9 Deodorant Hacks You Never Thought Of

Certain beauty products obviously belong on certain parts of your body, but can also have other uses you might've never even thought of. With this roundup of deodorant hacks, you'll be able to not only remove annoying white marks fast, but also learn some other random and glorious uses for deodorant. Hooray for multipurpose hacks for this totally multipurpose product!

How did I learn so much about dealing with deodorant, you ask? Well, working as an actor growing up and racing to and from auditions, my car often doubled as my closet and bathroom mirror and I definitely got creative with how to use certain products.

Racing from one audition to the next, I had to wear heels while also tossing on my clothes. One time, I didn't even realize I had major (read: MAJOR) white lines down half of my shirt and a charming slew of blisters on my feet. The casting director didn't say anything, but he knows that I know that he noticed those white marks (you know?). By the time callbacks rolled around, I made sure my pits were always in the clear and I'd deodorant-proofed my shoes to dodge new annoying blisters.

To avoid annoying white marks and embrace how totally multipurpose deodorant is, don't miss these hacks below.
