I have written before about how I have completely ditched deodorants that contain aluminium for health reasons. On a day to day basis, I use Weleda Deodorants and some natural roll ons but I have to tell you that many of these work differently to regular deodorant. For one thing, they don’t block up your […]
I wrote about my decision to ditch aluminium deodorants so since then I’ve continued to try out new suitable deodorants when I come across them. One thing you have to get used to when you ditch the aluminium is that fact you will sweat more and feel more ‘wet’ (ahem) but at least you don’t smell. […]
I did an armpit detox. What the hell is an armpit detox? Well let me explain how I got here… A few months ago I decided to completely give up any deodorants that contain aluminium. Aluminium is used in deodorant to reduce sweat – I naively thought that this only affected aerosols – wrong! There […]
I was recently talking about deodorant with a good friend, who also loves natural beauty products like me. I have been faithfully using a Sure Maximum Protection cream deodorant for years and I didn’t realise that it actually contained aluminium – an ingredient I thought was only present in spray deodorants. I should’ve checked the […]
My favourite deodorant is Sure Maximum Protection which is a cream, but I was recently sent a Sure Compressed deodorant – the clever thing about this is that it’s a small travel size but it releases less air, so it actually has as much as a large can! Honestly, I haven’t used a spray deodorant […]
Nivea has launched a new gentle but powerful deodorant to their currently vast range of skin and bodycare products, called Powder Touch. This deodorant lasts for up to an impressive 48 hours (great for long days, holidays, journeys, festivals and so on), and dries instantly to avoid stickiness. Nivea Powder Touch was tested by the English […]
Sure’s newest deodorant, Maximum Protection Every Day Fresh offers 48 hour protection and is two times stronger than the leading antiperspirant. It is still mild enough to use every day and offers dryness protection (if applied at night it forms a level of protection against wetness the next day). I was given a challenge […]
Come on – we all sweat. Not everyone sweats equally, granted – but we all sweat. It’s only natural, baby. You’re going to think I have a sweat problem because I keep reviewing deodorants…but I don’t! I swear! I do get very hot though and I hate feeling uncomfortable because of it. I am also […]
Smelly situations occur anywhere, anytime. I was recently in London on a tube and was amazed by the amount of stinky pits around me. I was in the post office and a duo extremely, extremely stinky walked in and stunk the whole place out. I was on a tram a very stinky person sat near […]
You don’t want to stink, no one else want’s you to stink. I don’t know about you but since I have sensitive arm pits I am careful with what deodorant I use. 99% I won’t use a spray because I find it causes all kinds of problems such as itchy skin or even lumps under […]
Everyone stinks of OB (as my aunt calls it) sometimes. (For those who haven’t quite woken up yet, yes I do mean BO. Body Odour.) Three UK readers will win a set of 4 items: I am not a deodorant devotee basically because I find most of them too harsh on my pits, and I […]
I had this stupid teacher at primary school – I forget her name but she had a turkey neck and was super bossy all the damn time. She used to use phrases that confused me all the time like, “Hold your horses” (What horses?) “It’s raining cats and dogs” (Where, where?) “Not in a month […]
