The Pit Stop
If you are worried about stinky pits when you switch to a more natural deodorant, you have good reason! For some people, it can take a few weeks to detox the pits from the effects of aluminum. The aluminum in the antiperspirants clogs the sweat glands, leaving trapped bacteria and toxins.
One of the reasons why you think your natural deodorant isn't working is that your sweat glands are still clogged from the aluminum.
Once you draw out those impurities, any natural deodorant will work better.
How to Do an Armpit Detox
An armpit detox draws out the toxins from your pits and gets those glands back to working order, so those natural ingredients can do what they're meant to do.
It can take a few weeks for your pits to transition from the bacteria and toxins that have been trapped in sweat ducts by antiperspirants.
To help speed the detox process, use Counter+ Charcoal Facial Mask on underarms once a week and wash underarms daily with Counter+ Charcoal Cleansing Bar. Then when you switch to your new, safer deodorant is going to work so much better.
P.S. You might experience stronger-than-average B.O. during this time. But stick with it—it’s worth it! .
If you are switching from an antiperspirant to a clean deodorant for the first time, your underarms may need a week or two to detox before you experience the full potential of safer deodorants.
