Thinking of switching to a natural deodorant? Here are a few key things you should know before making the switch.
FFS Fresh is a sustainable, cruelty-free, and vegan brand and their Original Natural Deodorant Balm (£11.00) is proven to prevent odour.
The deodorant is a game changer and was awarded Silver for Best Natural Product at the Global Makeup Awards 2022 and a finalist at the Pure Beauty Global Awards for Best New Natural Hair or Body Product.
Please see below for everything you need to know when switching to a natural, sustainable deodorant. I was hoping this might be of interest for any upcoming pieces.
What does natural deodorant do?
Natural deodorant works a bit differently from your regular antiperspirants. Instead of blocking sweat glands to prevent odour, it instead works by altering the skin’s natural pH level which prevents smell-causing bacteria from thriving. This means odour is still prevented, just without blocking any important bodily functions.
Is natural deodorant worth it?
First of all, allowing the body to function as it’s intended to is definitely a perk of natural deodorant. Our bodies are supposed to sweat to allow the release of toxins that we don’t need. Natural deodorants won’t block any glands but will still eliminate odours effectively. Plus, natural deodorants usually contain extra skin-loving ingredients. FFS Fresh is packed with coconut oil and shea butter to nourish and protect.
If that wasn’t enough, there’s also the added benefit of natural deodorants being packaged more sustainably than traditional plastic or aerosol deodorants. FFS’s Natural Deodorant is housed in a plastic-free reusable tin, so it’s kind to skin and the environment!
Is there a transition period?
When first switching to a natural deodorant, some people can experience excess sweating while the body adjusts from using antiperspirants for a long period of time. Not everyone will experience this, it just depends on your body! You could also experience a change in odour, but this won’t last long and will ease off quite quickly. If you’re finding you’re experiencing this, you can try applying more frequently throughout the day just while your body adjusts.
As for the application, although it might feel strange applying deodorant with fingertips at first, hear us out. It’s no different to applying creams to other parts of the body or gel to the hair, plus it means we can get to know our bodies so we can detect any abnormalities.
How much natural deodorant to use?
All you need is a pea-sized amount applied to each armpit. Just pop it onto your fingertip and massage into the underarm. As the essential oils are released, you should experience an uplifting scent – the perfect start to the day!
You might want to top up later on in the day if you feel you need it, but FFS Fresh is designed for lasting freshness!
