Switching to a natural deodorant is one of the best things you can do for your body, but the transition process can feel overwhelming. Many people wonder: Will I smell? Will I sweat more? Is natural deodorant really effective? The good news? With the right approach, you can successfully make the switch and enjoy fresher, healthier underarms without the toxins. Let’s break it down step by step.
Why Make the Switch?
Traditional antiperspirants contain aluminum, which clogs sweat glands to prevent sweating. While this may sound great, it also traps toxins inside your body and disrupts your body’s natural detoxification process. Natural deodorants work with your body by neutralizing odor without blocking sweat, allowing your skin to breathe.
- ✔️ No Aluminum, No Parabens, No Harsh Chemicals
- ✔️ Supports Natural Detoxification – Helps your body reset and regulate sweat naturally
- ✔️ Odour Control Without Harsh Chemicals – Uses plant-based ingredients for freshness
- ✔️ Gentle on Skin – No irritation from harsh additive
But here’s the thing—your body needs time to adjust. This is what we call the detox period.
What to Expect During the Detox Phase
When you stop using antiperspirants, your body will naturally flush out the built-up toxins and bacteria that have been trapped in your sweat glands. During the first couple of weeks, you may notice:
🔹 Increased Sweating – Your body is learning how to regulate sweat again.
🔹 Stronger Odour – This happens as your pores unclog and bacteria leave your system.
🔹 Possible Sensitivity – Your skin may take time to adjust to the change.
This temporary phase lasts anywhere from 2-4 weeks, but don’t worry—there are ways to make the transition smoother!
How to Transition Smoothly
- Start with an Armpit DetoxUsing an armpit detox mask made with activated charcoal and bentonite clay can draw out toxins faster and reduce odor. Apply 2-3 times per week for the first couple of weeks.
- Stay Hydrated & Eat CleanDrinking plenty of water and eating fresh, whole foods (especially greens) can help flush out toxins more quickly, minimizing the detox effects.
- Exfoliate Your UnderarmsGently scrubbing your underarms with a natural exfoliant (like a sugar scrub or a washcloth) removes dead skin cells and bacteria, helping your new deodorant work more effectively.
- Apply Natural Deodorant ProperlyLess is more! Apply a thin, even layer of Lathr’s natural deodorant on clean, dry skin. Allow it to absorb before dressing to prevent transfer onto clothes.
- Be Patient—Your Body Will AdjustThe detox period doesn’t last forever! After about 4 weeks, your body will balance itself out, and you’ll notice:✔️ Less sweating (your body will regulate naturally)✔️ Less odor (as bacteria levels decrease)✔️ Healthier skin (goodbye irritation and clogged pores)
