Deoderant Fail
I have to be honest because blogs are all about honesty, right? I am not wearing deoderant today. Before you gasp in horror, let me explain. I had a major deoderant fail. I always use the Secret Clinical Strength in the unscented hypoallergenic. Well, on Saturday when I ran out of deoderant, we stopped at Bi-Lo on our way to Charleston and all they had in the clinical strength was the lightly scented. I didn't think this would be a problem and I needed deoderant, so I bought it. Well, 4 days of using it later, my underarms are itching and burning and have little bumps. I have very sensitive skin, and clearly it can't handle anything clinical strength unless it is hypoallergenic. Who knew?? Like I said, major deoderant fail. So, I just could not bring myself to put it on this morning. Let's face it, I don't sweat in my office- in fact, I have my little heater on because I'm cold. And, really, the way my underarms felt last night, I'd rather have a little smell than that much irritation. Sue me. I am going after work to get my correct deoderant. Until then, don't stand too close!

Oh no! I have sensitive skin too so I understand the frustration. Especially with cool spring weather, I doubt you'll smell. Hope your pits feel better! :)
ReplyDeleteHa! Been there....done that :) I remember realizing that I had forgotten to put deoderant on one day in high school (the horror!) during study hall. I quickly asked to use the hall pass and ran out to my car to get some from my tennis bag in my car. Hopefully nobody noticed!
ReplyDeleteI had the same issue with Secret. I switched to Dove and have had no problems, scented or unscented! It works really well in keeping me dry and odor free. :)
ReplyDeleteHa! Its okay ;)
ReplyDeleteI love their Clinical strength stuff! Sorry you are having an icky reaction!
ReplyDeleteThis is really bad to share but I have started using men's deoderant because now that I am coaching I feel like I need the "extra protection". Plus, it smells so good! lol
ReplyDeleteBtw, I left you an award over at my blog!
