Curie's Armpit Mask Makes the Transition to Natural Deodorant Less Smelly

Publish date: 2024-05-03

If you've ever switched to an aluminum-free deodorant before, you're probably familiar with the smelly in-between period as your body adjusts to the natural formula. While it's ultimately worth it to avoid chemicals in your deodorant, that uncomfortable transition time can be frustrating. That's why natural skin care brand Curie created the Clay Detox Mask, a purifying activated charcoal mask for your armpits.

In typical deodorants, aluminum plugs your sweat glands to prevent you from perspiring. When you stop using it, you are "releasing waste which has been blocked," Dr. Guiseppe Aragona, medical advisor at Prescription Doctor, previously told Real Simple. He added that the sweat itself doesn't smell, but rather the bacteria that grows on it. So once you allow your body to naturally flush out the built-up sweat, the unpleasant odor should disappear.

During the transition period, you can use the Clay Detox Mask to help remove impurities and toxins. Simply apply a thin layer to your cleansed underarms, let it dry for five to 10 minutes, gently remove it with warm water or a washcloth, and apply your natural deodorant.

Since last month, sales for the armpit detox mask have increased by 170 percent, according to the brand, and 95 percent of those sales came directly from TikTok. Content creators have been amazed by how the product helps them sweat less and smell better. In a video with over 11,000 views, @nicolconcilio used the armpit mask and then put it to the test by doing activities outside for a few hours. "I really do feel like I didn't sweat as much under my pits as I normally would," they said.

The best is that you can also use the mask to unclog the pores on your face. It's made with facial-grade ingredients, so you can apply it on areas with extra blackheads to detoxify, clarify, and cleanse your skin.

Whether you want to sweat less, remove smelly bacteria from under your arms, or use a spa-like product on your face, the Curie Clay Detox Mask is for you. Plus, shop the brand's all-natural deodorant below to complete your collection.
