaving, as essential oils can irritate your pores.

4. Consider an unscented deodorant if you have sensitive skin.
