Armpit Detox for Natural Deodorant

You’ve heard it 100 times–regular deodorant has aluminum & other toxins that can potentially be bad news. So you buy the natural stuff, toss the Dove & make the switch. But then you start smelling like ass by 10am & you’re sweating through every shirt. What’s a girl to do!?!?

Detox those pits! If you’re like me, you’ve been using plain Jane deo your whole life. So you’ve been putting chemicals on your skin/right by your lymph nodes for years. Your body has gotten used to them and needs to detox before it can acclimate and function with your fancy, new ~natural~ deodorant. You’ve learned that natural is best, but you gotta teach those pits! This mask routine below will help speed up the adjustment period when ya make the switch.

HOW TO:
1. Mix 1 tbsp bentonite Clay, 1 tsp apple cider vinegar & 2.5 tsp water with a non-metal Spoon in a non-metal bowl. +Spread even layer onto armpits and let sit for 15 minutes before washing off.

2. I repeat every other day for 2-3 weeks. You can start wearing your natural deo from day 1 of your masking routine & gauge how well it’s working daily! (All my fave products for this mask are linked in my Amazon store)

I got all of my initial info from @wellnessmama (trust her opinion). I’m still on the hunt for my favorite deodorant but I can tell you it’s way easier to gauge effectiveness once your body has detoxed. So far I’ve liked @native & @primalpitpaste. Trying the @primallypure Charcoal Deo this week!

Are y’all on the natural deo train? Have you tried it without detoxing & given up? Try again with a detox. Your body & pits will thank you!
