There's a whole new crop of natural deodorants — and they actually work. (GIF: Yahoo Lifestyle)

Natural deodorants used to be strictly hippie territory — more of a rebellious statement against societal grooming norms than an actual effective product. Take it from someone who has tried 'em all over the years. But, despite having major misgivings about the idea of plugging up my sweat ducts with aluminum (which is how antiperspirants work), I always wound up going back to a traditional deodorant/antiperspirant (hello, Secret), because nothing else, it seemed, could stop my stink.

But in recent years, companies have been truly heeding the call for more natural alternatives, by those of us who have been scared off antiperspirants for good. For me, that change of heart came after a bout with breast cancer, despite the lack of scientific evidence regarding a connection.

According to the National Cancer Institute, "Some research suggests that aluminum-containing underarm antiperspirants, which are applied frequently and left on the skin near the breast, may be absorbed by the skin and have estrogen-like effects." And, because estrogen promotes the growth of some breast cancer cells, some researchers have suggested the aluminum of antiperspirants may add to the development of such cancers. Also, the NICI notes, "it has been suggested that aluminum may have direct activity in breast tissue." Still, there has been no clear evidence to confirm the adverse effects of aluminum-based antiperspirants.

That said, many of us remain skeptical and are uncomfortable with the theory of purposely blocking sweat ducts. Luckily, a recent round of natural deodorants has been flooding the market, and I've found 10 that actually work — even according to my family members, who acted as reluctant smell testers!

First, here's a quick primer on how these products function.

Cosmetic chemist and beauty industry expert Erica Douglas, aka Sister Scientist, tells Yahoo Lifestyle, "Unlike antiperspirants, natural deodorants work to absorb the moisture we know as sweat, and cover up the stench that we associate with it, rather than trying to stop the act of sweating under your pits all together."

Contrary to popular belief, she adds, sweat is good for the body because it helps to naturally cool down the body when it overheats. "The stinky B.O. that you experience," Douglas notes, "is actually the smell of bacteria from your skin when it is mixed with the moisture from your sweat glands."

Natural deodorants rely on a range of Ingredients — such as baking soda, charcoal, arrowroot powder, and cornstarch — which naturally absorb moisture and odors. "The power of these sponge-like powders," she explains, "are then enhanced by incorporating known antibacterial agents, such as tea tree oil, zinc oxide and coconut oil, to directly fight the bacterial source of your B.O."

Plus, Douglas says, most natural deodorants will use essential oils like lavender, bergamot or lemon "to leave behind a more pleasant smell than the ones it takes away. Together, these ingredients act as your own personal Avengers squad to fight off bad B.O. and pit stains."

And now, for the list of winning products, all of which I personally tested for two to three days in a row, through a combination of going to work, working out, and running around doing weekend errands. Some worked better than others, but none caused a complete stinkout.

Agent Nateur Uni(Sex) (Photo: Dermstore)

These little beauties, from a woman-owned green beauty company, are perfectly packaged solids, which come in a range of scent formulations. I tested the Uni(sex) No. 5, because I loved its matte black container, but wound up loving its woodsy scent and staying power, too. Coconut oil, baking soda and avocado butter are among its almost-good-enough-to-eat ingredients.

Beautifully packaged in cool seafoam green, these solids glide on easily and smell amazing, too. I tried the Santalum formula — a blend of sandalwood, cedarwood and amber — and loved how it went on with no muss or fuss. And though I was emitting more of an odor than I would've hoped to by 5pm, I would try it again on a less sweaty day because of its other perks.

Crystal unscented deodorant (Photo: Amazon)

This was the sleeper hit — a heavy sphere-shaped chunk of potassium alum, which is a natural mineral salt, and literally nothing else. It was first introduced back in the 1980s, after the company founder learned, in France, of a mineral salt product used to purify water, which also forms a skin barrier against bacteria (which, if you'll remember, is what causes odor). When I first heard about this product, back in college, I scoffed — certain, without ever trying it, that it would be no match for my odorous powers. Boy, was I wrong. This little rock — which has no scent, and which you must moisten slightly before applying, is nothing short of a miracle. Hands-down favorite.

Shop it: Crystal deodorant, $6, amazon.com

InstaNatural Deodorant (Photo: Amazon)

I appreciated the clean lavender scent and clear, easy-to-glide-on formula. Apparently, it's effectiveness is due to a mysterious element called DeoPlex Deodorant Active, which "neutralizes odors with powerful enzymes, offering all day protection."

Freedom natural roll-on deodorant (Photo: Amazon)

I tried the roll-on version of Freedom, which had a wonderful coconut scent and good staying power (leaving me with just a hint of mild BO by the end of a very long day), thanks to ingredients such as witch hazel, magnesium chloride and avocado oil. But the best part is the company's mission: "Founder Ira Green made it her mission to help everyone Find Their Freedom after her three friends were diagnosed with breast cancer all within the same year. When doctors put an emphasis on using all-natural products, Ira began looking at her three daughters and contemplating how to change their routine."

SmartyPits Lavender Rose (Photo: Amazon)

Cutely-named and containing arrowroot powder, magnesium, coconut oil and avocado butter, the refreshing lavender-rose version I tried was made for sensitive skin (the other scents contain baking soda instead of magnesium). It needs to heat up a bit, simply by holding it in your pit, before it slides on. Plus, there's this: For every SmartyPits purchased, the company donates a portion to oncology centers, breast cancer support groups and nonprofits.

Tom's Natural Strength Deodorant (Photo: Target)

This is the original natural deodorant, in my mind — at least it was the first one I ever heard of or tried back in college (when I was foolishly laughing at the Crystal). I know it didn't work back then — either because I didn't give it enough of a chance or, just as likely, because the formulation has vastly improved. This Natural Strength Deodorant in Fresh Coconut promises "48 hours of odor protection," and while I can't vouch for that, since I tend to shower daily, I can say that it glides on really well, smells amazing, and left me with only a vaguely detectable odor by the end of my long day.

Shop it: Tom's of Maine Natural Deodorant, $6, target.com

Native Deodorant (Photo: Target)

Native won points before I even opened it, because of its sleek, minimalist design. A fan of charcoal, I tried the Charcoal version, which also relies on shea butter, jojoba oil, coconut oil, baking soda, and the natural bacteria acidophilus to work so well.

Shop it: Native Deodorant, $12, target.com

Ursa Major Base Layer (Photo: Amazon)

The Base Layer version is supposedly unscented, but I definitely detected a soothing, cake-like smell that I loved. It goes on easy and is non-staining, and specially formulated for sensitive skin (like mine), with hops, aloe, a probiotic enzyme, chamomile, shea butter and kaolin clay. I found it worked amazingly well.

Shop it: Ursa Major Base Layer, $18, amazon.com

Dr. Teal's Aluminum Free Deodorant (Photo: Walmart)

Also powered by magnesium, this product (I tried the coconut) is in the old-school need-to-soften-under-your-arm-before-applying camp. But once you do, it goes on and stays on well, and smells so good. Other pure-enough-to-eat ingredients include arrowroot powder, baking soda and coconut oil.

Why teeth are having a gap year - Financial Times

Posted: 13 Jun 2019 09:19 PM PDT

I didn't think my teeth were particularly noteworthy until I lived in New York. Most Americans have blocks of perfectly white, perfectly straight teeth that look as if they were curated by a 6ft 4in chino-wearing dentist called Chad who smells like Calvin Klein Eternity.

Mine, by contrast, are arranged like an orchestra of disorder. My front teeth are too large, giving me a gawpy air, my canines are twisted sideways and my left-hand top incisor sticks out oddly, so much so that if you catch me at the wrong angle in a photograph I look like I have a fang. They are white enough, but not dazzling. They'd never bothered me much — in the UK, I've seen much worse. But by American standards I present like a female Shane MacGowan. "All British people have terrible teeth," advised an American friend.

In a 1993 episode of The Simpsons, Ralph Wiggum goes to the dentist and is introduced to The Big Book of British Smiles — a tome of snaggle-toothed men and women, including a caricature of Prince Charles with a face full of misshapen teeth. It's used as a warning about the importance of brushing and Wiggum recoils in horror when presented with such oral atrocities.

Worthy of inclusion would be Gucci's new lipstick campaign, shot by British photographer Martin Parr, which features the red-painted mouth of musician Dani Miller of the Brooklyn-based punk band Surfbort. She's smiling to the point of a grimace. Miller, whose teeth are more magnolia than brilliant white, didn't have top lateral incisors, so has a gummy gap on either side of her front teeth. Other, more conventional, smiles also feature in the campaign, but it was Miller's that got the most attention. It's a jarring image when placed next to standard beauty ads, which are typically full of symmetrical faces and oiled lithe limbs.

An insider at Gucci says that when the campaign was tested with focus groups it looked set to be a disaster. Instead, the image was met with celebration — it got over 725,000 likes on Instagram (a typical post from Gucci gets around 65,000). One commenter, who clearly had braces as a child, said: "I shouldn't have messed with my natural beauty." Another wrote: "I've dealt with the insecurity and shame of my missing lateral incisors all of my life. There is something truly dehumanising about feeling like you're not allowed to smile or talk too excitedly out of shame. This is beautiful."

Miller was thrilled. Her relationship with her teeth has been tricky. As a child, her mother took her to the orthodontist after hearing her "cry over my teeth forever due to bullying". The trip resulted in a brace to straighten her bottom teeth, and a brace to close the gap between her front teeth and enlarge the space where her incisors should have been to make way for implants. In the end, there wasn't room and she ended up with a retainer holding false teeth. "After losing the retainer a hundred times, I finally never put it in again," she says. Later, while working in a coffee shop, she'd avoid smiling or talking louder than a mumble to prevent people seeing her gappy teeth. The Gucci campaign has done much to boost her confidence. "I love that it inspired beauty standards to be challenged. My teeth and everyone else with non-perfect teeth have a space to shine and feel badass and beautiful," she says.

Elsewhere, times are good for those with imperfect smiles. On Instagram, Pixie Geldof recently captioned photos of herself "Silly teeth forever". Slick Woods, one of today's buzziest models, has a gap between her front teeth big enough to show off her tongue. She follows in the footsteps of Georgia May Jagger, whose gap-toothed smile was ubiquitous in editorials and campaigns about a decade ago, and before that Lauren Hutton and Vanessa Paradis. As always, Kate Moss can be credited as a trailblazer. She brought British teeth to the world of high fashion. Unglamorously wonky and utterly average, her teeth are, she says, "gangly".

Across literature and film, teeth have long been a carrier for morals and personality. Those with bad teeth are villains — loose or wicked or uncontrollable. Chaucer's Wife of Bath, from the Canterbury Tales, is gap-toothed (or "gat-tothed" in the language of the time). And even Rachel Cusk resorts to old clichés in her recent book Transit, when a self-promoting author displays "an even row of large brown teeth" when speaking at a literary festival.

Our relationship with teeth is complex, says Emily Scott-Dearing, who co-curated the Teeth exhibition at London's Wellcome Collection last year. "Why would we do an exhibition about teeth, not arms or big toes or whatever?" she asks. "We felt that teeth are very central to our sense of self. They're the only bit of our skeleton that is on display to the outside world. They're part of our faces — a very sensitive part of our bodies." The exhibition included film posters with generic sparkling retouched smiles; veneer colour-charts; a clip from a 2015 documentary, A Wreck Reborn, in which Shane MacGowan (who, Scott-Dearing quotes, "famously has a mouth like a burnt-out castle") is fitted with a full set of dentures — 22 new teeth in a nine-hour procedure; a 1920s board game, Your Teeth are Ivory Castles, in which children made their way around the board to reach the Castle of Health and Happiness, all while avoiding the Giant of Decay; and, of course, the Spike Milligan poem "Teeth", which pays tribute to imperfect smiles like mine:

English Teeth! HEROES' Teeth!
Hear them click! and clack!
Let's sing a song of praise to them —
Three Cheers for the Brown Grey and Black.

Bad teeth were once a sign of wealth, says Scott-Dearing. "The teeth of the very wealthy were typically horrifically bad at a time when access to sugar was an extreme privilege. The royal court had the worst teeth going." In the exhibition, a painting of Elizabeth I sat alongside a quote from a German visitor to the court from 1578: "Her lips are narrow and teeth black, a defect that the English seem subject to from their great use of sugar." As access to dental health became a symbol of wealth, it was fixed pearly teeth that suggested privilege.

"Arguably the quest for a nice-looking smile came out of France in the 18th century," says Rachel Bairsto of the British Dental Association Museum. She cites Pierre Fauchard, widely described as the father of modern dentistry, whose seminal 1728 book Le Chirurgien-dentiste contains various instructions on cosmetic procedures and false teeth. Bairsto also points to cartoon prints by Thomas Rowlandson as evidence of the obsession with the Hollywood smile, long before Hollywood. In one drawing, from 1787, Rowlandson lampoons the practice of transplanting teeth, which involved extracting a live tooth from a poor person to be inserted into the mouth of a rich buyer. Though unsuccessful, it was a brief craze.

"The Hollywood smile makes us all feel insecure," says Scott-Dearing when reflecting on Gucci's snarling ad. It is certainly another step forward in fashion's new interest in diversity and atypical beauty. Perhaps it will make us all abandon the braces. Or think twice before bolting them on to our children, in what is an oddly early entry into the world of cosmetic adjustments.

I think back to the various times my teeth could have been corrected. Perhaps, aged 11, when my sister, a year older than me, got a retainer. Perhaps aged 15, when school friends wore train-tracks like badges of honour, pinging those rubber bands that attached the top and bottom sets and spraying the awed viewers with saliva. Perhaps in my early twenties, when adults around me decided it wasn't too late and paid thousands for custom-made clear braces. Or maybe even now, when ads on the Tube urge me to go for a procedure that will make me "Smile with confidence". So why don't I? It's not because people seem to care any less about perfection. And it's not because I feel newly empowered by a Gucci ad. Maybe it's simply because, when I catch sight of myself really laughing — mouth open, eyes wild, smile manic, teeth askew — I look ever so alive, and just perfectly real.

Why Bake Off's Prue Leith is adding fashion designer to her CV at 79 - Telegraph.co.uk

Prue Leith, CBE, is as surprised and amused as anyone that she will be adding fashion designer to her CV at the age of 79.

"It's funny," the doyenne television chef says of her new venture. "But people kept asking me where I get my glasses from. Then I won the only award I have ever won for doing absolutely nothing; Spectacle Wearer of the Year. My husband said he'd have preferred it if it was 'Rear of the Year', but sadly not.
