"I'm newly committed to stop using the common do's, so I've been trying different natural products (salts, rocks, lavilin cream). I've decided the most effective ones for me are the rocks/salts. It can fail on me if I end up sitting in the sun or sweating alot, so just in case I carry alcohol (antibacterial) swabs in my purse to freshen up. Or if I have plans to go out after work, I'll wash and reapply because I don't want to risk whether it'll hold out long enough. But for the natural proucts it works quite well for me, and I love that there's no visible residual on the skin or rub-off onto clothes. Even after a couple months of using it, it's spooky to me that I'm just rubbing a rock on me and that's supposed to do something. I'm always quesitoning myself how long I should keep rubbing. I know it's depositing salts on my skin but you can't see or feel it, so it still strikes me as weird, and I'm always unsure I've rubbed long enough. I probably do one full minute per side, and I'm sure to cover the ENTIRE area. Then I have to hold my arms up for several minutes to dry. That's not a big deal but when I'm in a hurry I'm more prone to want the common roll-on/solid variety, so I end up using the gel form containing mineral salts. You still have to wait for it to dry, but it's a quick swipe on and it's obvious to my brain that something is on my skin. However I find the rock is the most effective. I don't know why that would be, maybe rubbing a rock makes the salts drive into the pores, whereas a gel keeps it suspended over the skin? I have no idea. If I'm really paranoid about odor (like on a date) I'll do both - why not, huh?"
