Eau de Deodorant. Finding What Works, Natural Alternatives
This is a not so serious post about a delicate subject in a delicate area. Underarm deodorant. Finding what works.
Mom is just too busy to have odor. Since I am a woman who enjoys her scents (of the perfume variety that is) I really dislike it when underarm deodorant goes bad or in other words fails.
I’ve had that happen a few times. Where the deodorant goes bad. The most recent failure was Suave. I’ve actually never had Suave work so why I bought it again I don’t know. To have a deodorant fail is one of the ultimate’s in total frustration (and depending on where you go embarrassment).
So it’s back to what works. I have a problem with cosmetics….I like them so I’m always trying new things. But in this case I need to be brand loyal.
In the case of deodorants see if you can get a sample or try before you buy. All it takes is one day to find out if that stuff will work for you. Find it at a deep discount at one of those discount stores.
Here is my rundown of what works for me…
On my sister’s recommendation I have purchased and liked Dove. This is not the first time I’ve used it though. It has always works I just started looking at the greener lawn (you know on the other side).
On special ocassions I wear Donna Karan’s Cashmere Mist. This was recommended to me at a perfume fair (it’s all about the scents) and truly is very good and smells nice too. But at $18 a pop I can’t justify it for every day.
I also like Yves Rocher deodorants. I was using their creme deodorants but then they discontinued them!!!! I do not like it when people make a good product go away. They came back with a solid which works also but I just ran out and had the Suave in the linen closet so I went for that.
But since this is not supposed to be about my ranting and raving and instead about beauty tips for mom for those of you that may be allergic to said deodorants there are a few natural remedies to keep the eau at bay. My disclaimer. I have never nor will I ever (never say ever) tried these. Use at your own risk.
- Peeled potatoes. Wipe under arm.
- Mixture of Corn Starch and Baking soda (pat under arms like a powder
- Apple Cider Vinegar
- One of those natural crystals found in most grocery stores
