The scalp isn't any more transmissive than other skin, right? My morning routine involves two mugs of strong tea and 200mg of modafinil, though, so I doubt I'd notice even if it did have some mild effect.

Caffeine can be absorbed by your hair roots and is supposed to help speed up growth/stop it from falling out. Most shampoos don't contain enough to actually do anything but that's what it's for. Also it makes your manpoo real kewl unlike those sissy ladyblossom ones

I spray deodorant into my pits and make a point of not breathing in immediately afterwards, because the fumes linger in the air for a few seconds and yes, they do make me cough if I breathe in deeply. I don't get what's so hard to understand about a spray not only landing where you point the nozzle.

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:Why do you spray perfume into your armpits instead of using an anti-perspirant like a normal person  I'm using this. Maybe it's a problem with German slang (you know, like "Handy"), but this is a "Deo" for me. Maybe the technical term is "anti-transpirant"? Is there a difference? What else would you use this for?

Deodorants cover the smell with another smell, or attack the smell itself. Antiperspirants use ~chemical magic~ to prevent you from sweating so there’s no smell in the first place. Or at least that’s the theory. Hardly anyone knows there’s a difference, and that’s fine because most products use a combination of both methods anyway.

Simply Simon posted:What do you mean? Yeah that only adds a second layer of smell. In America people use stick deodorants like this:  It leaves an invisible layer of kind of a waxy substance on your skin that stops you from sweating so you don't have any smells to cover up in the first place. The spray stuff exists here too but it's just glorified cologne. And one time a kid used too much of it and DIED.

You can save money on deodorant sticks if you just apply a few layers of epoxy under the pits or, you know, something else that doesn't stupidly just goes away overnight.

Even deodorants without antiperspirant ingredients aren't just covering up the smell with another one; they reduce odor by preventing the growth of bacteria, which is why unscented deodorant exists and works. Antiperspirants can definitely come in spray form, too.

I use a spray antiperspirant. It's also scented. Smells like what a chemical engineer thinks a spring meadow is supposed to smell like but the label says "Clean Comfort".

I like the new spray antiperspirants they make because they go on dry without a mess but still actually work, which is more than I can say for some of the stuff I've had to use in the past. Like roll on, which would try to rip out your body hair and still didn't work with a drat.
