{"title":"7 Easy DIY Deodorant Recipes","description":"\u003ch2\u003eKnow What Is In Your Skin Products!\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeodorant is necessary for anyone who wants to eliminate the odors that can spring from our armpits. But how is that odor created in the first place? Sweat has no scent; the smell occurs after a few hours when the bacteria break down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn fact, this means that we don't necessarily need an antiperspirant. Instead, we only need something to prevent the bacteria from breaking down or neutralize the odor once it decomposes. But unfortunately, many people are afraid to try something that isn't mainstream, fearing it won't work or that making a deodorant from scratch is too complicated and involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut making your own deodorant is surprisingly simple, and here are 7 easy DIY natural deodorant recipes to prove that!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOption 1: Baking Soda Deodorant\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSprinkle baking soda onto a damp cloth and pat it under your underarms. (Do not rub as baking soda is abrasive and will cause you to experience pain like a rug burn)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOption 2: Rubbing Alcohol\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRub the rubbing alcohol under your armpits.

Let cool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the above recipes demonstrate, there are many alternatives to buying commercial deodorant, ranging from the super simple to the more complex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ingredients are not harsh like the chemicals in commercial products and are, therefore, less likely to irritate. But always test the product on a small section of skin before applying it to your underarms - just in case you have an allergic reaction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, another benefit to making your own deodorant (besides knowing 100% what the ingredients are) is that you can adjust the scent's strength and type to suit your tastes. Experiment with essential oils and research what benefits you would like to take advantage of. Alternatively, you can choose to have no scent at all!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, men can experiment with more 'manly' smelling essential oils when making up their deodorants.
