Bentonite Clay is a mineral rich clay used for centuries for its healing and purifying properties. A Bentonite clay face mask works like a charm for clearing acne, cleansing pores & collagen production. It’s equally great when applied to the underarms and combined with vinegar (which is naturally anti bacterial & anti fungal) it makes a great underarm detox mask. Here’s why:
BENEFITS:
- Reduces Sweat
- Reduces Body Odour
- Maintains a healthy pH and bacterial balance
- Helps to remove a buildup of antiperspirant or deodorant, making a transition to all-natural deodorant easier
HOW TO MAKE:
1 Tbsp Bentonite Clay
1 Tbsp Vinegar (1 tsp if you have sensitive skin)
You can add some water to achieve a yogurt consistency, mix and apply like a mask, leave for 10-15 mins, wash off in the shower
HOW OFTEN TO USE:
If you’re transitioning from an aluminium based antiperspirant to a natural deodorant you may need to apply it more often. Basically, antiperspirants work by blocking your sweat glands whereas natural deodorant simply neutralizes body odour (while allowing your body to function normally). When you switch there is no longer a chemical to prevent you from sweating so your body will often temporarily increase sweat production as it tries to adjust. Patience is the key here. Give your body time to transition (usually 2-4 weeks to restore to a healthy bacterial balance) and when it does you’ll notice far less sweat (and body odour) than before. Regular underarm detox, during this period helps to reduce excessive sweat. Start with applying 2-3 times a week and gradually reduce.
If you’re already using a natural deodorant, we recommend detoxifying your underarms at least 1-2 times a month to help maintain a healthy pH and bacterial balance which means you’ll need to apply lesser amount of deodorant
