- Moist, moist, moist.
I can't really lift my eyebrows that much.
I don't have Botox but, like, moist. (chuckles)
I'm back!
It's me, Joanna, and I'm here today
to talk to you about natural deodorants
and making the switch to a natural deodorant
and I'm gonna be showing you how to use
the Lavanila The Healthy Underarm Detox Mask,
which is very interesting.
So if you wanna see how that's used, keep watching,
and if you wanna see more videos from us,
you can subscribe or hit the bell button.
All right, so, firstly,
sweating is completely normal by the way,
just in case you're using an antiperspirant
and you feel like you shouldn't be sweating.
Sweating is completely normal.
It's a bodily function
that is responsible for controlling our body temperature
and it's also a way for our body
to rid itself of built-up minerals and waste.
So when you use an antiperspirant deodorant,
which is like your Rexonas of the world,
those products are designed to inhibit sweating
or reduce the wetness under you arms
that you might experience.
Or your feet if you apply antiperspirant to your feet
to stop your feet sweating.
But a natural deodorant is a product that is designed
to just neutralize the odor.
So when you switch over to a natural deodorant,
I recommend having realistic expectations about the,
I wanna say moistness
but I don't know if people will like that word (chuckles),
about the amount that you will sweat.
So you'll still have that wetness,
you'll still have that sweating action,
but you won't smell.
So the deodorant will neutralize that odor
of BO or whatever it is
so that you smell nice but you're still able to sweat.
And I've got my new hairstyle today,
for anyone that is following my journey.
I'm doing a different hairstyle every video I do,
so I'm quickly running out of hairstyles.
So as I said, natural deodorants will neutralize odor
and any bad smells that come from your underarms
but there is a transition period
when going onto a natural deodorant
and I think this is where a lot of people give up
in the very early stages.
So a lot of people get one or two weeks in
and they're like, No, I stink.
I can't do this,
I'm going back to my antiperspirant deodorant.
The key is you've gotta wait four to six weeks
for your body to adjust to the new deodorant.
So during that period,
your body's kind of going through a detoxification process.
So it's ridding itself of any buildup of...
Can I say (bleep)?
Buildup of (bleep).
Your body's basically ridding itself of (bleep).
So don't give up after one to two weeks.
Give it a full month, that's my recommendation,
of purely using a natural deodorant.
So it doesn't count if you're still using
your Clinical Protection every second day.
You've gotta go cold turkey.
Switch over to your natural deodorant
and give it four to six weeks.
But I do have a trick when it comes
to making that process a little bit more pleasant
and that is the Lavanila The Healthy Underarm Detox Mask.
So this product is a mask,
you guessed it, for your underarms.
(Joanna sniffs)
(Joanna sighs)
(Joanna sniffing)
For making it easier to transition to natural deodorant,
the formula of this mask can help to remove
that buildup of bacteria, dead skin cells, sweat,
and antiperspirant products from under the arms.
It can also help to improve the appearance
of discoloration around the armpits
and reduce the occurrence of lumps and bumps in the area.
So in this mask,
you'll find activated charcoal and kaolin clay
to deeply exfoliate and purify
and work to brighten the area of skin
and then you've got malic acid,
which is a really gentle AHA derived from green apples.
So I actually have been using apple cider vinegar previously
and this mask has malic acid in it.
So that uniquely binds to impurities
and helps to draw them out.
And then silica helps to absorb sweat molecules
while nourishing the skin as well.
We'll leave that for 10 minutes. (laughs)
I'll be right here.
Can I do a TikTok while I'm here? (laughs)
I'm a savage! (laughs)
I was trying to learn that the other day with my friends
and we were like, "(bleep) We're way too old for this."
You wanna try this now, don't you?
- [Woman] Yep.
- I'd share it with you but it's probably not hygienic.
My arms are getting a bit sore already.
It's only been like a minute.
I feel really unfit at the moment.
Usually I'd be able to do this for ages.
(Joanna grunts)
Did you see my muscles then? (laughs)
So now that this has been on for 10 minutes,
I am going to use a damp cotton pad
to remove each side.
Usually I do this before jumping in the shower.
So I do this in the morning and then have a shower
and then I put my deodorant on.
Just wipe it off and you've got nice, smooth,
mm, nice, smooth underarms.
(sighs) I love my job.
Okay, so now you can go in
with any natural deodorant of your choice.
I personally recommend using this mask
when you're going through the transition period
but I also don't mind using it once a week
as a little bit of an underarm detox.
As I said, I usually use apple cider vinegar nightly.
I don't wear deodorant at night.
I put the apple cider vinegar on with a cotton pad
and then I do my deodorant in the morning.
So I don't mind adding this
into my self-care routine once a week
but I would follow this in the morning
with your natural deodorant.
So I've got a few faves at the moment.
I'm using the Lavanila Sports Luxe.
Sport Luxe. Sports Luxe?
Sport Luxe.
So this is quite a creamy texture,
so if you like that kind of deodorant.
I've got three different types here
so that you can find the right formula for you
'cause I know that deodorant is quite a personal thing.
So this one smells like,
I'd say a citrus-y hot man.
But I like masculine scents.
So I just go, whoop.
Never thought I'd be putting deodorant on on camera,
I'm not gonna lie.
Career highlight.
All right, so we've popped that on.
Also, make sure you get your whole underarm.
I feel like a lot of people just go like, beep, in there,
but you sweat all the way up here.
So I'm pretty generous with it.
- [Woman] Fresh laundry.
- Oh, yeah, it does!
Yeah, you're actually right.
It says, "Bursting with long-lasting
"vanilla breeze freshness."
Smells like fresh sheets.
(chuckles) I'm just having a moment.
This one's 25 bucks
and Betty and I can both vouch
for the fact that it's long-lasting.
You use this one as well.
So it does have a really creamy texture
and it is great for sensitive skin as well.
So it won't cause any irritation on sensitive skin types.
The next one we've got
is the Green People Prebiotics Deodorant.
This comes in three different scents and it's 26.95.
And the prebiotics in this actually work
to encourage a healthy microbiome on the skin's surface
to prevent smells.
So this is kind of like a traditional roll-on deodorant.
It's liquid-y, comes out of a roller ball.
It goes on, it absorbs really well,
and doesn't leave you feeling wet.
(Joanna chuckles)
I'm getting a bit of a rosemary scent.
Yeah, it's herbal.
That's what it is, herbal.
So the next one is the Black Chicken Axilla Deodorant Paste.
Now, this is probably the most interesting out of the three
because it comes in a paste form.
So you get it like this,
then you dig your nail in like I do,
and I tend to rub it between my fingers
to emulsify it a little bit, get it warmed up,
before applying it directly under the arms.
So this product will last you ages.
Look how much is in that tub.
You only use the tiniest amount every day
and it will last you ages.
It's got a really fresh scent.
It almost reminds me of incense.
It's really fresh and unisex.
It comes in a sensitive version, which is this one,
and then it also comes in a regular version too
and it ranges from about $18.50 to $19.50,
depending on which formula you buy.
The one thing I will say with creamy formulas,
if you have hair under your arms,
like, longer hair under your arms,
it might pull a little bit as you apply it.
So I'd probably recommend something
that has more of a liquid-y form, like this one,
because it'll glide over the hair much easier.
But if you can work around it,
these two products are awesome as well.
That? That could actually be a TikTok.
They do like a...
I don't know, the kids do it.
They're probably watching this going like,
"Oh my God, she's so embarrassing." (chuckles)
- [Woman] Okay, boomer.
- (laughs) Okay, boomer.
So there you have it.
That's my guide to switching to natural deodorant.
Try the mask.
