Free the Pits

Do you find yourself having to switch deodorants every couple of months cause it seems to loss it’s potency?

Then it might be time to go natural!

It is important to note just like with any other skincare or body product you use, different products will work for different people. Certain things just work better with certain body chemistries. So if at first you don’t succeed try something new.

The most important part when making the switch is detoxing your pits. When making the switch it could take days to weeks for you to truly see the benefits. During this time you may notice an increase in sweating, odor, and possibly even sensitivity. All of this is natural and is your body flushing all the nasty chemicals from your previous deodorants.

Because of this you will have to give yourself at least a month on the new deodorant before you decide if it will work for you, baring any allergic reactions of course.

The great news is once this detox is done, as long as you stay with a natural deodorant you won’t have to go through it again.

A great way to help this along is an arm pit scrub. Pacifica makes a great Coconut Charcoal Underarm Detox Scrub that smells amazing and does the trick. Any great exfoliating scrub will help though. You want to get all that sunk in yuckiness out of your skin.

Another nice thing about natural, is they are clothes safe! No more deodorant stains or bleaching on you clothes that your just can’t get out!

So are you ready to make the switch?

Your skin, clothes and the people around you, will thank you!

Also fun fact, deodorant is a great remedy for chaffing, whether between your thighs, under your breasts, wherever the heat finds its way to make your skin red, prickly and uncomfortable. Deodorant can be a life saving precautionary remedy to make the summer and heat more enjoyable all around, and tends to be a lot less pricey then the creams and other specially made products for those chaffing issues. Why not get the most out of your deodorant?

Make the switch to the natural stuff and let your sweaty areas be free!!!!!

And smell great while doing it.
