Whatever the base, apply lightly and avoid inhaling loose powder, especially around the face and for babies. For infants, use only products made specifically for them and follow your paediatrician's advice. A herbal, talc-free body powder is a pleasant, refreshing way to stay dry and comfortable, used sensibly.

Yes, this is exactly what body powder does best: it absorbs sweat to keep the skin dry and reduces the friction that causes chafing between the thighs, under the arms, and in skin folds, which is why it is so welcome in hot, humid weather. A light dusting after bathing and before a hot day keeps skin comfortable. For persistent chafing or any rash that develops, keep the area clean and dry and see a doctor if it does not settle.

Yes, a cooling herbal body powder with sandalwood, vetiver, or neem is a classic summer refresher, absorbing sweat and leaving the skin dry, cool, and lightly fragrant through a hot day. Dust it on after bathing and reapply if needed. Paired with a natural deodorant, breathable cotton, and cooling foods, it keeps you comfortable in the heat the gentle, traditional way. A khus or sandalwood body powder is one of the simplest pleasures of an Indian summer.
