If you've always wanted to switch to a natural deodorant but have been a tad apprehensive about the potential armpit detox that comes with it (a.k.a the adjustment period where you may smell a bit funkier than usual as your skin's pH balances out), now is the best time to give it a go since, ya know, we're all spending more time at home.
