The Thai deodorant stone works by inhibiting bacterial growth on the body. Bacterial growth is what causes body odor! The stone attacks the problem of bacteria not the results of the bacterial problem. It will not clog your pores. After a shower or bath, while your body is still damp, apply the stone by rubbing it on the areas you wish to have the protection.
Rinse your hands after application so the protecting film does not stay there!
