Essential summer halachot for observant Jews: bathing on Shabbat and proper use of personal care products
Is it permissible to bathe on Shabbat?
It is forbidden to shower on Shabbat with hot water, but with cold water it is permissible to wash even one's entire body. One should be careful not to come to squeeze water from one's hair [Yalkut Yosef 326].
Is it permissible to use spray deodorant on Shabbat?
It is permissible to use deodorant on Shabbat when spraying it on one's body, even in places where there is hair such as under the arms, and there is no prohibition of creating a new scent. However, it is certainly forbidden to apply it to clothing [Yalkut Yosef 327].
