Graf has a different take.

How Often Should You Apply Deodorant?

Most people need to apply deodorant daily toprevent odor from sweatand remain fresh, Graf says.

In fact, according to Graf, deodorants that are clinically tested are applied twice a day.

Deodorant should be reapplied as often as necessary for you to feel clean and fresh, Green says.

When you notice a smell or feel like the deodorant has worn off, then its time to reapply.

However, Chacon cautions againstapplying too much deodorant.
