Why to use Natural Deodorant

I have always struggled with sweating and STINKING! Even if it's freezing outside. I sweat randomly, I sweat when I'm stressed, I sweat when I'm excited. I used to slather myself with main brand antiperspirant and I would still stink. It seemed like the more I applied the more I would smell. So frustrating!

I have a family history of breast cancer and even if I didn't toxic antiperspirants/deodorant are horrible for your body. The aluminum and other chemicals soak into your skin (especially when we shave) and are directly next to lymph systems of the breasts. Did you know 1 in 8 women will get breast cancer? Those aren't great odds. About 45-50% of breast cancer tumors are found right at the top part of the breast next to the armpit. This is due to a large strand of lymph nodes being clustered in this area, but scientists think they get "clogged" with the aluminum and chemicals that soak in the skin from deodorant that is applied near that area. Not only do the chemicals add to the risk of breast cancer but they can also increase risk for Alzheimer's, and kidney disease.

I decided a few months ago enough is enough. I'm going natural. You can ask anyone that knows me... I'm constantly talking about how much I stink and how much I'm sweating. Not using antiperspirant/deodorant anymore was super scary for me. I researched and found a really good looking option. It smelled so good! For the first few days I was excited. It seemed to be working. To my horror, after about a week, I started to smell awful! Way worse than I ever smelled before. What the heck was going on? I did some research and figured out it was my body detoxing. All the toxins that I kept trapping in my pores all those years were finally able to escape. So, I detoxed for a couple weeks. I was sweaty and smelled like rotten onions and then just like that it stopped! Then, because life isn't fair, I started having a horrible rash. Itchy, inflamed armpits are not fun. Back to the drawing board. I researched some more and figured out that the baking soda in some natural deodorant is hard on some peoples skin!

Enter Lone deodorant. This glorious natural deodorant WORKS. Not only do I not smell anymore I also have noticed I'm not sweating as much. Even if I don't put on deodorant, I don't smell or sweat as much, because I'm detoxed! I'm an ICU nurse. I work 12 hr shifts where I'm constantly stressed. Doing anything from gardening in the sun to chest compressions at work...it works. If I'm doing something super strenuous I might have a little bit of a stench, but we're human, we're going to smell sometimes. I also have had no skin breakouts. There are no heavy metals in the product so people with sensitive skin shouldn't have a problem. I have the mint scent right now and I love it. Not only does it smell great, but it's cool and refreshing when it goes on!

I hope that everyone will make the transition to natural deodorant. It's so important for your health to cut out as many chemicals as possible. You have ONE body people! Let's treat ourselves like our most prized possession.
