Prep for an intense workout with SweatWellth No Sweat Pre-Workout Hydrating Spray ($25; sweatwellth.com) from head to toe. The mist contains antimicrobial coconut oil to help fight odor-causing bacteria. On the hunt for a natural option that still gets the job done? Try Biossance Squalane + Bamboo Deodorant— for sale 7/17 ($16; sephora.com), which utilizes bamboo powder to help absorb sweat. For maximum support, swipe on an antiperspirant like Secret Active Sport Clear Gel ($5; target.com). The more you sweat, the more odor protection is released for up to 48 hours.

Adding pleasant smells in unexpected ways is a great safeguard. Lightly scent your wardrobe by stashing a sachet like The Laundress Lavender Pouch ($10; thelaundress.com) in one of your drawers or on a hanger in your closet (FYI, fabrics hold scent longer than skin). When you can’t wash your hair, revive it with Batiste Dry Shampoo in Fresh ($8; amazon.com) to remove excess oil and any odor. In the shower, suds up with a fragrant wash like Caress Botanicals Mediterranean Neroli & Green Tea Shower Foam ($6; walmart.com), which lingers all day.

Punch up your perfume

The steamy summer months are a great time to switch to a lighter fragrance. Channel a Mediterranean vibe with Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Italian Zest ($78 for 50 ml; sephora.com). For a sensual option, Glossier You ($60 for 50 ml; glossier.com) has a spicy pink-pepper top note and heavier base notes (a warm musk). Or indulge your sweet tooth with Ralph Lauren Romance Rosé ($96 for 100 ml; sephora.com). Make it last by layering unscented lotion over your fragrance.
