Limes 🍋🟩 actually
Lemons have been used for centuries for their fresh scent and natural acidity, but the claim that they were the original deodorant before modern products is more complicated than this post suggests.
Lemon juice may help reduce odor temporarily, but it can also irritate skin and increase sensitivity to sunlight. It’s not a proven replacement for a properly formulated deodorant.
Always patch test before applying anything acidic to your skin.
