I was just reading about how bad alcohol is for your skin. Perhaps you can find a gentle spray that doesn't need rinsing. I've got some, but I don't know whether it's sold Down Under.
I need something which works better then normal soap thou which can like neutralise odour. (I use the alcohol as soap doesnt work always under my arms).. often even with "scrubbing" soap using a skin brush and flannel and using water.. doesnt always get rid of B0 under arms. (for many people it does but for some of us it dont.
I think this is an inherited thing as my father used to have to wash and shower 3 times a day and he still reeked to the point that others complain about his odour. (Ive seriously wondered if he has the gene mutation for Trimethylaminuria. .. stinky fish syndrome.. its not normal. I wouldnt be surprised if I have a mutated gene for that too) .
One is not left feeling clean if one still smells even if after scrubbing underarms with soap. I dont know whether Horizon has the same issue going on as I get at times, seeing he/she says baby wipes arent enough.
but yeah Ive heard that alcohol is apparently bad for skin (though I only use it right under arms and no where else).. probably absorb a bit too. Though those swabs are dry within even 10 seconds so I guess any absorption as it evaporates so fast wouldnt be much at all.
