Cathy Doll Pom Pom Girl Refreshing Spray

Most body sprays are perfume in alcohol. This one is a moisture-absorbing powder in a can, made for the two places you most want to feel dry and fresh: the bikini line and the underarms.

WHAT IT DOES
Two fine powders, a starch-based absorbent and silica, take up the surface moisture that makes skin feel damp. They ride in a fast-evaporating carrier that flashes off within seconds, so nothing wet is left behind once the mist settles. A small dose of menthol gives a light cool feeling as it lands. Skin feels dry, clean and fresh, with a soft powder scent on top.

WHERE IT GOES
The outer skin of the bikini line, after your shower, before you dress. The underarms, the same way. And a light mist on the inside of your underwear, left to dry fully before you put it on. Outer skin only: never inside the body, and not on broken or freshly waxed skin.

WHAT IT DOESN'T DO
It is not an antiperspirant. There is no aluminium salt in the formula, so it does not stop you sweating; it deals with the moisture already on the skin. That is also why it won't leave marks on underwear or yellow stains on white shirts. The ingredients that cause those are not in it.

0% ALCOHOL
No ethanol, none. On the bikini line that is the whole conversation: an alcohol spray on skin you shaved this morning stings, and that is the one thing this spray cannot do to you.

THE SCENT
Powder Fresh: a clean, soft, talc-like note, dosed low. You notice it while you spray, then it settles into the background and stays out of your perfume's way.

THE FINE PRINT
This is a pressurised aerosol. Keep it away from heat, flames and direct sun, never pierce or burn the can, and don't spray near an open flame. Contains fragrance and menthol. Avoid the eyes.

1. Shake the can well. The powders settle, and a good shake is what turns a wet spray into a dry one.
2. Hold the can upright, about 20cm (8 inches) from the skin. Closer than that and the powder lands heavy in one spot instead of as a fine mist.
3. Bikini line: after your shower, on clean, dry skin. Spray the outer skin for 2 to 3 seconds. Outer skin only; never inside the body, and skip it on broken or freshly waxed skin.
4. Underarms: spray each one for about 3 seconds.
5. Underwear: a light one-second mist on the inside, then give it half a minute to dry fully before you put it on.
6. Give skin 10 seconds to settle before you dress. That pause is the whole no-marks trick.
7. Use it in the morning, then top up whenever you need it. It carries in a bag.

Caution: for external use only. Do not use on mucous membranes, inside the body, or on broken or irritated skin. Avoid contact with the eyes; if it gets in, rinse with water for several minutes. Stop use and seek medical advice if irritation or any abnormality appears. Pressurised container: keep away from heat, sparks, open flames and direct sunlight; do not pierce or burn, even after use; do not spray toward a flame. Use in a ventilated space and avoid breathing the mist. Contains fragrance and menthol; if your skin reacts easily, test on the inner forearm first. Keep out of reach of children.
