Natural Deodorant for Sensitive Skin



Above is the two ingredients I have finally found to work for my super sensitive underarm skin...

Here is my embarrassing story. In Middle School, I suffered from excessive perspiration, and had to use prescription deodorants which dried out and irritated my skin. After this cleared up since stopped having such crazy hormones, I switched back to regular, super cheap store brand deodorant, and never had an issue for years.

But, this last year, I believe I developed an allergy to Aluminum...This has to be the only answer since I tried making sure the irritation wasn't from any other source. I wasted tons of $$$ of different brands of deodorant, and they would itch like crazy all day. It happened suddenly, and I don't have any idea why, but once I stopped conventional deodorant, the itching stopped. The first solution was making my own deodorant, http://www.fortheloveoffoodblog.com/2012/05/diy-deodorant.html. This recipe worked well for awhile, and many others have had success with it, but I found I was allergic to the cornstarch after developing swollen underarm glands which stopped swelling when I stopped this homemade product. So finally, I came to solution I use currently.

In the morning, I just spray each arm with Crystal Body Deodorant Spray. This product does not work alone for me, I just use it as an adhesive for a light coating of baking soda, which absorbs odor and wetness.

This solution works all day for me, and is super cheap, and all natural. So, I hope anyone who is frustrated with regular deodorant, or who can't use other homemade solutions can find success with this method.
