If you are also a fan of eco-friendly and natural beauty solutions, you’re going to like today’s post. After many attempts I managed to come up with two recipes for game-changing antiperspirants. Both of them are made from ingredients you’ve got in the kitchen! 

Who should go for homemade antiperspirants?

• people who want to live a more eco-friendly lifestyle
• people who struggle with ingrown hair
• people who are allergic to readymade antiperspirants
• people who like testing new beauty trends

A homemade antiperspirant really pays because it is as effective as products from the store. Plus, it is more budget-friendly. The components are the most important, though! DIY antiperspirant contains ingredients you know very well while readymade ones are jam-packed with synthetic aromas, preservatives, and harmful aluminum derivatives.

Recipe for homemade antiperspirant

Essential ingredients:

• 50 ml rose water
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 drops essential oil (I use lemon oil)

Preparation:

1. Slightly heat up rose water in a pot.
2. Add baking soda and essential oil. Mix the ingredients.
3. Wait until the mixture cools off and pour your antiperspirant into a spray-on bottle.

Essential tips

• Keep your homemade antiperspirant in the fridge.
• As far as the first antiperspirant goes, apply it using a powder puff, brush or sponge.
• Allow the antiperspirant to be fully absorbed to avoid stains.
• Instead of coconut oil, you can use sweet almond oil which works wonders on sensitive skin.
• Use any essential oil you like.

Good luck while making your natural antiperspirants! I hope you’ll love them as much as I do.
