Natural Deodorants to Avoid Toxins!!

Remember the commercial “Never let them see you sweat;” sweating is actually very healthy for you. It is our body’s way of getting rid of unwanted toxins. Unfortunately all products are not created equal and many health and beauty items are full of toxic ingredients. 

Some of the most common ingredients found in deodorants and antiperspirants are: parabens, zirconium and aluminum.  Research at Reading University has suggested there may be a link between the increase in breast cancer in the last 25 years which coincides with the introduction of antiperspirants. Breast cancer tumors in men and women tend to occur in the upper-outer section of the left breast, which could be because right-handed people apply more deodorant into their left armpit. 

Since learning this information i did some research and found natural ways to stop sweat and ans keep your underarms dry!!






Step 1:  Rub a lemon, cut in half on your armpit, allow to dry. You can do this twice just for extra protection. Lemon actually kills the bacteria that causes body odor. Do this under both arms.
 
Step 2: Once lemon dry, pat the baking soda on your armpit to stop sweating! And that's it!  Try it and let me know if you found it helpful or not.
