I got really tired of my old fashioned roll-on deodorant stick because frankly, my armpits always feel goopy when I use it and it has a really strong smell, which mixes with sweat to become some other weird, very powdery aroma. It's not ineffective, it just feels very strange, so I decided to replace it with the Crystal Fresh Deodorant Stick from Saje. It costs 10 bucks, and since it's a mineral stick, I'm betting it's going to outlast my pits. In any case, it's scent-free, which I like, it's novel (the whole wetting the stick before vigorously rubbing it on my pits because I'm suspicious about whether or not I actually managed to get anything on) and so far, it's working. Of course, I haven't actually tried to go running in it or actually even go outside in it, but my house is usually the same temperature as a sauna and I've definitely perspired a little. No smell as yet! I'm excited to see how this works, mostly because I'm tired of staining the pits of my shirts and it's been really difficult to find an organic deodorant stick that actually works, but the reviews for this seem to be quite good. The other thing that the lady mentioned is that it might take awhile before I actually see results - a couple of weeks. But I had that ethicaldeal voucher for Saje, so I picked up some bath salts as well just to make sure I actually got something at the store that would definitely be useful (I've come across too many bogus products that I've had to throw out soon after buying). I might pick up the spray one for days when I don't feel like chafing my underarms.
I don't necessarily believe in the whole aromatherapy thing, but I'm quite happy to use products free of chemicals and metals. The only thing I've yet to compromise on is shampoo, but I did pick some organic, local shampoo and conditioner for Ivan from Scraps on Main street, and it seems to be doing okay, so I might switch when I empty my bottle of bumble&bumble. Good lord, am I turning into a hippie?
