Homemade Deodorant Recipe

Come summer season and the first thing we do is head to the market and buy a good deodorant. For most of the people, every time they take a bath, sometimes even otherwise, spraying on a deodorant is a must. Now, you don't want to be accused of body odor, right? With the high price that most of the deodorants demand in the market these days, summer seems to be a much more expensive season, as compared to winters. In case you are unaware of the same, it is perfectly possible to make deodorants at home only, that too at a fraction of the cost of a market-bought one. The homemade deodorant recipe given below will just prove this to you.
