 |  
				| Has anyone found a good aluminium free deodorant/antiperspirant in Korea? 
 Apparently it's the aluminium salts in the spray reacting with my sweat that are causing the armpit stains on my t-shirts, and not because I'm a dirty, dirty boy.

				| aren't most deodorants aluminum free to begin with? 
 I thought it was anti-perspirants that contained aluminum

				| I'm not 'Sure' of the technicalities...  Is a deodorant just a smell to cover up the bad ones? 
 Basically I need something that keeps me dry and won't react with my sweat, that is available in Korea.

 Bingo... Anti-perspirants clog up the pores with aluminum and don't let sweat out. Get yourself some deodorants and deal with sweat. It's much healthier for you.

				| I used to use anti-perspirants, but I heard it's possible that the Aluminum causes Alzheimer's.  Better safe than sorry. |  |

				| I got some of the Body Shop stuff.  Of course, nothing is going to make me 100% dry or not sweaty, but it's working better than that other stuff I was using  before. |  |
