Today's topic is DIY deodorant. There are many DIY deodorant recipes out there. And, baking powder is the most popular ingredient of all time. I was going to try the recipe when I read it, but I gave out. There are many comments on the negative outcomes of baking soda, like irritation under your armpits. Also, I read other recipe, using clay, witch hazel to replace baking soda. Sadly, i don't have any of them in my house, and I don't want to spend money on them.
After a few days google searching, I kind of gave out.
Then one day, after finished my work, my armpits stink a lot! And I hate that feeling so much! I knew it was because of "bacteria farts" under my pits and I can't wait to kill all the bacteria on my pits!
Immediately I thought of baking soda. The reason baking soda works is because it's low pH value, then I related it's acidic properties to TEA. Tea has tannic acid! So, i add some water and swipe the tea bag on my pits for a few times. Guess what? IT WORKS! MY SMELL GOES AWAY IN SECONDS! I went from smelly pits to sweet tea smell!
+ And it last for hours before i went to bath.
The next day, after I clean my pits ( I shaved it ), I swipe tea bag under my pits a few times again. After 9hours of working, my pits are not smelly. I'm so glad it works!
My feeling after using tea bag as deodorant:
My armpits sweat less. Even if they sweat, they only smell like green tea! I love it! No more complicated recipes, no more research! I finally found a simple way to keep my pits refresh!!# Note: I only add a little water, so it is a very concentrated tea. Then you can dry it out and use it again. And yes, I didn't reapply during my working hour.
I don't know why I didn't see this sooner, but this seems like a great idea for deodorant. And it's cheap. Thanks.
