Finding a good deodorant can be tricky, especially if you live in a hot climate like I do. Often I do try to go the natural route just because I feel safer healthwise with those choices, but on some dog days of summer, I just HAVE to wear antiperspirant.
The GOOD: Thanks to Green Grab Bag, I was introduced to a natural deodorant by EO.
It's actually made with organic ingredients as well as not containing the aluminum that causes concern for so many. It's a spray so it's easy to use and you don't miss any spots. I got the Vetiver which smells AMAZING. It also has a cooling effect which I found quite soothing when I sprayed a refresher on after getting all hot and sweaty.
The Bad:
Fresh Sugar antiperspirant
If I'm going to pay $18, it should at least work, right? I love the other Fresh products and I SOOOOOO wanted to love this, but it just doesn't work for me at all. It's a roll on and it's a bit sticky and takes a long time to dry- I had to walk around with my arms in the air for some time before I could get dressed. What's so weird about it is that I stayed DRY but somehow would wind up smelling like a homeless person within hours, even though I wasn't doing anything at all strenuous! So if I'm not hot, I'm not sweating- why would my armpits suddenly smell like the Trinity River on a hot day? It's like this stuff has a split personality and decides to transform into stink juice.
The Ugly:
Biotherm Deo Pure. Okay, promise me you won't laugh at me. This stuff is imported and costs $28.00. It's alcohol free and meant for sensitive skin, so I thought it might be a good summer choice since the heat makes my pits all prickly. Okay, and honestly I also was curious about just how awesome a $28 antiperspirant would be ;-) Um- WOW. It SUX. Within the hour I was sweating profusely which turned into a ghastly BO. I didn't even use it all up, that's how useless it is. Putting baby powder under your pits is more effective. Boy did I learn my lesson on that one!
