Beauty Review: Avalon Organics Lavender Deodorant Spray

Beauty Review: Avalon Organics Lavender Deodorant Spray

I've been using Avalon Organics Deodorant Spray on and off for a couple weeks now since receiving a free bottle from the company, and I have to say, I love this stuff. Let me preface this commendation by saying, it doesn't really work if you're going to be really active or it's 90 degrees out. You will get stinky. But what Avalon Organics Deodorant Spray does provide is a burst of light, refreshing, cooling liquid on your armpits (3 to 5 squirts per arm) that lingers for a few minutes and then fades, leaving you smelling noticeably fresher for hours without entirely masking your own natural odor, shall we say. And for me, that's not necessarily a bad thing.
