When choosing between roll-on deodorant and spray deodorants there are a lot of choices available. You may, for example, be looking for a deodorant that helps to reduce odour or an antiperspirant that helps prevent sweat.
Ideally why not pick a product formulated with both deodorant and antiperspirant so it helps prevent both odour and sweat.
The Advantages of Roll-on Deodorant.
Roll-ons feature a rolling ball moistened with liquid or gel. As you move the product around your underarms, it applies a thin layer of antiperspirant deodorant to your skin. It is discreet, quick and effective.
They are Compact
Roll-ons can fit a lot of product into a very small package. They are the ideal deodorant for anyone on the go, adventurers, athletes, business travellers or for taking on holiday. You can easily pack them into your handbag, rucksack or any luggage at all. They are not bulky, and they are easy to carry, you could even put them in your pocket.
Roll-ons Do Not Leave White Marks
Roll-ons offer clear formulas that are specifically designed not to leave white marks on your clothes. These products are ideal for that little black dress or any outfit and can be re-applied at any time without being obvious to keep you smelling fresh and clean.
They are Dependable
To achieve maximum satisfaction from a roll-on, look for formulas that offer twenty-four-hour protection, so you do not have to worry about sweat stains or odour as you go about your day. The compact size of roll-ons makes them ideal to keep a spare in your drawer or locker at work, so you are covered at all times.
They are Effective
Roll-ons deliver a controlled amount of product. They also deliver a larger amount of active ingredient to your underarms than spray deodorants. With a good quality roll-on, you can be sure that you smell great all day.
They are Direct
When you apply roll-on deodorant, it goes exactly where you want it, so you never have to worry about it missing a spot or going too thin. The rolling ball applies the deodorant exactly where you want it every time.
They are Refreshing
Many liquid and gel roll-ons use ingredients that provide skin benefits, such as stearyl ether, sandalwood extract, barley extract and water. These ingredients have a moisturising effect on the skin which leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth.
They are Discreet
There is no fuss when applying a roll-on deodorant. You can apply it quickly and discreetly in any situation without bringing unwanted attention to yourself. Compared to spray deodorant there is no mist to worry about and there is no sneezing from excess product in the air.
There are a lot of options for scents with roll-ons. It is easy to find unscented deodorant if you do not want to overpower your perfume and there are also gentle roll-on deodorants if you have sensitive skin.
Spray Deodorants
Spray deodorants and antiperspirants come in a compressed metal can and spray a fine mist. Product formulations usually contain a mixture of active ingredients propellants and perfumes.
Spray Deodorants are Fast
Spray deodorants use a fine mist, so they tend to dry quickly on your skin. Dry sprays accentuate this feature by avoiding water or other moist ingredients in the formulation. It is ideal if you are in a hurry and saves time in the morning when you are getting dressed.
They are Flexible
Some people like to apply deodorant or antiperspirant to other parts of the body rather than just their underarms. For example, if you want to spray the back of your neck, the back of your hands, or even intimate areas then deodorant body sprays are ideal.
They Can Be Similar to a Perfume
Wearing a deodorant spray can be like wearing perfume. People notice it and the mist fills up the entire space around you. Sometimes the scent of the spray can be overpowering but for some people this is part of the fun.
Spray deodorants and antiperspirant spray the product into the air and can be irritating for people with asthma or allergies so it is advisable to spray the product in a well-ventilated room or cover your mouth and nose during application.
The Best Choice For You.
When choosing between a roll-on deodorant or a spray deodorant it is a personal choice.
You should always choose a deodorant that make you feel confident and comfortable. On the practical side your deodorant or antiperspirant should also provide reliable all day odour protection, so you are ready for anything.
Here are some of the top differences between roll-on and spray deodorant:
- The primary difference between roll-ons and spray deodorants is packaging. Spray deodorant tends to come in an aerosol can while roll-on deodorant often comes in a plastic bottle with a ball top.
- When used correctly both products can be effective against sweat and body odour.
- If you are sensitive to particles in the air avoid using a spray deodorant or apply it carefully in a well-ventilated room
- Roll-on deodorants are better to travel with because there may be restrictions for certain types of spray deodorants.
- Some spray deodorants are similar to perfume and can leave a long-lasting scent in the air.
