i use lemon as a natural deodorant for myself :) just a few drops of the juice under my armpit and i am fine for the day! works 99% for me :) i do natural cosmetics, like sunscreen, creams, tooth pastes, but never deodorant :) i am too happy with the lemon :)
i resteemed it, for others to lean about the essential oil also! :D super informative post! :)
That is a fantastic idea @purplemoon! I make my own natural cosmetics and put lemon essential oils in most of them. Thank you for the resteem
do you also do deodorant with lemon e.o. inside? how does it do with the sun? The reason why I don't use lemon in my creams because is photosensitive, what's your experience with it? Very interested on the topic! :D
Yes I use the e.o in the deodorant @purplemoon. But I make a dry one, in small quantities, and it lives in the cupboard. I must say I had a rather amusing first experience with how volatile citrus e.o are! I made a gardening body butter with grapefruit, lime and lemon. In the middle of summer. And it got a bit of sun. The thing became volcanic and I had this curdled cream mess oozing all over the place! Live and learn
