Making You Armpits Happy: Making Deoderant

So, my armpits have a mind of their own and they do whatever they want. One reason being is because I don’t keep them in check with antiperspirant deodorant. I have not used antiperspirant deodorant in over 2 years because it contains aluminum. You know the stuff that you wrap your food in, yep that is the same stuff in your deodorant; it’s in the form of very small particles. Now don’t think I haven’t been using deodorant at all LOL! I use Toms of Main deodorant, but that was not helping me! My armpits would laugh and be like, “what you trying to do with that stuff”. So ever since I have been on a quest to find a perfect natural non harmful deodorant. Then it dawned on me, “Make it yourself!”
 Basically to decrease sweating the aluminum 'plugs' your sweat ducts. And that ain't good. You don’t want anything on your body being plugged when its main purpose is to excrete. Antiperspirant deodorant use has also been linked to breast cancer.

If you are tired of no results from your current deodorant, or your armpits get tender from the use of your deodorant (not a good sign by the way, so stop using it), or you just want a better, cheaper, naturally efficient deodorant then make your own!

I will be making a bar of deodorant, but in the mean time here is a quick fix that I have tried...today LOL! So far it’s working for me. I will give an update tomorrow for the final results. All you need is:

 Baking soda (it can be used for everything!)
 Vodka 
Coconut oil

Instructions:
Use a small Dixie cup or a small container with a lid. pour about 2-3 table spoons of baking soda in the container and pour alcohol onto the baking soda till it forms a liquid paste(not thick but watery). Add two medium drops of coconut oil and one drop aromatic oil if you want to make your mix smell good, like lavender, spearmint, or orange.
To apply use a few cotton balls and just rub under your pits. Don’t use too much, just enough to cover the pit. If you have hairy underarms then you may want to avoid the cotton ball and use your fingertips to massage in the mix.

The baking soda serves and an absorbent and the alcohol kills the bacteria and the coconut oil is for a little moisture. Experiment with this and let me know you do to make it better
