Everything pfries said and I include the armpits. I like to wet the alum, my face and hands and apply it to the whole face including my forehead, then the pits, then give it a rinse and set it aside. The alum is amazing. I only use deodorant every other day now, I am about ready to quit altogether except for date nights with the bride!

I should mention this is after a shower of course, otherwise that would be gross!
