Look, we can be brief about this. The answer is yes. But many people do not know what Alum is and what the miraculous effect of this stone is. While cheap deodorants from the supermarket can give you a spontaneous headache, fortunately, there are other options you can explore. That's why today we introduce you to the use of Alum as Deodorant.
What is Alum?
Before we go further into the fine properties that Alum brings as Deodorant, it is important to first know what Alum is.
Alum is a mineral stone obtained from the mountains of Asia Minor. The stone brings many good qualities, created by Mother Earth.
Alum stone is Colour and odorless. Sounds strange. “Deodorant should contain a scent to mask the sweat, right?” Hold on, we will explain more about this soon. Alum has a special effect. The mineral stone is disinfectant and astringent. Because Alum is astringent, it is often used after Shaving. Just dab the wound with Alum and the bleeding stops immediately. This is also the most well-known use of alum stone. Alum as Deodorant is less known, but certainly no less ingenious.
How does Alum work as Deodorant?
It's helpful to know where that sweat odor actually comes from. Sweat is not what smells. No, the waste products of the bacteria on your skin are the culprits. When these bacteria are in your armpits, they are in a warm and humid place. A feast for those waste products. That's where the well-known sweat odor is created.
Alum is a Natural Deodorant and lowers the pH level of your skin. As a result, the bacteria have almost no chance to develop and spread. The sweat droplets from your armpit will therefore not stink. This odorless mineral stone ensures that you do not need to add any extra scent. It actually removes the unpleasant odors.
Advantages of Alum Deodorant
Okay, buckle up. There are quite a few advantages to this fine mineral stone. We are going to tell you about them.
Long-lasting effect
Most Deodorants mask the sweat odor by simply adding another scent. Eventually, this naturally fades. Alum Deodorant works differently, ensuring that bacteria have difficulty spreading, which makes Alum last much longer. How long exactly? That really varies per person and per sweat production.
Cheap and sustainable
Just dabbing your armpits goes a long way. An alum stone lasts incredibly long, making it naturally much cheaper to use!
No skin irritations
Alum is, of course, not called the miracle cure under smooth shavers for nothing. It stops bleeding immediately. This is due to the astringent effect of the alum stone on the skin. It works the same way with sweat, and therefore the skin will not become irritated by alum stone.
Environmentally friendly and 100% natural
The alum stone is made by Mother Earth, and that is naturally a nice idea. The processing process is also natural, so you certainly will not encounter chemical substances. Besides the environment, you also make your armpits happy.
No stains in your Apparel
Because Alum is odorless and colorless, it will not stain your Apparel. Alum is completely soluble in water. So those annoying yellow stains on your new white t-shirt are a thing of the past.
Your skin can keep breathing
Those drugstore deodorant sprays create a thick layer of chemical junk under your armpits. The result is that your skin can no longer breathe and becomes clogged. Alum stone does not create that layer, allowing your skin to keep breathing. The pores remain naturally open without any bad odors coming out. Much healthier! Unwanted skin reactions are certainly not applicable here.
How do you use Alum as deodorant?
Now that you've read all those great things about alum stone, we hope you're a bit convinced. But then the question remains: “how do you use Alum deodorant then?” We will tell you, it's actually quite simple. Alum stone is available as a stone, stick, and matchstick. The usage is the same in every form. Rub the stone (or stick, or matchstick) under your armpit. Let it dry for a moment and you're ready to go. Easy as pie.
Is Alum deodorant suitable for you?
Everyone can use Alum as Deodorant. It has no specific scent, works well against irritations, is good for the environment, and good for every wallet. So the conclusion is simple: Alum is suitable for everyone.
