Initially, the Nuxe 24H Fresh Balm Deodorant (£8) was the product I was least excited to try. Despite my best efforts, I find that most aluminium-free deodorants don't do much for me — I usually end up feeling not so fresh by the afternoon. I've tried dozens of formulas, and only one or two of those have actually helped keep me smelling good throughout the entire day.
Well, to my great surprise, I can now add the 24H Fresh Balm Deodorant to that short list. Sure, the fact it's a balm is a faff since you have to rub it on with your fingers, but I couldn't believe how well the coconut-oil-spiked formula worked at blocking odour. Not only that, thanks to the fact it has a base of cornstarch, it also kept my armpits feeling dry, even after I spent an entire day vigorously cleaning my flat. Needless to say, I'm hooked.
