Baking soda makes a good deodorant

Baking soda (Bicarbonate of soda) makes an excellent underarm deodorant, to combat body odor. It is non toxic and it works for hours.

Use a powder puff and dip it into some baking soda and apply to the required areas.

Smart Idea Comments By: Winnie Thank you for an excellent holistically natural, cost effective tip that is non-toxic....that works!   And................................... Comments By: nicoleo Is that all you do? will it work for whole whole day? if not, then baby powder might be a better idea to put on, just because it's scented!! but great idea. thanks!   fab Comments By: Anon I`ve now been using baking soda for the past month and i`m absolutely thrilled, it totally neutralises body odour and I seem to perspire less now than when using normal deodorant - much cheaper too!!   side effect of baking soda Comments By: Anon Baking soda as a deodorant really works, but since I've been using it for quite sometime, I've developed darkening of my armpits and sometimes itchiness also occurs. Now I don't know if I should stop using it and how I'll be able to get rid of the darkening.
