Continued from our Retreat & Renew Daily Tip.

To custom-blend your deodorant at home (and pay mere pennies), give this DIY recipe a try:

In a jar with a lid, combine equal parts baking soda, cornstarch and coconut oil. A good measure to use is ¼ cup of each. Blend well (soften the coconut oil first if needed). Add 5-10 drops of your favorite essential oil blend, avoiding citrus oils that can irritate the underarm area. Keep your deodorant in a cool, dry place and use your hands to apply a small amount to clean skin daily.

There you have it but keep in mind this is not an antiperspirant (won’t stop you from sweating), but it will leave you smelling fresh as a daisy. Or smelling like a rose, whichever you prefer!
