What to do: A little prep work can prevent this from happening, or at least lessen the damage. First, apply deodorant the night before -- this will give it time to soak into your skin (even if you shower the next morning). And when you shower, use an anti-bacterial body wash like Dial Body Wash, $7.89 with a gentle body scrub such as Origins Modern Friction for the Body Nature's Gentle Dermabrasion, $34 to get rid of dead skin cells -- it's these two factors that contribute to smelly pits.
Apply deodorant again in the morning when your skin is completely dry so it can absorb fully. If you know you're going to get sweaty, try wearing light, breathable fabrics in colors that won't show as much of a change when they're wet (like black or navy). If you're still showing pit stains, head to the bathroom to dry your shirt off with the hand dryers or paper towels and reapply deodorant if you can. If all else fails, try not to do much waving or hugging.

Funny how famous people are used for this article. I have better things to do then spend my time wondering if someone has chipped polish on their toes.... please! Everyone knows that chipped polish is a "disaster". I feel sorry for those people in the limelight whose bad hair days and no time to get to the salon are put out there for everyone to see.

Oh yeah, because in the first slide you could totally tell that she had a \'big\' zit on her chin. NOT. If your pimple is that small no one is going to notice or care

love the idea of using the foundation at the top of the cap for a concealer.

For the last couple of years I've brought my own nail polish to the salon.

Very helpful article!! I've found Guerlain Meteorites to be VERY helpful at disguising my very ladylike hangovers (I don't have time for the routine they list in the article--I eat breakfast at work!).
