Why do I still smell when switching to natural deodorant?Updated a month ago

A bit of extra odour in the early days is normal, especially if you're coming off an antiperspirant. It's the adjustment period, and for most people it settles within a week or two - for some it takes longer, and that's normal too.

A few things can be going on:

• Your underarms are getting used to a different kind of product, and that takes a little time
• Some buildup on the skin from your old deodorant
• Your pits could do with a more thorough wash than usual
• A different Woohoo scent or strength might suit you better - we're all a bit different

A warm, soapy wash with a washer each day is the first thing to try, and the Armpit Detox Mask once or twice a week clears away the buildup while you settle in. If your skin's already sore or irritated, skip the mask and start here instead.

And if the odour hangs around, or you're not sure which formula is right for you, get in touch and we can help you work it out.
