If you are reaching for your deodorant you might want to take a moment and think about what you are rubbing onto your underarms. Most people don’t think about the chemicals that they are absorbing into their bodies when they apply deodorant. Just like everywhere else on your body, your skin being the largest organ, you absorb what you put onto your skin. If you are cleaning up your beauty and skincare products, why haven’t you cleaned-up your deodorant game? It’s hard to find a natural and toxin-free natural deodorant that works. You have to try a few brands to see what works for you. I am in love with this month’s green luxe: Detox Mode Deodorant.
Why natural deodorant? Well, the first thing you may not know is that the deodorant you are currently using is blocking your pores. The deodorants that you pick up from the drugstore unless it’s a natural deodorant, contains odour and sweat blocking aluminum. Yes, I get it, no one wants to smell like sweat! Not only is sweating your body’s way of cooling down it’s also how toxins are released. The chemicals used in your current deodorant have been linked to hormonal imbalances, infertility, breast cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.
We also can’t forget the skin irritations or the unsightly razor burns, bumps and underarm discolouration. I used to get rashes caused by my deodorant. All signs of irritation or rashes have completely gone away since I ditched the harsh chemical-laden stuff for a natural deodorant. FYI, it will take a few weeks for your body to get used to natural deodorants. You may notice that you smell at first, but don’t quit. It takes about 2 to 3 weeks to detox your body.
You can get this natural deodorant from The Detox Market.
