And this is where most people stop using natural deodorants + go back to the nasty stuff. But before you give up on natural deodorants for good… have you tried an armpit detox?
You can find my recipe for a DIY detox mask HERE, but here are 3 main reasons why you need to get detoxing, stat.
1. Reduce irritation. Like I said, I had a terrible reaction when I first started using a natural deodorant. I started applying a detox mask weekly and haven’t had an issue since🙌🏼
2. Reduce odor. I’ve heard from lots of people that they’re scared they’ll smell if they switch to a natural deodorant. Well… I don’t think I stink… but if you’re nervous, a detox mask is a great way to go. I make mine with apple cider vinegar, which is proven to kill bacteria (like the kind that makes you stinky).
3. Eliminate buildup. Traditional deodorants contain aluminum, which builds a layer on your skin of yuckiness and traps odors, sweat, etc. I don’t know about you but… I don’t want aluminum and other questionable fragrances/ingredients clogging my pores. A quick weekly detox will ensure your pits are nice and clear for the natural deodorant to get to work!
