3 Helpful Tips For Getting Started
by Sarah Thomas
Welcome to Lume and a new era in personal hygiene! Lume has normalized body odor and smashed myths about how and why odor forms. Whole Body odor control is the new golden standard.
If you are just getting started with Lume Deodorant, here are a few tips that will help you get the most out of your new routine.
1 Apply To Dry Skin
Our Deodorants are powered by Mandelic Acid, a gentle alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) with a nice, low pH that controls odor reactions on our skin.
One of the great benefits of using Mandelic Acid is that it gently exfoliates skin. If you have noticed your pits looking particularly fine since using Lume, that’s why.
When you apply Lume Deodorant to dry skin, you reduce the chance of irritation. Alpha hydroxy acids tend to penetrate skin more deeply when skin is wet, and you risk the possibility of over exfoliation which can lead to sensitivity.
2 Apply Daily
Lume Deodorant is clinically proven to control odor for 72 hours, but if you're just starting out, it's a good idea to apply daily until you notice you've gone 24 hours odor free. From there, you can begin to experiment with how often you need to apply.
You might find that you need to apply to pits daily, but other areas like privates or feet may only need a few applications each week.
3 Reapply Each Time You Shower
While the odor control with Lume Deodorant is outrageously effective, bathing provides a clean slate, so you’ll want to reapply wherever you want to control odor.
Bonus Tip: If you want to get more power out of your shower, use Lume Acidified Body Wash or Cleansing Bar. Both are proven to remove odor better than soap and control odor for 24 hours!
That’s it, you’re on your way to smelling as good as humanly possible—everywhere that matters to you!
