Antiperspirants Vs deodorants….

Contrary to popular belief antiperspirants and deodorants are not the same thing, although yes they do both mask a particularly embarrassing case of body odour, your choice can have adverse effects on your health. 

Antiperspirants work by clogging and blocking pores and inadvertently prevent sweating, a very natural process of elimination by the body, they can also contain very powerful astringents such as aluminum which can affect the thyroid and brain function. 

Over 60% of what we put on our skin is absorbed by the body and the armpits being one of the nymph modes sites means, whatever is absorbed in that particular area can be spread quite rapidly through the body.  Look for natural deodorant alternatives or even make your own with natural neutralizing ingredients such as sage, lavender or even bicarbonate of soda.
