Quick tips on scent layering and bodycare by the industry expert Nirja, founder of Laani
The warm, misty and soft-salty breeze from the ocean embalms the soul like no other. However, this also means feeling sweaty and sticky the whole time, along with an unsolicited body-odour. The perfect poly-lycra composition of our swimwear ensures that you stay sweat-proof and non-sticky all day at the beach, yet the humid atmosphere can leave a lingering odour. So when you plan your beach-to-brunch day or a dip-to-dinner sundowner, you need a little fresh something to combat the odour. We onboarded the founder of Laani– a bodycare brand with clear deodorant stick, quickly becoming internet’s favourite, to answer all your woes about right layering and application of deodorant along with other skincare to stay and feel fresh.
We asked her what’s the right way to layer your deodorant along with other everyday essentials like SPF, mist and moisturiser to keep the fresh vibe on, all day– “deodorant first, then moisturizer, followed by sunscreen and topped with a mist!”, tells Nirja. Opting for a fragrance-free SPF and moisturiser that has a light-on-skin formulation would work best against the sticky sea breeze. The coverage-offering swims, be it a swim-dress or bodysuit with skirt, also allow sun protection, keeping you fresh and light, these paired with the deodorant stick will make the most coveted duo, you cannot do a beach day without!
On the ingredient and skin compatibility, Nirja says that the deodorant stick has Niacinamide and Alpha Arbutin for pigmentation and Meadowsweet extract for odour suppression, all irritant free and dermatologically tested safe for sensitive skin!
If you are wondering which scent would give off the most beachy nostalgia, helping you travel back to island life, Nirja recommends Morning Person. She says “it’s like having a cool Mojito on a hot sunny day”! When opting for a mist, go for complimenting notes that help elevate your beach billowing experience.
So, before you put on the swims and head for the sea-side splurge, roll-on some Laani deodorant under the pits, near the neck and chest area for an invigorating day.
