What to look for in a quality deodorant ?

6 posts in this topic

The cheap one I've been using for a long time just keeps giving me skin rashes . These days what I try to do is shower often and use talcum powder wherever something could smell, but it's not as effective as a synthetic deodorand that last for a whole day.

I'm gonna experiment with not eating meat for a week or two see if my stankiness goes down as well. I smell like pork even after a shower.

Any recommended brands or rules of thumb when buying a good body deodorant? Thanks ?

use talcum powder

bad bad bad bad !! Talcum powder is a carcinogen. Johnson & Johnson had to pay few billions to women around the world for having their product linked to ovarian cancer. Maybe you don't have ovaries as a guy but I wouldn't touch this stuff...ever. 

The solution is not to use deodorants but to adjust your skin microbiome. Get a natural essential oil soap without chemicals and only use that to wash your armpits, you need to adjust your microbiome in this region and after some time the nasty smell will be practical gone. The more you use deodorants the worse it is because they are like antibiotics for your skin microflora. And if you afterwards still need to use some, buy a rock salt or something of that sort.

Water, soap and shaving is the best.

There you go. Otherwise? Essential Oils

Don't remember where I learned this trick, but I just squeeze a little lemon on my armpits, works fantastic.
