Because while there aregreat natural deodorantsout there, none of them conceal funk like agood old antiperspirant.

But, committed to making the switch, Ive learned that sometimes, Im just smelly.

So, I tried the new armpitCurie Clay Detox Mask($16).

(Note: I later realized I did the mask wrong and it still worked wonders!

But, dont follow my lead.

These contain aluminum salts that form a plug or blockage within the sweat glands to physically prevent sweat.

Regardless of whats actually happening when you stop using an antiperspirant, you will be super smelly.

IwishI had the Curie Clay Detox Mask when I went natural last January.

isnt enough to mask my B.O.

It also feels weirdly nice to give a little extra TLC to my underarms.

All I ever really do is shave them and put on deodorant.

So treating them to a little clarifying mask feels amazing.
