A DIY Video :: A Thoughtful DIY Gift for Dad: Homemade Roll-On Deodorant!
Here’s an easy DIY gift for Dad! Join me in making a simple roll-on deodorant for Father’s Day. In just a few steps, you'll create an all-natural, super soft, and lightweight roll-on that seamlessly blends into the skin.
Delve into the wonders of this homemade deodorant and unveil the secrets of its efficacy:
Witch hazel takes the lead by eliminating excess oil and restoring your skin's pH balance, providing a fresh and invigorating sensation.
Baking soda, renowned for its odor-neutralizing properties, ensures effective deodorization throughout the day, leaving you feeling confident and fresh.
Aloe vera contributes to the overall texture and feel of the deodorant, helping it glide smoothly onto the skin, holding all the ingredients together harmoniously, and moisturizing your delicate underarm skin.
It's important to note that this deodorant does not function as an antiperspirant. I believe in allowing your body's natural processes to unfold. Sweating is a natural and healthy way for your body to eliminate toxins, and this deodorant recipe respects this. I find that over time as I embrace the body's natural rhythm, I notice a reduction in odor and wetness, allowing me to feel more comfortable and confident.
The recipe is below for easy reference. Enjoy crafting and celebrating Dad's special day!
Ingredients:
1-1/2 tablespoons of unscented witch hazel
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1-1/2 teaspoons of aloe vera gel
12 drops of an essential oil of your choice
