Body Powder: Do You Use It ?

[Prada's Meadow]

I stopped using body powder awhile ago. I think its too messy, especially if you wear alot of black like I do.

Do you use body powder.?

I used to wear powder a lot, but haven't done so in a while. I wear black often, too, and the powder can get all over the place! Donna Karan's Cashmere Mist line had/has a powder that stays where you want it. It has a really subtle scent that doesn't clash with other fragrances.

I don't use it either

Sometimes in the summer I do when it gets really hot out. But usually not.

I always wonder what the point is of using powder. Does it cut down on sweating?

 

[Liberté]

I don't know, but it helps retaining a matte look. I can't prevent you from sweating though, but maybe it absorbs some of it??

No, I never did like body powder, it seems too drying to me. I'm a body lotion fanatic. Can't get dressed without it!

I've always liked using it, but it's harder and harder to find. I perspire a lot and it seems to absorb a bit of moisture.

I like to use a little shimmery body powder when I'm going out clubbing, just to amp up my look a little bit. I'll also use it when it's really warm outside. I'll poof a little under my arms, and between my thighs to cut down on "chafing" (sorry if that's gross, but you know how it goes...)

Your post made me bust out laughing.

I know its still popular to use on babies. I was under the impression that not many people use it on them selves these days.

I believe that is the only time Ive actually observed it on people. Mainly men.

My grandmother used to use body powder.


A friend of mine used to put baby powder on his legs before he put on his leather pants. (They were unlined.)

This may sound silly, but I used to love the idea of wearing body powder - it just seemed so glamourous, and I loved the packaging and the large powder puff that came with the Chanel Allure body powder. I found that it actually irritated my skin though, so I stopped. I would love to find one that I could use on my legs to even out the skin tone... or to use in the summer when it gets hot and sticky.

Oh, I loved wearing it too ! once upon a time. Its just that, getting older and wearing a lot of black, it just doesn't make sense for my clothes.

I use to love getting the perfume, powder and creams gift sets for the holidays.
