Crystal Essence Mineral Deodorant Spray, Chamomile & Green Tea 4 oz (Pack of 12)

I have been using this spray deodorant for a few years and fell in love with it over time. I was tired of the mess that other branded deodorants left behind (residue on clothes, messy application, underarm staining on white tops, and difficult to remove in the shower). And I was also becoming aware of all the chemicals they included and that your skin is the perfect gateway for toxic chemicals to enter your body.After some research I found Crystal Mineral Deodorant Spray. When I first started to use it I thought this stuff was a waste of time. I was getting stinky just shortly after application and needed to reapply. Being used to the one-time-application of the other deodorants, I was annoyed by this.I soon realized that I needed to give my body some time to adjust and expel the years of deodorant that was left behind in the skin under my arm. After so many years of applying the traditional deodorant, it had built up in my pores. The slight residue that was left behind after each use was now semi-permanently absorbed into my skin (underarm). The traditional deodorant is made to stay on your skin and this is why it is so hard to wash off. Applying each day did not give the body enough time to push it out of the skin before another application was applied, causing build up.So, for a few weeks of using this Crystal Mineral Deodorant I would pretty stinky as I let my body clear itself of the years of previously applying traditional deodorant. I also had to get used to the perspiration because Crystal Mineral Deodorant is NOT AND ANTI-PERSPERANT but once your body becomes accustom to this natural spray, the perspiration lessens (if you think about it, the perspiration is also helping to clearing out the clogged pores of the previous deodorant use). I know it sounds ridiculous but this has been very true for me and I think it will be for you too.After years of use I no longer have build of traditional deodorant clogging my pores, I no longer have yellow stains on my white tops (its the deodorant that stains, not the sweat), washing my underarms no longer requires extra soap or scrubbing to remove the days deodorant residue, no white marks on my dark tops, and I feel more natural because my pores in the skin of my underarm are not clogged.The most remarkable thing I noticed was that I had more of "sweat scent" when I was not wearing any deodorant (at night after a shower, or just days off at home, or swimming, etc.) during my traditional deodorant times then I do now using Crystal Mineral Deodorant and I believe that is because my pores are not clogged, my body isn't trying to unclog them of dec residue. Anyway, this stuff is great, it just needs time to work if you are transitioning from a traditional branded deodorant. Oh, it also needs to be applied a few times a day depending on your activities. Remember its natural and doesn't have any agents/chemicals into that make it stay applied to your skin so over time you will "sweat" it off.Sometimes I add essential oils to give it some fragrance such as lavender or juniper berry or even tea tree oil. Also, it can be applied all over the body. I do this often when I have a cardio day at the gym *wink*.

This scent surpasses the Lavender and White Tea.My Spring and Summer deodorant for the next 6 mths. This really goes with my body chemistry.

HERE STARTS THE WALL OF TEXTThis is a great anti-odorant (not deodorant, not anti-antiperspirant, this is preventative stuff here!) once you learn to use it. I highly recommend it to people with bad body odor.I tend to sweat a lot and it can smell pretty bad IMO, but when using this I could probably go two days without smelling! That's impressive considering I can start to smell just twenty minutes out of the shower. (No I do not live in a super hot climate, I'm just special that way.)So from what I've learned, once you hop out of the shower and dry off, hit up both of your pits with this spray and hit them good. It will feel wet, but will dry off quick enough (don't have to wait to dry before putting on your shirt).Now, put on your undershirt (or whatever shirt will be directly against your pits) and give your pits another hit. At this point both your pit and the shirt in your pit will be moist.The goal of this is to get the active ingredient (read as salt) where you sweat so that bacteria cant have a festival of stench.(Nobody likes this kinda festival)That was the biggest thing I learned while using this, even though I sprayed my pits well, I would end up smelling. However when taking off my shirt I started to realize it was my shirt that carried the stench and not me. Thus, spray the shirt too!Anyhow, I hope this helps people. I wont ever go back to that other slimy / waxy deodorant / anti-antiperspirant with perfumes.Things to note:- This prevents the bacteria from getting out of hand and multiplying, so if you already stink, spraying this on will only prevent additional stink. Take a shower!- Try to dry the water from your pits before spraying this.- This works in other areas that sweat and smell, if I'm going to sweat a lot I'll sometimes hit my chest too- Don't be afraid to really spray it on there when you're first trying this out. Once you see the results you'll then start to try to hone in how much you reallyneed. Basically, prevent having a bad experience by trying to cheap out with two spritz.- It's in a purple spray bottle that does not look very manly, you may have to compensate elsewhere.Good day and smell well!HERE ENDS THE WALL OF TEXT
