Road Test

When I first heard I was going to test, and review, a mask, I have to admit the beauty addict part of me jumped with joy, as naturally I assumed it was going to be for my complexion, which as always been, let’s say, troublesome. When I received the product and discovered it was a mask for the armpits, however, I was not only bemused but didn’t know what to expect. First, I read up a bit about the reasons why you might want to detox your pits, and from the start I not only agreed with the principles, but was actually quite excited at the potential outcome. Like many people today I want to live a more natural and chemical free lifestyle, so natural deodorants have always been on my radar, but I didn’t know detoxing armpits was even a thing to help make them work better! And when it comes to feeling, and smelling, fresh, my recent return to the hot and humid Queensland climate has certainly been a challenge. So how does KIND-LY’s armpit detox mask work? The mask comes in a cool, retro-style pink pouch and contains a key lineup of organic ingredients including activated charcoal, Australian bentonite clay and colloidal silver, blended with essential oils of lemongrass and ginger into a black paste. Yes, black! Together these ingredients are designed to draw out impurities, therefore deep cleansing your armpits. Once you get over the shock of the goth-like colour of the paste, you then discover that using it is a bit of a commitment starting out. You need to apply it to your armpits daily for at least seven days, and for up to 15 minutes each time, so make sure you have enough time on hand. But I found it quite therapeutic, an opportunity to enjoy a bit of time out to myself after a long day at work. To use the mask I would first shower, then apply a thin layer to my clean and dry armpits using fingertips, allow it to dry for up 15 minutes, then rinse off with warm soapy water; after that, you only need to use it weekly for maintenance if you feel you need it. Although I was a bit skeptical, and I have to admit to skipping one application because a better offer came my way, I noticed a definite difference after the first couple of uses. Better still, since the road test, I’ve also switched back to an all-natural deodorant which had been sitting sadly in my bathroom cabinet unused, and I have never felt fresher.
