How to start your natural deodorant detox
By Sarah Vrancken
Spring is the time for new beginnings and a fresh start. Perhaps a time to spring clean your body with a deodorant detox.
You may wonder 'but what does that mean?' Well, in simple terms, it's making the switch to a natural deodorant.
When looking at the ingredient list of any standard anti-perspirant deodorant found on the supermarket shelves, you may find it is full of synthetic chemicals. So the question is whether we can get the same effectiveness from a deodorant that only has natural ingredients.
Going 'au naturel' may be scary for some, especially if you feel dependent on heavily fragranced deodorants and anti-perspirants to deal with your sweaty armpits. However, making the switch to natural doesn't mean that you don't use anything; it means that you will only use products that have natural ingredients.
Making the switch to using a good natural deodorant may include a detox phase, but don't let that put you off.
In this blog post we explain why it's worth ditching your usual antiperspirant or deodorant.
Why consider a deo detox?
If you're looking to reduce the chemical overload on the skin, then considering a switch to a natural deodorant is a good idea. Our bodies are designed to sweat and we should always remember that sweating has an important function in the body: to regulate our body temperature. Of course, this doesn't mean that we want everyone around us - and ourselves included - to smell our BO wherever we go. After all, we don't want to trade in our social life for a natural deodorant...
Just like you may consider a better diet that works in line with your body, you may want to try a deodorant that works in harmony with your body's sweat but doesn't try to fully suppress it.
