Deodorant

[Kem]

Does everyone here wear deodorant? How bad is deodarant that has aluminium in it, really? And do you think if you stop wearing deodorant you gradually smell less?

These are pressing issues which demand attention.

Xena uses aluminium-free deodorant. I use Lynx when I can be arsed. When I step in dog shit, I smell bad no matter what.

 

[Susie]

I think if you live in Australia, you should wear it more than others

Depends on your skin Tanya.

I find that when I use alcohol based deoderant that is aluminium free for too long I have a bad reaction to it, yet I can use alcohol free aluminium based deoderant without any problems.

Fuck knows if its bad for your skin, but it beats having a rash, or smelling like crap.

I use whatever deoderant is on special when i when run out.

Yeah same salty. I've recently made the switch to aluminium free and it always smarts when I put it on after shaving my hippie armpits. I'm just worried about all this stuff you hear about aluminium deodorants being linked to breast cancer and what not.

 

[salty]

everything is linked to some sort of cancer these days. Fucking cancer bastard.

I use Rexona Sport (spray - not aerosole). Its the only one i find that works for a long period. Personally, Lynx has a nice smell and all but it doesn't last like Rexona.

What sort of mascara do all you guys use?

I have a can of that graphite stuff but I rarely use it because it sorta stings a bit.

other than that I just use whatever I find in the bathroom. Usually that's FA or some generic thing that I can't think of the name of.

I just go to the shop that used to be Clints (is it the Warehouse ??), and get a bunch of cans at $2 each.

They are pretty OK.

I don't like the aluminium, and links to Oldsheimer's disease, but if you don't use it you stink.

 

[Spiff]

What sort of mascara do all you guys use?

I don't use mascara - it makes me look like a cheap hooker.

Rouge, on the other hand, makes me look classy.

 

[Sydo]

I smell excellent.

You can buy Tea tree deodorant or crystal deodorant from all health food or food co ops these don't give the same reaction as the ordinary aluminium free deodorants. Kem I know the feeling of shaving the hippie pits and spraying deodorant on after.Or you can go to lush and buy one of their block deodorants.
I have used aluminium free stuff for years.

 

[spawn]

I wish people in mosh pits would use deoderant

 

[Wenda]

Just as an aside, crystal deodorants are usually made of alum crystal, which is an aluminium salt - so they aren't aluminium free

 

[Lord Tim]

I prefer the deodorant with Aluminium because I'm metal.




... *leaves*....

Just as an aside, crystal deodorants are usually made of alum crystal,

Usually, but not exclusively. Health food stores sell aluminium-free crystral deodorants.

I usually use Lynx or Gillette Dufour or something like that, but I actually started getting an itchy as fuck rash a while back, so I have started using some alcohol skin care roll on shit, with doesn't give the me rash and smells alright. Nivea somethingarather I think it is.
