Lemon deodorant anyone?

Did you guys know that lemons can be used as deodorant? Yes, the fruit lemon. All by itself! The citric acid in it kills bacteria and odor. I’d been looking for a more natural deodorant when my sister told me about using lemon. I started using it a few months ago and I love it! I can skip a day and not stink, which is great because I do forget to apply it sometimes. You can get 3 for less than $2 at the supermarket. I cut mine in half, give it a little squeeze to get a little juice out and rub it under my arms a few times. I keep the lemon refrigerated. I also leave them open because I tried keeping it in a zip lock bag and I think it spoiled faster. Once the top dries out, just cut it off. Keep using and cutting until it’s done. FYI, don’t use it under freshly shaved pits. It’ll definitely burn. Give it a day or two after you shave to use it again.

    I had to show this post to my mom. She always used to tell us they never used deodorant growing up they just squeezed lemon and rubbed the juice under their arm. Think I will try it.
