How to use the lighten stone?

If you give it a chance as a deodorant, just moisten the lightening stone with a jet of water and rub it in the areas you need (previously washed or clean) until you have the surface well covered. What happens when the mineral comes into contact with water or sweat, is that the light breaks down, fights bacteria and reduces the bad smell.

However, avoid using it on the injured or irritated skin and be careful if the stone has any sharp edge that it can cut.

Like any element of nature, it is likely to cause itching, inflammation, and even eruptions. In the event of any of these signs, suspend your use and consult your dermatologist.
