Pick an antiperspirant deodorant stick or spray. Try one with a formula that helps prevent deodorant white marks or yellow sweat stains like AXE Night Antiperspirant Deodorant Stick, or AXE Gold Dry Spray Antiperspirant.

02Apply
Apply product to dry skin only. Water plus antiperspirant deodorant equals a higher risk of stains, so let post-shower armpits dry completely before applying.

03Avoid
Avoid applying too much antiperspirant deodorant. You don’t need more than a thin layer—too much excess will increase your chances of leaving white marks on clothes.

Remove antiperspirant deodorant stains—if they do end up happening—with a damp washcloth or wipe you can use on skin, but avoid disinfectant wipes. Just swipe vigorously at streaks until they're gone.
