I have to admit, I wasn't hugely excited about trialling this product. After all, it was an aerosol and I haven't used aerosol deodorant in years as I found too many of them made my sensitive skin flare up. Not to mention the stunning white patches most of them seem to leave! However, I gave it a tentative spray and it smelled good - really good in fact! So I decided to give it a real workout and see how effective and 'anti-stress' this deodorant actually was. I spent the entire day in the garden in temperatures of 30 degrees and over and the sweat was literally pouring off me as I sawed, dug, carted barrow loads of dirt and goodness knows what else. I even had sweat dripping off the end of my nose - but would you believe, under my arms was DRY? And even though the rest of me smelled like a wildebeest by the end of the day, my underarms were still as fresh as a daisy! This really did surprise me!
I have been a roll-on user for years and never dreamed I would go back to aerosols but I decided to continue using the Nivea deodorant as it just smells so good! It lasts all day, never any need for 'top-ups' and as another bonus it hasn't made my skin flare up at all. To top it all off, I've had no trouble with white spray patches on clothing either! I would never have tried this product if I hadn't been given it to trial but I'm very glad I did. Even my two sweaty teenage sons have pinched it and been impressed!
In the name of full disclosure, I shold reveal that I am a deodorant snob. From my first days at high school, when the classroom was full of the heady smells of various body sprays, deodorants and other such products (especially before math with the super spunky Mr Greaves) I always bought the most expensive product I could afford with my paper run money. Since those days, my income may have changed, bt my standards haven't. As i lover of brightly coloured tops, my deodorant snobiness comes from an aversion to white marks or even worse, dark patches.... I was therefore mildly dubious when opening up my mail with the Nivea Stress Protect Deodorant in it. For starters, it was aerosol. I am a roll on girl - see my aversion to white marks. However, not only di the Nivea Stress Protect not leave any white marks, it also didn't leave me gasping for air, in the style of many a previous attempt at using an aerosol. So now we come to the damp patch question. This is where this product really lives up to it's name. No matter the stress I am under, Nivea Stress Protect has really protected me from outwardly showing signs of that stress. And make no mistake, I work in a stressful environment and have a few stresses at home most days too. Yet despite this, Nivea Stress Protect has kept me looking cool calm and collected at all times. In fact, the only way Nivea Stress Protect could do any more in reducing my signs of stress would be if it could serve a gin and tonic! I am a true convert to this product, it is discreet, hardworking, soft and gentle on my skin and leaves me feeling confident, cool, calm and collected.
