Summer Stinkers!

I’m forever on the search for clean green beauty that will keep me smelling fresh…especially during the hot weather. Here’s some of what I’ve found works for me!

STINK SAVIORS

Please don’t underestimate the power of a good old deodorant wipe when you’re out and starting to feel as though your deodorant has up and quit on you. My favorite deo sheets (I just bought another 3 boxes) are Yuni Beauty’s Shower Sheets. They’re HUGE, smell fantastic and you can use them all over — under arms, on legs, neck and down your chest. They are just wonderful, come in two scents and I carry them with me all of the time. Get them here. Another product that I love from this brand is their Flash Bath. New York City is HUMID and after a while you just feel straight-up sticky. This foam can be put all over. It contains neem and aloe vera and makes you feel super fresh. I like to clean with my deodorant wipe and then finish up with this mousse! Shop here.

The Underarm Bar    I love this.  First off, I’m obsessed with charcoal and its effects (but that’s for another post).  This XL underarm bar was created specifically to manage odors caused by bacteria on the skin (underarms and feet).  It’s made with activated charcoal and apple cider vinegar to fight off bacteria and leave you feeling fresh.  I’m a sucker for a deodorant bar and this one is great. It will also last you! Shop here.

DEOS

LoveFresh Super Strength Deodorant    Currently I have about 4 of these in my stash. I don’t play around when I love a deodorant. In the Summer, I carry one in my bag so that I can freshen up with my wipes (see above) and then re-apply my deodorant. The scent is of a light Cedar Wood and it’s been keeping me smelling fresh for hours.  LoveFresh’s Super Strength has double the baking soda and for some reason it doesn’t irritate my skin at all.  In fact, it actually has the skin under my arms smooth and stink-free.  This is, by far, my new favorite.  Please give it a try if you’re in the market for a new deodorant!   Shop here.

Detox Mode’s New Deos For me, I don’t get irritated by baking soda, so I love their Feeling Altogether deodorant. I love the citrusy scent and I feel like it really, really keeps me from stinking. If you’re not a fan of baking soda, try their charcoal-rich Feeling Free (baking soda free). This deodorant still works for me, but baking soda really kicks it into high gear for a stinker like me. Check them out here.

SOUNDS CRAZY…ISN’T!

Sovereign Silver Gel  I know, I know, this sounds crazy and no one that I know is doing it…yet, but it works.  So, silver is antimicrobial and since I’ve used some deodorant sprays before that contain silver, I decided to give this a shot and it’s working for me.  I just apply a little of the gel under my arms, let it dry and then apply my deodorant.  It totally keeps me drier and, no stink!  Try it.  I love it.  Get it here.  

POWDER…TALC FREE, TOO!

Oh, this powder is LOVELY and can be used as both a body powder and a dry shampoo! Talc-free, they use only the purest ingredients. They also recently redesigned their packaging, so it’s beautiful. I like to carry powder around with me or apply some on a hot day after I’m dry out of the shower as it keeps you cool. Their scents are wonderful: Basil Mint, Grapefruit Bergamot and Lavender Vanilla. Shop here.
