Discover The Most Effective Ways to Apply Deodorant
Applying deodorant at the right time can make a difference in how well the formula works. Natural deodorant with skin-loving ingredients, such as ethically sourced grass-fed tallow, has more time to support your skin when you apply it at night onto clean underarms. This gives the essential oils time to absorb more effectively into dry, cool skin without worrying about fresh sweat getting in the way of effectiveness.
Over the summer, you’ll probably have to reapply your deodorant in the morning, but use a thin layer to avoid build-up or pilling. If you wear something with sleeves, give your underarms a few minutes to absorb the product.
Try Different Scents to Find the Best for Your Body Chemistry
Like using perfumes, finding the best deodorant scent for your body may take more than one try. Your unique body chemistry contributes to how well essential oils combine with your skin, so you might decide that one scent doesn’t work as well as another. If it’s your first natural deodorant, don’t forget the detoxing period before giving up on a particular scent. You might just need more time.
And, if you love the formula, it never hurts to try a different scent. For example, you could use a deodorant with charcoal and peppermint essential oil, but the peppermint didn’t work well with your skin chemistry, or you just prefer a different scent. In that case, try a deodorant from the same brand with a similar formula but with another essential oil, such as blue tansy.
