Hey Guys! Over the course of the past two weeks I have been taking the Native Deodorant Challenge! I was originally nominated to do this challenge by my insta friend Chelsea from @chelseaasoflate. I was super excited to try this brand out since I know she as well as many of my other friends had raved over this deodorant! I wanted to create this post to recap my experience and give my final thoughts! Hope you guys enjoy!

First things first…

Why Native?

Most Deodorants that are commonly used also are Antiperspirants. That means that those products contain the ingredient aluminum which keeps you from sweating by acting as a plug on your body’s sweat ducts, but also can be pretty harmful to the body! Native is a natural, aluminum free, paraben free, and safe option to use as a deodorant! Native is also a cruelty free company which is always a major plus! They say it can take a few days for your body to adjust so that is why I decided to take the challenge! Here are my thoughts on how it went!

The Two Week Challenge

Like I mentioned, it can take your body a bit to adjust to Native. The first few days of using this deodorant I definitely did notice myself sweating much more than usual. I was expecting this since I assumed my body was pretty dependent on the aluminum in my typical deodorants I was using prior! I do want to be super honest and real with you guys though so you know what to expect! I would definitely recommend choosing a time to start this deodorant when you won’t be doing as much sweating or exercising for the first few days! Or if you do, just plan on having to reapply a few times throughout the day and expect more sweat and a bit more B/O than normal! After the first few days I could notice my body slowly adjusting! By the time I was a week in the sweating had stopped and the need to reapply throughout the day became less and less! Now that I have finished my two weeks of using the product I feel like this Deodorant is doing wonders for me! I feel totally adjusted and it has been amazing! I honestly feel like it is working better for me than any deodorant ever has which is crazy!

Final Thoughts

Is switching to Native worth it? 100% YES! I definitely think the small adjusting period is worth the long term benefits not only am I saying away from toxic chemicals, aluminum, and parabens, but I also feel like I am producing much less Body Odor than I would normally with my past deodorants! Not to mention, the scents that they carry are SO amazing and refreshing! I also feel less dirty at the end of the day. With my past deodorants, I use to always feel like I had a build up of deodorant under my arms each day! Now they feel very clean and refreshed almost like I have nothing on at all! For me, Native was a huge win, win!

Now I want to nominate a few more of my internet friends to take this deodorant to the test! @peaceofusx and @tallblondebell, I hope you are up for the challenge! Make sure to follow along to see their thoughts on their journey as the make the switch!
