Once you try a DIY armpit detox, you may decide to make it a regular part of your DIY skincare routine. It is not a substitute for the DIY deodorant. Instead, it is like a little underarm reset in preparation for deodorant. There are many different types of DIY armpit detox recipes and methods. Thus far, I have not been disappointed with even the simplest DIY armpit detox powder. So, the slightly more elaborate DIY armpit detox mask and DIY armpit detox scrubs are sure to please.
Purpose: Break down deodorant product build-up, eliminate odor, and destroy bacteria.
Benefits: Unclog the sweat glands, reduce odor causing bacteria, restore pH, smell fresh.

Armpit Sweat Glands
The armpit sweat glands naturally produce sweat to (1) help regulate the body temperature and in doing so, (2) it releases natural toxins or “byproducts” from the body that would otherwise be excreted in the urine. If your armpit sweat glands become blocked, another area of the body will compensate for the blockage. For example, some years ago I used a Certain Dri Clinical Strength Antiperspirant. This antiperspirant did indeed keep my armpits dry for some days. However, for the days that my armpits remained dry, I developed a sudden, temporary case of sweaty hands. So, the sweat still found a way out of the body by means of another route.
So, while an armpit detox may not be the most accurate description, I am a huge fan of using the DIY armpit detox recipes. They will leave you smelling and feeling fresher and cleaner than when you use just soap and water. At the time of this writing, the DIY Armpit Detox Without Clay is my favorite. It works like an underarm mask while you are taking a shower. It leaves a smelly pit noticeably fresh in the short period of time that it takes to take a shower. My second favorite is the DIY Armpit Detox With Baking Soda because it smells like cinnamon. Some people want to use a DIY armpit detox with baking soda because baking soda is known to be a natural odor eliminator. However, while it may temporarily eliminate odor, the pH of baking soda is not the ideal pH for using underneath the arms.
