How To Make Homemade Deodorant
One of the most important ways to prevent bad body odor is to eat a healthy diet and drink enough water. You may not have bad odors at all, especially under the armpits, but you are used to using deodorant regularly and can’t live without it, as their scent makes you feel more confident.
If you are one of those people who cannot go a day without deodorant, then you should follow these recommendations so that you can make your own deodorant. These deodorants are natural, so you don’t have to worry about them damaging your skin or containing as many chemicals as store-bought deodorants.
Deodorant with coconut oil and cornflour
You don’t need many ingredients for this recipe. When you make it it will have a very thick texture. You have to shake it a little every time you use it, as you will see that it tends to clump a lot.
The scent is mild and pleasant. Both women and men can use it. You should apply it twice during the day so that you can enjoy the effects all day long.
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
Instructions
- The first step to making this homemade deodorant is to mix the baking soda and cornstarch well.
- Add the coconut oil and beat everything until it has a smooth, but firm texture.
- Then put the mixture in a clean and dry bowl. You can keep this for up to three months.
