I was always afraid to use anything on my face for years; I always assumed that:
1. Products would trigger breakouts.
2. I didn't need additional sun protection because of my skin color.
3. My overall habits didn't impact my skin.
I was really wrong!
I was really wrong!
I took for granted that my skin will, by the grace of God, have to last me through my 30s, 40s, and decades to come. When I crossed the threshold of 25, I really started researching skin care products, I developed a routine (my almost 30 routine), and started loving on my skin.

I made the best DIY natural deodorant in the world. I have been trying to fight the battle against BO naturally for a few months now, sometimes unsuccessfully. I have tried nearly half a dozen natural deodorants with varying degrees of failure.
A few months ago I found a really awesome natural deodorant recipe in a natural living magazine and tried it, though it worked perfectly for my sister (who cannot use traditional deodorant because it causes chronic painful sewage smelling cysts beneath her armpits) the baking soda threw off the pH balance beneath my husband and I's armpits and irritated our skin. My husband went back to the traditional deodorant, but of all the research on traditional deodorant ingredients convinced me never to return to it again (even at the risk of smelling musty).
For weeks I tried many different store bought natural deodorants. I was wiping down my pits three times a day at the office and re-applying the mediocre store-bought stuff just to maintain my personal hygiene! On several special occasions, I re-visited some of the homemade batch my sister was happily using and risked the irritation (which usually takes a few days to set in).
Finally, after some additional research, I found a recipe that seems to be working WITHOUT the skin irritation of the baking soda (I'm a few days in).
