How To Use
Start with clean, dry armpits and hands. Using your fingers spread a small amount on the underarm area. Relax for 10 to 15 minutes while the mask does its thing, drawing impurities from your armpits.
Wash off in the shower or bath. For best results when first switching to natural deodorant, use the mask every day for up to 14 days (7 works great for most people).
Once you've completed your initial detox, use the mask once per week (or whenever you feel like it!) to keep your armpits in tip-top shape.
This product is for external use only. Please don't use on broken skin. If irritation occurs please discontinue use. Store below 30ºC and keep out of direct sunlight.
The Product Story
For some lucky people (about 50%), ditching aluminium-based antiperspirants and switching to natural deodorant is a breeze. Their natural deodorant starts working right away and they get right back to being amazing without giving their deodorant a 2nd thought.
However, for the rest of us (the *other* 50%), it doesn’t work immediately, and we’ve got to go through an armpit detox cleanse before our natural deodorant will control body odour.
This is because antiperspirants block, or “plug”, your pores with aluminium salts, which stops the natural sweating process.
They also disrupt the balance of good and bad bacteria in your armpits. Without sweating normally your skin's microbiome does not have the right balance of good bacteria which makes it hard for natural deodorants to work effectively. Bad bacteria = more smell, good bacteria = less smell!
If your natural deodorant hasn't been working, don't give up! It just takes some patience and know-how (HINT: this clever little Armpit Detox Mask will get you over the line).
And once your natural deodorant is working for you, you’ll be able to rely on it all day long, and then some. So it’s worth being a little persistent. Your body just needs some time to get back into the swing of things and to lose your reliance on the aluminium “plugs” to stop body odour. This is what we call your ‘detox period’.
