Why I Use Natural Deodorant 🍋🌸

#lemon8diarychallenge I never thought that I would use natural deodorant in a million years!!! If you are a stinky, heavy sweater…please stay and hear me out! 😭 (I have never tried these deodorants in these pictures. They’re just suggestions)

It was embarrassing how sweaty I would get as a female! My sweat used to be so strong that it would soil my clothes! I would keep wipes and deodorant in my purse, having to touch up my pits throughout the day!

I thought the solution was to keep looking for a stronger deodorant or a better laundry detergent to get the smell out of my clothes. Until I researched detoxing my armpits & using natural deodorant. A lot of people say natural deodorant doesn’t work after trying, but did you detox it consistently for a month or did you just swipe some on and stop after not getting overnight results?

I found out that if you have NEVER detoxed your pits, all of that aluminum in your pits are built up and blocking your sweat glands, causing them to stink! I had no idea! I detoxed everyday and now my clothes don’t have that onion smell. Look for ALUMINUM FREE while shopping for your deodorant. I’m still exploring different deodorants and detoxification methods, but it’s been great !I have been natural for over a year now! 🥳🤗🥹

... Read moreNatural deodorants have gained popularity as a healthier alternative to traditional products that often contain aluminum and synthetic ingredients. Many users initially report skepticism, believing these products lack effectiveness. However, the process of detoxing your armpits may significantly improve your experience. When switching to natural options, it's essential to give your body time to adjust. Detoxing allows the sweat glands to function normally, leading to less odor after the transition period. Additionally, consider exploring specific ingredients in natural deodorants. Coconut oil and baking soda are common ingredients that combat odor while being gentle on the skin. For those with sensitivities, look for formulations without baking soda, as it can cause irritation. Brands like SEPHORA's solid deodorant offer interesting alternatives by using plant-based ingredients to keep you fresh without harsh chemicals. Lastly, maintaining a consistent hygiene routine is important. Regular application of natural deodorant, combined with proper detoxification methods, can lead to long-lasting freshness and confidence. Remember to stay hydrated and consider your diet, as these factors can also impact body odor. By embracing natural deodorant and understanding its benefits, you contribute to a healthier lifestyle and better skin health.
