Prepare yourself for one of the most annoying catch-22's of all time: Those yellow pit stains that ruin your summer whites aren't really caused by sweat. It's actually the combination of sweat and the aluminum in the antiperspirants we use. Your solution: Choose deodorant on days you'll be wearing white.
A crystal deodorant, like Crystal Essence Mineral Lavender & White Tea Deodorant Roll-On, $3.49, won't stop sweat the way antiperspirants do, but it will keep your armpits smelling fresh -- and your tops from turning yellow. After you wet the dry crystal and apply it under your arms, a thin layer of the crystal sticks to your skin, and its mineral salts help to reduce bacteria levels (the major culprit of B.O.). You may feel a little New Age-y rubbing a crystal under your arms, but your white shirts and dresses will thank you.
