Hi RE: ZIPP. I have a problem. i own the original zipp. Yes, I was one of the early ons that enabled Ms. Simon (who I admire and wouldl like to look like :-)) to reach out further with her products...develop new ones, refashion a product. My Zipp is obviously inferior to the new products, as is my serum that I put on before utilizing the zipp and even utlizing the app with my zipp is no longer first class. It seems, from what I have heard, not only in this case here, but with every upgrade or new machine, one is on their own for purchasing a revised product full price. I respect and applaud entrepreneurship. It would sit better with me if the newer versions of the original gave discount benefits to those who have been supporting them from the git go.
yeah it's a bit like buying a new iPhone, I suppose. I actually asked Melanie about that when I saw her and she said she still uses her original one and loves it. And that although the new app features don't necessarily work with the old device, that it still works well...if that helps at all! But yes, I hear you!
The only natural deodorant that works for me is the Hauschka Sage Mint one, and it *actually* works. (Oddly, the same formula with a rose scent doesn't work at all for me!)
I like using my Nuface, but I hate the conductive gel so I use and essence/toner for slip. I wonder if the conductive gel is necessary for the device to work.
Thanks for the great post! I’d love to find some dupes for the gel because they overcharge for it. Plus, I always wash it off because I think it’s too thick for my other products to get through to my skin. I read the PTR rose stem cell mask can do the election conduction but I’m not sure if that is true. Thank you!
I had tried every natural deo and totally had given up...then when I got pregnant I tried HealthyBaby deodorant and HOLY SHIT it's truly the only natural deodorant that goes for 24 hours+, through NYC summers, through workouts, everything. It's because the deodorant has probiotics and prebiotics, which I initially rolled my eyes at, but is actually *the reason* it's so effective–it kills all of the bad smelling bacteria!!! I beg you to try it. One tube lasts months, and it's also such minimal all paper packaging, so there is a minimal environmental footprint when the product is finished.

I second Kosa. It’s not gonna work for hot yoga but I use it most days (if not doing a very sweaty workout) and it’s fine. Very gentle & it works.
Added plug for Kosa-giant fan of their lip balms which are not at all sticky and very subtly-scented and their body scrub.
ooh will try

sage mint also sounds gorgeous!
Kosas Sport Deodorant is the first one I’ve found that doesn’t leave me smelly in Miami and doesn’t irritate my skin
in the miami heat is a pretty good endorsement!
I love Lume deodorant. It’s the only one I’ve found to work for me. It’s definitely so individual for natural deodorants!
thanks for the reco!
Pretty Frank unscented deodorant is the only natural one I have found that works for me. Available at Whole Foods. Give it a try!
ooh thanks will try!
Have you tried any RF devices like tripolar?
Not yet. I’m eager to tho!

Agree the gel is a pain sometimes. As I understand it, it is necessary though for conducting electricity but also protecting skin too.

I’ve heard some people use aloe. I can’t vouch for it personally but I’ve seen others talk about it.
I use ultrasound gel which you can buy on Amazon for a fraction of the price of the NuFace gel - the science is the same, it’s a conductive gel.
Tried Aloe but it stung my face but apparently it works as well.
That's genius! Do you have a link to one you have used and like?
It was this one but currently out of stock! https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00M1QNOH2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
