With the sunny weather (hopefully) on the horizon, there’s no time like the present to start getting your summer skincare prep on the go. However if there’s one downside to the warmer temperatures, it’s how much it can make us sweat.
Whether you’ll be out and about on a hectic errand run, heading on a night out or trying to keep up your outdoor workouts in the sun, keeping your sweat in check can feel like a struggle – not to mention it can make you feel uncomfortable, self conscious and even lead to painful chafing.
Thankfully, we’ve discovered the AKT The Deodorant Balm Sc.02, £17.85 here (was £21), which can be used on your entire body.

Not only does it tackle underarm sweating like a regular deodorant, but it can also be applied to other areas that encounter excess moisture like your feet, the backs of your knees and even your forehead. The balm helps keep you feeling, looking and smelling fresh throughout the warmer months.
The award-winning product is made from natural ingredients, and comes in a choice of six different scents so you can pick the one that makes you feel your best.
The AKT London balm contains sodium bicarbonate and natural zinc oxide which help banish odours, whilst the diatomaceous earth and arrowroot both help keep you dry all day long. It also contains vitamin E, shea butter and calendula which help moisturise your skin, keeping it soft and nourished to prevent chafing and soreness.

If chafing is something you struggle with no matter how much or little you sweat, another staple in our summer beauty bags is the Megababe Thigh Rescue, £12 here . The handy stick glides onto your skin in the areas most likely to suffer from chafing, such as your inner thighs, underarms and even your feet, if your favourite shoes rub, preventing friction and sores so you can enjoy the summer chafe-free.
However if you’re desperate to get your sweating under control, the AKT London Deodorant Balm is a must-buy.
To use the balms, you just need to squeeze a pea-sized amount onto your finger and massage it into clean skin just about anywhere on your body to get all-day, effective protection from sweating and odours.
Shoppers have been raving about the balms, with one saying: “Call off the search. This is the best deodorant you’ll ever find. I’ve spent most of my adult life searching for a deodorant that’s aluminium-free, gentle yet effective. This one ticks those boxes, plus smells divine and you can take it on your carry-on when you fly. Love it.”

A third also said: “Very effective product and smells amazing!!! The best deterrent I have ever used.”
