It will kill the bacteria that eats the sebum produced by your underarms causing the smell. In the morning, bathe again (or simply just re-wash your underarms really well with soap), dry your underarms and rub with lemon again. Continue this process every morning and night until you notice the smell is gone. Then you can try skipping the night time application. I haven't worn deodorant or antiperspirant for years now and suffered a good year with the smell before creating this regimen. In the beginning you will notice the smell decreasing daily. It doesn't sting like you think it would, even after shaving. Good luck! I know its a bit of a late response but I hope it helps you or any other reader!lorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00176324462069212788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-55382768015509569272012-01-07T13:47:08.994+00:002012-01-07T13:47:08.994+00:00What can I add to Dr Wood's Tea Tree Castile S...What can I add to Dr Wood's Tea Tree Castile Soap so that it will have a pH of 4 (haven't used it yet, purchasing online now)? I think the pH of my skin might be too high and causing my underarms to have a strong smell. My underarms smell soon after bathing with no deodorant around 45 minutes after. By the way, deodorant with aluminum only works maybe 3 hours. I am attempting to use more natural products so I stopped using Dial Antibacterial Soap (with triclosan) after using it for about 10-15 years. <br /><br />Also would aluminum free baking soda and water mixed together make an effective deodorant? Any suggestions on what to add to make it better? I am a 21 year old woman. Please help :( I am embarrassed in public and even around my family because of my smell.frustratednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-64374194742979228202010-08-03T09:12:23.234+01:002010-08-03T09:12:23.234+01:00Sorry for the late response Nina - The effect shou...Sorry for the late response Nina - The effect should be similar but there may be slight differences.
