I Don't Wear Anti-perspriant!

Real Quick... first of all I have spent about 10 minutes trying correctly spell Anti-perspirant...is that even a word? Because I have tried to write it various ways and it still gets highlighted as an incorrect word.

Anyway...

The story is I have always had this thing about odors, especially underarm odor. Since I have been on my all natural journey-well at least somewhat all natural-I have studied various aspects of what causes certain things to happen to our bodies. In my study of trying to understand odor I have learned that underarm odors are caused by bacteria on the skin that comes in contact with your sweat (which by the way does not have a smell) and that is what makes your arms have a smell.

Ya see, it is actually a good thing to sweat no matter what the commercials say in regards to sweating (never let them see you sweat) well because of that people got in their heads that sweating, especially under the arms is bad, when in actually it is natural, although a little embarrassing, still natural. But, nevertheless anti-persirants really cause the problem or at least makes it worst because they clog your pores. With the chemicals that are in these products nowadays they actually inhibit your pores from expelling sweat which is need to clean your pores and keep you cool and in the long run can become very dangerous to your body.

So after realizing this I have tried many times to stop wearing the stuff (as you can see I am trying to avoid spelling "anti-perspirant") Now please understand that is not the same as deodorant because that is supposed to help keep the odors down but there are still chemicals within deodorant that can be harmful as well. I believe if odor is caused by bacteria on the skin that comes in contact with sweat then the problem to me is kill the bacteria or at least reduce the bacteria and see how well that helps with the reduction of odor under the arms!

My conclusion is this I am using myself as a "lab rat" for lack of a better word (sorry:)), so I have developed this underarm spray that contains bacteria killing agents and essential oils that are anti fungal and skin healthy oils to see how this all works. I am using all natural products, I am not disclosing anymore information until I truly determine whether or not this all truly works but I will say this I have been using it for about 2 weeks now and I am extremely pleased. I am always asking my husband and kids to smell my underarms because I am so amazed that there is never really an odor. Well to honest it is more of a 24 hour relief sort of product now because if I don't shower for a day...lets just say you can tell :)...I know TMI (Too Much Info) but I'm just keepin it real.

So that is my reasoning for not wearing anti-perspirant (still don't think that is an actual word)...any way I will keep you posted on how this experiment is going. I totally believe in trying things the all natural way and if it works without having to use chemicals then I am so willing to give it a try! No clogged pores or harsh chemicals for me....How Chic!
