I have tried so many natural deodorants in the past, and they always stop working. I also had to use different kinds for different seasons, annoying. Sometimes I can get 2 weeks or even 3 months before they stop working, it can become very costly. So I thought maybe I will try making my own, searched around online for ideas, but the combinations where baking soda to rubbing alcohol. No way I was going to use those ingredients, some seemed very harsh. I finally found something, a Irish Herbalist said all you need is a lime. What a LIME? It has to do with the PH of our body and the acidic nature of the lime. I mite as well give it a try. When I tried it it was the middle of a hot summer, was not sure it would work. I bought a lime and cut it in half, then took half the lime cut it again so you get a quarter wedge. To use, your underarm should be freshly washed. I squeezed it slightly for the juice to come out, applied it to my underarms but only where the hair grows. It worked the first time but will it last? I used it over several weeks it keep going and still working, was not sure? But I can tell you it has been over a year now and still lasting. I have found that a quarter wedge lasts 1 week only, refrigerated. For me it lasted until I shower it off, I can't add any more after I have put it on the first time, like if I wanted to put some on that evening or something it will burn slightly and get red. So I apply it after my shower or bath soon after when my pores are open. The whole lime keeps for about 3 weeks covered tightly in the refrigerator. The unused part of the lime you can use in cooking or baking as well.
Has been the best deodorant I have ever used it works in all weather and it does not stain any of my clothes.Best of all it is really cheap!
I hope you give it a try and enjoy it as much as I have!
