![]() There has also been a lot of speculation if using these type of deodorants are one of the reasons we’re seeing so many cases of breast cancer. Your body sweats for a reason, blocking sweat is not the right solution. It basically blocks your sweat glands temporarily and reduces the amount of sweat released. Their active ingredient is aluminum salts which dissolve into your skin’s surface creating a barrier. Before I tell you why you should detox your armpits and how to detox them, you should understand why it’s best to stay away from most antiperspirants and deodorants.Īntiperspirants are made to reduce the production of sweat. When I start looking into deodorants I learned two very important things, how antiperspirants work and all the toxic chemicals used in conventional deodorants. I never thought much about it until I started researching the ingredients in most of the products my family uses. Sometimes I would spend around 30 minutes at the store smelling different deodorants until I found a new smell I loved. I’m not going back to the old stuff to test it to find out.For most of my life I’ve used conventional deodorants, they worked and smelled nice. I was probably going through a regular deodorant faster than that, so that might actually not be much price difference at all when I think about it. That’s slightly over two months for each deodorant which is somewhere between $6 and $7.50 a month depending on if you buy a pack. I have used two deodorant sticks since the beginning of April (and just started a 3rd yesterday). If you buy it in a “pack” you can save some money (and that’s what I’ve started doing), but it’s certainly not cheap. It isn’t cheap! It’s much more expensive than most regular deodorants and also antiperspirants on the market…even the clinical ones. Now price on this is where it fails a little. Now getting used to actually sweating is another thing entirely but I’m getting there. If I apply this after shaving my arms…it does burn a bit…I will say…but my skin is ultra sensitive and I can’t put anything on after I shave that doesn’t burn unless it’s straight up olive oil. I am actually less stinky than I was with the regular old antiperspirant! Wowza. I only apply it when I get out of the shower and when I notice I might be a little smelly. ![]() Yay!Īnd for the dreaded pit stank? Well this stuff works pretty well for me! Now I don’t know where they get 72 hour odor control…(maybe if you literally sit around on a computer all day), but I usually only apply this once a day…maybe every two days when I’m not out at the barn. I find that if I am going to wear sandals or flats or shoes without socks…this stuff is fantastic for preventing that foot stank. So…that goes to show you that I’ve given it a good try.įirst off, I don’t love getting stuff on my hands to rub in my armpits so the tube I only really use on my feet (it can also be used on your private bits if you like). I am now on my 3rd deodorant stick (and still the first tube). ![]() Personally I prefer the deodorant style applicator for my underarms…but having the tube sure does work when on my feet! So I broke down and bought the tube and the regular deodorant style container to try out. I was struggling to not scratch the heck out of them daily no matter what brand or scent/not scent I tried. I think my body had just had enough of aluminum. Honestly…they give me a rash…or make my armpits itch…A LOT. I wanted to use less potentially problem causing ingredients applied to my body.ģ. They may keep me from sweating, but my pits still smell after a long day at the barn anyways.Ģ. ![]() Regular deodorant/antiperspirants I still get stinky wearing anyways and I applied this stuff twice a day. So first off I should mention why I was giving this a try. The idea of sweaty armpits makes me go…”ewwww” but of course I fell for the commercials on Youtube for Lume and needed to try it. I’ve been an antiperspirant person my whole life. ![]() When I get home from the barn my husband doesn’t let me linger, he says “You stink! Go shower now please!” Now…what I’m talking about here won’t get rid of that horse smell, but the sweaty person smell…well… Seriously…I mean…if you’re outside working in the sun, riding horses, grooming, digging in the dirt, running, walking, chasing children, chasing dogs, mowing the lawn, going grocery shopping, having a stressful Zoom call…you’re probably stinky too.
