The Armpit Detox started as a viral trend on TikTok. It became popular as people began to understand the harm that traditional aluminum based deodorants can have on your health.

What is an armpit detox?
An armpit detox involves using simple ingredients mixed together to create a clay that is rubbed onto your armpit area to help transition from traditional deodorants that contain aluminum to aluminum-free (natural) deodorants.
Is it good to detox armpits?
While there is no medical evidence that says detoxing armpits is good, it does offer a way to cleanse armpit pores as it has antibacterial properties that can help remove odor causing bacteria.

How to Make An Armpit Detox Mask
Mix a 1:1 ratio of the apple cider vinegar and Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay in a non-metal bowl with a non-metal spoon. I used 1/4 cup of each and used a ceramic bowl with a popsicle wooden stick.
As you are mixing, you may notice it fizzing, this is totally normal.
Once mixed, apply the detox mask to your underarms and let sit for 5-10 minutes. No longer than 10 minutes.
Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
Things to Note:
- DO NOT mix this mixture in a metal bowl or use metal spoons. There is a warning on the clay package. Use wooden spoons or plastic.
- Watch for skin sensitivity. If you begin feeling a burning sensation or other signs of skin irritation, wash and rinse the armpit detox mask off immediately.
- Do not use for more than 5-10 minutes as the package on the clay states.
- You can switch the Apple Cider Vinegar for water if you’d rather.
- As stated on the clay container, some redness is normal but if you begin to see a rash or more redness, remove immediately.
- If you are using apple cider vinegar, that is the smell you’ll smell while using this.
- You can apply this mask to other areas of your body including your face, neck, arms, legs, etc.
- To remove, wash with a mild soap and warm water.
- Use this at your own risk.
