Beauty Review: Does Clarsskin Underarm Cleanser Actually Work?

I hate it when my favorite blouse gets ruin because of pit stains and I always asked myself, “Is there a cleanser out there that’s made specifically for the underarms?” My question has finally been answered thanks to my discovery of Clarsskin Underarm Cleanser.

Here’s what it claims straight from the website:

Clarsskin Underarm Cleanser contains a unique patent pending combination of an effective chelating agent with special agents. This complex mixture is specifically designed to remove antiperspirant deodorant residue, efficiently and mildly. So what’s so special about chelating agents? Chelating agents have the capability of penetrating the residue left behind by antiperspirant deodorants — including the metallic salts they are made of! They do one thing and do it well! Clarsskin Underarm Cleanser is particularly effective with ingredients that are unusually mild but contain no sulfates, paraben and DEA.

Clarsskin is pretty much a body wash that’s made specially for your underarm to remove any traces of deodorant residue that your normal body wash can’t. I always struggled with removing deodorant residue from my underarms. No matter how long or how hard you scrub you are still left with traces.

My review: After using the cleanser for a couple of weeks, I realized that it truly does work. My underarms feel different so I did notice an effect. The cleanser was able to remove the excess deodorant from my armpits and it felt clean. The packaging is very nice and easy to use too. You just open the cleanser and squeeze. That’s it! The one thing I disliked though is the price. For $22, I feel it’s a bit pricey for such a small bottle (4 oz). I wish it was a little bit bigger; but, it’s worth it in the end if you are tired of seeing yellow pit stains all over your favorite blouses and shirts. Overall I give this cleanser a 4/5.

Lavanila The Healthy Deodorant

Whether or not you need to wear a deodorant year round, summer is the time to ensure you stay fresh and dry. Protect your most delicate summer dresses and maintain a sweet smelling scent all thru the warmest days of summer. But many deodorants contain pesky chemicals you want to avoid such as aluminum, sulfates or petro-chemicals. Say hello to Lavanila’s The Healthy Deodorant. We are already fans of Lavanila’s exotic scented fragrances, bath washes and of course beautifully packaged non-toxic candles all infused with essential oils, active botanicals, and antioxidants.

The Lavanila Healthy Deodorant is a clinical strength and 100% natural and does not contain any parabens, sulfates, synthetic dyes, petro-chemicals or phalates. It uses beta-glucan technology to fight odor while soothing the skin with no gooey residue, and delivers long-lasting, luxurious results.

So far, I’ve been very pleased with Lavanila’s deodorant. It does a fantastic job keeping myself fresh and dry and it comes with a variety of pleasant scents. The Vanilla Lavender smells amazing but I’ve also tried other scents such as Vanilla coconut, Vanilla Grapefruit, and Vanilla Passion Fruit. The deodorant does deliver long-lasting odor protection. I only wish I found out about this brand sooner! It’s with me wherever I go whether it’s to the gym or when I’m partying at a club. Price wise, I say its a fair deal but nothing is more beneficial than having an all-natural, green product free from all those nasty chemicals.

You can find Lavanila online such as Beauty.com or at stores such as Sephora and Nordstrom’s.

Have you ever tried Lavanila’s deodorant brand? If so, what do you love about it and why? Please share!

Hot & Chic Deodorette by Mbeze

Here’s a hot new product from Mbeze, a natural skincare line. They are introducing a new product called Deodorette, a deodorant with a cool and chic look. These fun little deodorettes are so small that it can fit inside your purse, bag or even your pocket. With these on the go deodorant sticks, you can freshen up whenever or wherever! I love to store these cute mini deodorettes in my purse whenever I’m heading to the gym or if I’m going to a club to dance the night away. All products are made with all natural and organic ingredients (that’s always a plus!). It contains no aluminum, parabens, and propylene glycol. It’s also cruelty free which is always a good thing.

So far this product sounds amazing! It’s too bad that we don’t see too many brands offering this type of product. It’s great for the smaller brands because they can introduce a unique product to the market but as consumers, our shopping options are limited. I’m so glad I came across this product.

There are 8 different Deodorettes to choose from:

Aim to Be Pleased
Cruizee
Ife
Koko Haze
Me fragrance Free
Once Bitten
Sweet Sanura
Twice Shy

So far I’ve tried Aimed to Please and so far I love it! The Deodorette sticks will run you about $10 a pop; but, Mbeze.com is running a sale where if you by 1 Deodorette you can get the 2nd one for 50% off! Mbeze.com is also supporting breast cancer by teaming up with The Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation and donating 10% for each Deodorette that they sale. So not only will you get a great discount, you will be helping out an important cause too! Check out the site, for more details and get your own Deodorette while the sale last.
