More on using essential oils as natural deodorants
To make a natural underarm deodorant consider other essential oils. Many people are concerned at putting the chemicals to be found in deodorants on their skin. Deodorants work by creating a more acid, inhospitable environment to odor-producing bacteria, while antiperspirants clog or block the pores, cutting down on the amount of perspiration that leaves the body, thus giving the bacteria less to feed on.
