How to make natural deodrant:

• Explore natural brands. Many people prefer to use natural deodorant. For some it is about avoiding artificial ingredients that they can’t pronounce; for others it is a desire not to interfere with the body’s natural sweating process. Whatever your reason, there are many natural choices on the market.As with all products, people find natural deodorant to be of varying levels of efficacy. You’ll have to experiment to find what works for you.However, many people find that roll-ons and sprays work better than sticks. You will not find natural antiperspirant.

• Make your own. Plant oils and extracts have been proven to have antimicrobial effects. These oils can be combined with other readily accessible ingredients. Try combining solids like beeswax, cocoa butter, or shea butter with oils including thyme, rosemary, or lavender.
Baking soda is also a common ingredient in homemade deodorant.

• Experiment to see if you really need deodorant. While wanting to smell nice is not a new phenomenon, it was not easy to convince American consumers to buy deodorant. Keep in mind that companies’ business depends on convincing you that you stink! There is actually a single gene that controls whether or not you have the chemical that bacteria like to feed on, causing smelly sweat. If you don’t have this gene, you don’t need deodorant. Short of coding your DNA, you can get an idea of whether you have this gene or not by looking at your earwax, which is controlled by the same gene. If it’s dry and flaky, you likely do not produce stinky sweat. Of course, no one needs deodorant for health reasons. It’s not something you need to spend money on just because everyone else does.

How to try a perfume: • Try a fragrance quiz. Sometimes, visiting the perfume counter can be overwhelming. To help you narrow down what you might like, try taking an online fragrance-finder quiz. That way, you'll have a place to start when you get to the store. You can find a fragrance quiz by doing a simple search, but many major perfume websites also have them. You can also test out samples that come in magazines or ask people you know what their scent is if you like it. • Skip applying fragrances before you go shopping. When you go to the store, you want a blank canvas, so to speak. Skip putting on any perfume that morning so it won't compete. Also, skip other items you use with strong scents, such as lotions and body washes. • Spray it on a card. The first step to testing a perfume is spraying it on a card.

How to make your own fruit lip balm using essential oils: • Put together a double boiler. Fill a saucepan with 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 centimeters) of water, then put a heat-safe bowl on top. Make sure that the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. • Add the coconut oil and beeswax (if desired) into the bowl. The beeswax will help give the lip balm a firmer texture and make it less gooey. If you end up using the beeswax, try to get it in flake or pellet form. This will help it melt quicker and easier. If you can't get beeswax in either form, shave it using a cheese grater. • Heat the coconut oil and beeswax over medium-high heat until they melt. Stir them from time to time. This will ensure that they melt evenly. Both ingredients will turn clear once they melt. • Remove the bowl from the saucepan, and stir in the vitamin E oil.
