Well this is embarrassing...admitting that I'm an idiot and I stink. My brilliant adaptation of a natural homemade deodorant seems to be lacking the deodorizing qualities I was looking for in a...deodorant.
I just came in from my ridge top hike and then did 20 minutes on our elliptical machine thingy. I stink. Fortunately, there is a lingering beeswax/lavender scent intermingled with the stink, but I stink. It didn't work. I guess leaving out a few key ingredients, like baking soda and arrowroot, was a dumb idea. I'm going to melt down one of my jars of goo and stir in baking soda to see if that helps. The other I am leaving as is which, as it turns out, made a fabulous body butter. My rosacea face seems to be happy with it too.
Going to take a shower now and then I'll be applying the "commercial stuff".
Let me know how it works with the baking soda in it. I have considered making my own deodorant, but was worried it wouldn't work!
ReplyDeleteI have not been pleased with the homemade deodorants we have tried (even though my mom uses them without a problem). Let me know if you find a good recipe!
