The Natural Way to Stay Fresh This Summer
With one of the hottest summers in memory upon us, it can become increasingly difficult to manage sweat and the debilitating body odor that comes with it. And with some of the worst of the summer heat still ahead, it can be scarier than ever to face the sun and keep all that pesky odor away.
If you're worried about all this sweating, you're not alone. In fact, 60 percent of people are embarrassed by the idea of sweat stains, and 58 percent believe sweat stains are more embarrassing than other characteristics they may not like about themselves, such as obesity and acne. (1)
But there is a way you can not only reduce body odor, but increase your self-confidence and mental health, giving you the confidence you need to make this your greatest summer ever.
In this blog we talk about how you can enjoy ODOR-FREE DAYS & FEEL-GOOD NIGHTS all summer long!
NATURAL ODOR CONTROL
The first thing to know about magnesium is that it's a natural mineral. And if you're wondering if it belongs in deodorant that comes into direct contact with your skin, know this: it's already in your body.
Yup, that's right. Magnesium is a macro-mineral that is not only found naturally in our bodies, but also in much of the foods we eat that nourish our bodies, such as spinach, seeds, nuts, bananas, legumes, and squash, which all help balance bodily function. (2)
And magnesium is not just a great deodorizer. In fact, magnesium plays a role in more than 300 enzyme reactionary processes all across your body, helping to regulate your blood pressure, boost your immune system, and support your nerve and muscle function. (3)
FUN FACT: In some states, the hottest days of the year are not in June or July, but August. Maximize your sweat protection today by using a magnesium deodorant with natural fragrances, and make this your coolest month ever! (4)
In addition to all the great and necessary functions magnesium performs in your body, it is also an amazing ALL-NATURAL DEODORANT that will help fight odor as a result of excess sweating, which is especially important in August and September.
This is important to know, as many people are tricked into purchasing over-the-counter products that contain dangerous artificial chemicals, preservatives, and ingredients like aluminum in this extra-hot summer month, when magnesium is a healthy ALL-NATURAL ALTERNATIVE that will get rid of your body odor, while also providing you the health boost your body needs. (5)
Another amazing attribute of magnesium for body odor reduction is that it doesn't irritate your skin, which means no breakouts or pore blockages because it doesn't use synthetics to clog pores or block your sweat ducts. (6)
A BETTER OPTION
To better understand the relationship between magnesium and body odor, we need to understand its relationship to bacteria. And new research is shedding new light on magnesium's ability to disrupt biofilm formation, as well disrupt the formation of bacterial communities.
Magnesium is so effective at disrupting bacterial communities that many people are realizing they're not getting enough magnesium to maintain optimal bacteria-free health. This is supported by the fact that magnesium is even being used to develop healthier and safer food free from dangerous bacteria. (7)
So, what does all this have to do with your armpits and body odor? Well, body odor occurs when sweat mixes with the bacteria already on your skin, which causes that oniony smell you definitely don't want. (8)
FUN FACT: A deficiency in magnesium can actually contribute to more body odor! Fight body odor and smell great all summer long by using natural ingredients that don't mask odor, but actually neutralize odor-causing bacteria! (9)
Now that we know magnesium is effective at reducing body odor upon contact, it's important to point out the other way magnesium stops sweating and body odor: by reducing stress and anxiety.
New studies show that magnesium helps regulate and manage the neurotransmission of your normal stress response. Conversely, low magnesium has been linked to psychological stress, which can lead to additional sweating and body odor. (10)
This link is further bolstered by the fact that magnesium is recommended to help fight anxiety, and deficiencies in magnesium actually cause greater susceptibility to stress disorders. (10) (11)
The hotter the day, the harder your deodorant should work.
