I struggled with really bad (and I mean, REALLY bad) underarm odor since I was a young teen. I was using tawas at the start then switched to antiperspirant deodorant when the smell got stronger. I’ve tried all forms of antiperspirant deodorant - spray, stick, roll-on, gel, and lotion type. Nothing worked.

I got desperate and started searching for “hacks” and “tips” on how to get rid of B.O. and tried almost everything. From making sure to take a bath twice a day to buying different kinds of products. These are a some things I’ve done, to name a few:

• daily bath + deodorant
• switched to men’s deodorant when the underarm smell got stronger
• applied benzoyl peroxide 2x a week
• laser underarm hair removal
• changed diet
• applied lemon juice / apple cider vinegar / baking soda on my UA
• bought “organic” deodorant from Healthy Options

Still, nothing worked. Then I decided to stop using deodorant completely. It was a risk but it was the only thing I wasn’t able to try. At first, I really SMELLED. I had to keep wiping my underarms with wipes, alcohol, or washing it in a bathroom even when I would be out in public.

I knew I had to detox from deodorant so I remained persistent. I began to notice that my BO started to go away a few months into my detox. When I reached a year, I found out about Nuud deodorant which I applied 1-2x a week. Eventually, I didn’t have to put anything on my underarms and I wouldn’t smell! The detox worked!

It’s been 3 years since I threw out all my deodorant and said goodbye forever. Now, I don’t put any deodorant at all and I don’t smell. Of course, there are certain days when there is a little smell especially when it’s very hot or when I’m working out but definitely not as horrible as before. In fact, I think I may be the only one who can smell it. I’ve also been using glycolic acid 1-2x a week for whitening and to kill bacteria.

To those struggling with underarm BO, don’t give up! Maybe all you need is a detox.

EDIT: Some comments are saying this is an ad for Nuud but let me add that I also use Coconut Matter Natural Deodorant on rare times when I feel like I’m going to be very sweaty (maybe 2-3 times a month lang).

My understanding (& research) of body odor going away WITHOUT deodorant is that deodorant changes the types of bacteria living in your armpit. When you stop using antiperspirant, the environment (armpit) gradually returns to a more normal, balanced mix, and smell becomes milder. Deodorants also block sweat glands so bacteria + blocked glands = bad body odor.

Paano niyo napapakinis ang puwet niyo? Hahahaha. Naiingit ako sa mga may makinis na puwet. Aside sa hair removal, mga mga routine ba kayo or products na nilalagay?

I know curly hair is really beautiful and I love it. It just takes a long time to do a whole routine and costs a lot of products just for it to get ruined by the weather and humidity.

I got to the point that I just want to straighten my hair from time to time. I tried it before but I can't still find a routine that works for me. It ends up becoming frizzy in just an hour.

For curly girls who tried straightening their hair during this rainy season, is it worth it? And if yes, help a girl out and drop your routine, products and tools you use to make it last long.

Heading to HCM soon and I’m looking for recos for good local brands! Anything from skincare, hair care, fragrance, and makeup

Prio is fragrance though as I always bring home something perfume-related as my souvenir.

P.S. Spa recos also welcome 🤣

And I don't just mean pinaka long lasting.

I can't find the perfect lip tint that checks all the boxes.

• Detail Jelly blur - too sheer and fades too easily. Onting yap lang wala na sya.

• BLK Airy Matte tint - the best Ive tried so far but it doesn't stain that well. There's a stain if nag fade lang naturally but the stain it leaves is so easy to remove even with just a plain wet wipe

• Velvetint - Also good but same with BLK it doesn't really stain that well plus the shade range isn't that good. It's mostly just different variations of pink with 2 bold reds

• Happy skin Lip Mallow - clings sa dry patches and the shades all look pretty similar once they're on your lips na.

I know there are a lot more lip tints out there pero idk which ones to try first lol

Let's take a break from beauty and talk about...anything else under the sun! Let this be your sounding board about the things that made you laugh, smile, or cry. Dating advice welcome. Politics...not really.
