Last month I made a big effort to use more natural products, including natural deodorant and organic moisturizers.

In the beginning it was fine, and I didn’t notice any difference from my un-organic products. Then, about two weeks later I noticed that I was a bit smelly and was sweating more than I was used to. I thought it was because I was stressed at work and my hormones (smell) were a bit different. But, three weeks in, I knew there was a problem.

Natural deodorant does not work for me. This is the second time I’ve tried to use it, and both times within three weeks of regular use I got really smelly and all my clothes had a lingering sweat scent.

So for now, I’m back to regular deodorant. No more lichen and moss deo for me!
