The Green Women kindly sent me two jars to review of both their original (women's) and sensitive deodorant creams. I was quite excited to try these out as I had never tried a cream deodorant before! The Fit Pit Original for women is lightly perfumed with rosemary and bergamot essential oils which are both said to sooth and lift your mood, I'm not too keen on this scent as rosemary isn't to my taste. Because of this I much prefer the sensitive one as it doesn't have a scent to it. I also really like the packaging of the deodorants as the glass jar is both reusable and recyclable. To use both deodorants simply apply a pea sized amount to your underarms with fingertips in the morning or after bathing. The deodorants then simply melt when contacted to warm skin. When using the deodorants I found it pleasant to apply due to the creaminess of them. I also felt like I didn't need to hand around waiting for the deodorants to dry and I was left without any white stains on my clothing. I found that I didn't sweat as much throughout the day, but I was left with a dry feeling under my arms at the end of the day. Bicarbonate of soda subtly alters your skins natural pH, which prevents smell causing bacteria from thriving. Unlike some deodorants it doesn't merely mask bad smell, it prevents it. And unlike antiperspirants it doesn't block your sweat glands, which means your body can still remove toxins, making it even healthier for you. I even got my Mum to try out these deodorants, she ended up really liking them and has been using them for the past few months now!
Please note: If you have been using a mainstream anti-antiperspirant, this will probably have coated your skin and clothes. It may take several days for this residue to leave your skin.
