I tried switching to natural products and used 4 or 5 that were very well rated/reviewed and none of them worked for me so I gave up. I find that pretty much all the aluminum anti-p/d work about the same for me since the active ingredient is the same. I'm using the Almay because I switched to products that do not test on animals and they are one of the few brands that make non-natural deodorants that don't do animal testing.odonata9https://www.blogger.com/profile/11828399190705506075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-37256879770533337832012-05-24T22:18:08.558+02:002012-05-24T22:18:08.558+02:00I have a really important tip for antiperspirant, ...I have a really important tip for antiperspirant, if you choose to use it! (I don't want to try to switch anyone to the other side but I will say that, currently, the evidence against aluminum in antiperspirant is slim/inconclusive at best. But I understand not wanting to take any chances with your body.) Anyway, if you use the aluminum stuff, it works best if you put it on AT NIGHT. It doesn't matter when you shower, because it's not a physical barrier; it actually changes the chemistry of your armpit, and it needs time to take effect. I started putting it on at night a couple years ago and it really does work better. (But I don't wear it every day because I live in a dry climate.)Elisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10270808520581466353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-53725248038325215422012-05-24T20:09:07.587+02:002012-05-24T20:09:07.587+02:00Michael, I must admit Nivea does not work for me i...Michael, I must admit Nivea does not work for me in any instance but body lotions and I'm not really a fan of theirs.<br />Interesting that anti-perspirants work so badly for you - there must be a chemical in there that you are probably sensitive/allergic to.Ineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119611878721554991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-44219335233343377552012-05-24T20:07:15.741+02:002012-05-24T20:07:15.741+02:00Thanks queen_cupcake for the suggestion.

My husband recently began using Silver Shield Deodorant, which is an all-natural, colloidal-silver based product. The colloidal silver keeps bacteria at bay, so it works pretty well for him (he seems pretty pleased with its performance). It smells quite herbal when he puts it on (pungently so) but the herbal smell actually quiets down very quickly. It's from a company called silver-botanicals.com in Austin, Texas.Suzannehttp://www.eiderdownpress.com/Perfume_Journal.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-81609859557428955262012-05-24T15:09:43.737+02:002012-05-24T15:09:43.737+02:00Hi Laurinha, thank you for the suggestion.

I was wondering if naturals contain possibly some essential oils that might combat the problem. <br />The reason I was wondering is because I was doing some home-made body creams and one was for a friend with children so I didn't put essential oils in and it wen bad rather soon and from the same batch I made myself one with oils and that one is fine.<br />I will definitely check your suggestion. :)Ineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119611878721554991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-59354762405562850032012-05-24T14:57:57.817+02:002012-05-24T14:57:57.817+02:00Hi Ines,

About the health-concerns, there are no proof whatsoever it should be a health issue(that might be what the sales assistant from Vichy was referring to). So my advice is simply try the Vichy again or choose another anti-perspirant (which i btw use all over the body incl. feet). Good luck!Quintusnoreply@blogger.com
