STOP THE PRESS EVERYONE! I have an announcement! I am a Beautycounter Consultant!!! How did I get here? One word. DEODORANT. There is a point to all of this, bear with me….
What is the big deal about deodorant? I have been on a search for an aluminum/paraben-free deodorant for several years. You name em’, I have tried them! The common thread was, they never worked. I always reverted back to my antiperspirant that I knew was harmful because who wants to be stinky? Am I right?
Health is an inside job via nutrition and as a nutrition coach I am not only concerned with what I am putting into my body, but I am equally concerned with what I am putting on my skin, pores, etc. You with me? As I continue to move across the continuum of health, the discovery of harmful chemicals found in my cosmetics and personal health products have become more and more alarming. So let’s start with one of the major ingredients found in antiperspirants and deodorant. Aluminum. Yes, the actual metal, aluminum. Aluminum acts as a barrier to our sweat ducts to stop us from sweating. Why is this a problem? We are supposed to sweat. It’s our body’s way of removing toxins from our body. Another alarming thing about Aluminum——-it can lead to DNA damage to cells. No bueno.
Let’s dive into another harmful ingredient often found in personal care products. Parabens. Parabens are used to preserve products. Parabens are also disruptors to our endocrine system-hormones. Check the labels on your body lotion, shampoo, etc. Not to mention all the fragrances that are in our personal care products that are loaded toxic chemicals that companies actually do not have to fully disclose to the consumer. Are you freaking out? Relax. I have finally found something that actually works and does not have any scary ingredients. I’m talking alll day long protection, after workouts….There is a better option!
