Few things are more frustrating than needing deodorant to stay odor-free and yet reacting to said deodorant.
These chemicals include fragrance, aluminum, parabens, and propylene glycol.
This can be embarrassing and frustrating, especially if you shower twice daily.
The slightest exercise could leave you wondering, “Why do my armpits smell like onions?”
There are a couple of ways you could do this.
The second is expressing the juice and using a spray bottle, which might be messier.
The good news about this hack is that we can confirm it works, and science can explain why.
It’s worth noting that lemon and limes do not work like deodorants.
Deodorants contain aluminum compounds, which stop sweat from reaching the surface by blocking sweat ducts.
Natural deodorants are safer, eco-friendly, and chemical-free alternatives.
Since natural deodorants are organic, you don’t have to worry about letting toxins into your system.
Are lemon and lime safe for everyone to use?
Lemon and lime are natural products, but may not be safe for everyone to use.
To be on the safe side, be sure to patch test.
Try rubbing raw lemon juice on your thighs and underarms close to your armpit.
You’re good to go if you have no reactions after two hours.
It’s also important to wait two to three days after shaving to use limes or lemons.
Be sure to wash your pits first so that you have a clean base to start with.
One factor to consider is that lemons and limes may lighten your armpits.
Citric acid is a natural lightening agent that can reduce melanin production.
This can be a solid advantage if you want to lighten your darkened armpits naturally.
Finally, check your armpits for injuries and openings before using homemade deodorants on your armpits.
