Why you DON’T NEED to DETOX your armpits when “transitioning” to natural deodorant

There are many myths surrounding armpit detoxing and transitioning to natural deodorant, we are here to set things straight! First things first, a rash should never be acceptable! It is important to note that switching from your current deodorant to a natural formula is NOT a complicated task. Simply make the switch, no detox or transitioning process required! Other articles claim that you must detox your pits before making the switch or it may result in a rash, FALSE! Rashes most commonly occur when you use products containing harsh ingredients such as aluminum and baking soda.

 

Detox has been a buzz word in the beauty and health world, but what does it really mean? When we talk about detox, we are referring to a period of time where you remove toxic or unhealthy substances from your body. Now, we are seeing a trend in armpit masks, but are they really worth the hype? No. Armpit masks claim to increase the effectiveness of natural deodorant, remove build up, reduce irritation and eliminates odor. However, your body is a wonderful working machine that already, naturally detoxes and removes those harmful chemicals. Applying clay or vinegar-based masks won’t do much more than simply washing your pits with a gentle soap.

 

In most cases there is no actual “transition” period when switching to a natural deodorant. However, some individuals may need a short adjustment period. The adjustment period is simply some time to allow your body to adapt to the change, it’s a natural process, literally! This time period is different for everybody, however giving natural deodorant about 3-4 weeks to adjust is acceptable.
