Transitioning To A Natural Deodorant
Making the Switch: Why OWN Tallow Deodorant is Worth It (and How to Survive the "Detox")
Considering a change to natural deodorant? You're on the right track! OWN Tallow Deodorant offers a healthier choice for staying fresh, gaining popularity for good reason.
Why Go Natural? The Benefits
Switching to OWN Tallow Deodorant means choosing an aluminum-free option with clear advantages:
- No Aluminum Exposure: Unlike antiperspirants that plug sweat glands with aluminum compounds, OWN Tallow Deodorant keeps you free from aluminum accumulation. Aluminum is a heavy metal, not good for your body!
- Allows Natural Perspiration: Sweating is essential for detoxification and temperature regulation. Our tallow deodorant works with your body by neutralizing odour, not stopping sweat.
- Less Skin Irritation: Many conventional deodorants use harsh synthetic ingredients. OWN Tallow Deodorant uses gentler, cleaner ingredients, leading to happier underarms.
Navigating the "Deodorant Detox"
If you're already using a natural, aluminum-free deodorant, you should be in the clear, lucky for you, you can skip the detox because your body has likely already adjusted.
Ready to switch? Expect a "deodorant detox," a temporary adjustment as your armpits adapt. This usually lasts 2-4 weeks.Â
During this time, you might notice:
- Increased Sweating: Your sweat glands are unclogging and returning to normal function.
- Stronger Body Odor: Your armpit's bacterial balance is shifting. This temporary odor is normal as your body adjusts.
Patience is crucial! This phase is temporary and leads to lasting benefits.
Tips to Help with Your Deodorant Detox
Ease the transition with these simple steps:
- Regular Washing: Clean your armpits thoroughly with soap daily in the shower.
- Gentle Exfoliation: A few times a week, gently scrub your underarms with a washcloth or a tallow body scrub to remove dead skin and residue.
- Try an Underarm Mask: Mix 1 tbsp bentonite clay with 1-2 tsp apple cider vinegar and a little water to form a paste. Apply a thin layer to clean armpits, leave for 5-20 minutes, then rinse.
Smart Product Application:
- Reapply as Needed: You might need to apply your OWN Tallow Deodorant more often during detox. You can try apply at bedtime as well, to hurry up the detox period.
- Apply to Clean, Dry Skin: Always ensure armpits are clean and completely dry before applying.
- Avoid After Shaving: Give your skin a few minutes to breathe after shaving before applying deodorant to prevent irritation.
Making the switch to OWN Tallow Deodorant is a journey to healthier underarms.
Embrace the detox and enjoy a more natural approach to feeling fresh!
