Look, we can be brief about this. The answer is yes. But many people don't know what alum is and what its miraculous effects are. Whereas cheap deos from the supermarket will give you a spontaneous headache, fortunately there are other options you can explore. Hence, today we introduce you to the use of alum as a deodorant.
What is alum?
Before we move on to the fine properties that alum brings with it as a deodorant, it is important to know what alum is in the first place.
Alum is a mineral stone mined in the mountains of Asia Minor. The stone brings with it many good qualities created by Mother Earth.
Alum stone is colorless and odorless. Sounds crazy. "Isn't deodorant supposed to contain fragrance precisely to mask sweat?" Hold on, we're going to explain more about this in a moment. Alum has a special effect. The mineral stone is disinfecting and hemostatic. Because alum is hemostatic, it is often used after shaving. Just touch the wound with alum and the bleeding stops immediately. Therefore, this is the most well-known version of using alum stone. Alum as a deodorant is less well known, but certainly no less ingenious.
How does alum as a deodorant work?
It's helpful to know where that sweat smell actually comes from. After all, sweat is not what smells. No, it's the waste products from the bacteria on your skin that are the culprits. So when these bacteria are in your armpits, they're in a warm and sweltering place. A feast for those waste products. That's where the familiar sweat smell is created.
Alum is a natural deodorant and lowers the PH level of your skin. This gives the bacteria virtually no chance to develop and spread. So the sweat droplets from your armpit won't smell for that reason, either. So that odorless mineral stone ensures that you don't need to add any additional odor at all. It actually takes away the unpleasant odors.
Benefits of alum deodorant
Okay, buckle up. You see, there are quite a few benefits to this fine mineral stone. We're going to tell you about them.
Long-lasting effect.
Most deodorants mask the smell of sweat by simply throwing another air against it. In time, of course, this fades again. Alum deodorant works differently; it makes it difficult for bacteria to spread, so alum works much longer. How long exactly? Surely that really varies per person and per sweat production.
Cheap and durable
Just brushing your armpits goes a long way. So an alum stone lasts an incredibly long time, which of course also makes it a lot cheaper to use!
No skin irritations
There is a reason why alum is the miracle cure for razors. It stops blood immediately. This is due to the astringent effect of the alum stone on the skin. Of course, this works the same way with sweat, which is why alum stone will not irritate the skin.
Environmentally friendly and 100% natural
The alum stone is made by Mother Earth, which of course is a nice idea. The processing process is also natural, so you definitely won't encounter any chemicals. So in addition to the environment, you will also make your armpits happy.
No stains in your clothes
Because alum is odorless and colorless, it will not stain your clothes. Alum is completely soluble in water. So those irritating yellow stains in your new white t-shirt are a thing of the past.
Your skin can continue to breathe
Those drugstore deobusses create a thick layer of chemical junk under your armpits. As a result, your skin can no longer breathe and becomes clogged. Alum stone does not create that layer, allowing your skin to continue to breathe. The pores stay open naturally, with no foul odors coming out. Way healthier! Therefore, unwanted skin reactions are definitely not an issue here.
How to use alum as deo?
After you've now read all these fine things about alum stone, we hope you're already a bit converted. But then the question remains, "how do you use alum deo then?" We're going to tell you, as it's quite simple. Alum stone is available as stone, stick and match. The usage is the same in each form. Rub the stone (or stick, or match) under your armpit. Let dry for a moment and you're good to go. Child's play.
Is alum deo right for you?
Anyone can use alum as a deodorant. It has no specific smell, works well against irritations, is good for the environment and good for every wallet. The conclusion is simple: alum is suitable for everyone.
