Natural Remedy for Cleansing Your Armpits
This remedy will help you to cleanse your skin’s surface, to remove any toxins, and to destroy the bacteria on your skin.
Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
- 1-2 teaspoons of water
- 1 tablespoon of bentonite clay
Instructions:
Add the above-listed ingredients to a bowl which is not made of metal. Stir them with a wooden spoon until you get a creamy mixture.
Apply the mixture onto your armpits with your fingers or a cloth, and let it stay for 5-20 minutes. The first time when you are using this mixture you should leave it for a short period of time.
Then, you should gradually increase the time. After a few minutes, wash it off with warm water. At the beginning, you may experience tingling or a warming sensation on your skin until your body gets used to the ingredients.
In case there is an appearance of redness, it means that the blood circulation in the area has improved. However, if it hurts, you should immediately wash it off with water.
Repeat the process a couple of times a week until the natural deodorant stops irritating your skin.
