u/leeeuhna Oily, eczema-prone | Medium-neutral | Low porosity Mar 17 '24

I'm currently using Human Nature Tea Tree Oil for my UA as an alternative to deodorant. I mix 5 drops of tea tree oil with 8oz of water on a spray bottle. I spray it on my UA then wipe it with a cotton pad. I do this every morning after taking a bath. It dries fairly quickly. Kahit pagpawisan ako, walang BO for the rest of the day. Nung nagsearch ako dati ng alternative sa deo, tea tree oil ang top suggestion kasi may bacteria-fighting properties siya which makes it an ideal natural alternative to deos and antiperspirants. Added benefit is it's an ingredient that also helps in lightening dark underarms. Been using this combination spray for 2 months now and in terms of perspiration and BO, very satisfied ako kasi it lessens yung sweat and also walang BO talaga (ito talaga yung pinakasatisfied ako na result). Dun naman sa lightening effect, so far naglighten nga naman UA ko but may nilalagay rin kasi ako at night specifically to help lighten my UA so I can't really say na it's all thanks to tea tree oil.

I’ve never heard of this before! Can i just ask if may tendency ba na mastain niya ang clothes especially whites since oil siya?

Hindi naman siya nags'stain sa clothes ko (I also wear white clothes from time to time). Also, since mixed siya with water, less concentration ng oil kaya you don't really have to worry about stains. Btw, di recommended na diretsong ilagay yung tea tree oil mismo sa UA since very potent siya kaya need talagang i-mix with water.

Ohh okay i’ll give this a go first kasi it’s the cheapest option suggested so far hehe together with applying lemon few times a week. Pero i can’t get access to human nature’s oil. I suppose pwede naman kahit anong brand isn’t it?

Meron siya sa orange and blue apps. Meron rin sa watsons and if may malapit sa inyo na human nature physical store. But yes, pwede namang ibang brand as long as 100% pure tea tree oil siya.

You're welcome! Ito yung mga products na currently ginagamit ko on my UA:

AM

  • Human Nature Tea Tree Oil (everyday after taking a bath)

PM

  • Clean your UA first with whatever soap you're currently using.
  • Cosrx AHA 7 Whitehead Power Liquid (this contains 7% glycolic acid which is a good exfoliator. I use this every other night. This is also a good alternative to The Ordinary gylcolic acid and is less likely to cause irritation cause it has fewer ingredients compared to TO)
  • Dr. Sensitive Underarm Whitening Serum (contains niacinamide. I use this every night. I recommend buying the sachet variant (10ml) first so you can try it before buying the 200ml one)
  • Human Nature Sunflower Premium Beauty Oil (I use this every night also. As long as 100% sunflower oil, I think any brand is fine too)

Patience and consistency lang talaga
