The G-O On Deo
Here at THE FILE, we take personal hygiene very seriously.
I mean, when summer in Australia hits 40 degrees and rising, a few spritzes of Gypsy Water will only get you so far (about six steps out the door, probably).
And since body odour is never a good idea, you need to call-in the big guns that will make sure there’s nothing but fresh air under there.
Most hardcore ones come packed with toxic ingredients and scents that are just a little bit wrong, so we tried and tested some alternatives and were very pleasantly surprised to find some fragrance-free and natural options that work around the clock.
Click through to see five of our favourites that really go the distance.
Superbly efficient is no false claim.
If you can get over the fact that this stuff comes in the form of a cream that you have to rub onto your underarms sans roller ball, you’ll find the pros definitely outweigh the cons.
It’s heavy duty, and it lasts all day.
Yes, you read correctly – 48 hours – as in, two whole days without a hint of perspiration. Not the way nature intended it to be, sure… but if you want something that really goes the distance, this won’t disappoint.
The fragrance free formula uses natural deodorant actives and Equisetum extract to fight-off sweat and body odour.
Disclaimer: a shower every now and then is strongly recommended.
This eucalyptus-based deodorant opens-up the pores under your pits and retrains and rebalances your body so it produces less odour.
It can take up to two weeks to work its magic if you’ve been using a standard deodorant, but if you’re after a natural alternative then this is it. Its also alcohol and aluminium free. Winning!
If bang for your buck is what you’re after, look no further – Rexona’s Ultra Dry, Clinical Protection Anti-Perspirant Deodorant is where it’s at.
Sure, we love our luxury brands and pretty packaging, but when something really works, we’ll back it.
This unisex deodorant spray uses a powerful combination of eleven essential oils to neutralise body odour. The formula is aluminium-free, and if you’re a fan of Aesop’s aromatic scents, you’ll be hooked.
