How To Use
Morning routine:
-
Shower with Day Trip soap - The poppy seeds gently exfoliate as you wash. Rinse thoroughly.
-
Dry completely - Important: Natural deodorant works best on completely dry skin.
-
Apply deodorant - 2-3 swipes per underarm. A little goes a long way.
-
Let it absorb - Wait 30 seconds before dressing to avoid transfer.
PRO TIP: The sandalwood in the deodorant grounds the brighter citrus from the soap, creating a more sophisticated scent that evolves throughout the day. They're designed to layer beautifully.

Common Questions
Does this natural deodorant actually work?
Yes, with a caveat: your body needs 1-2 weeks to adjust if you're switching from aluminium-based antiperspirant. Aluminium plugs sweat ducts - when you stop using it, your body detoxes and sweat glands recalibrate. During this adjustment, you might sweat more or smell different. After 2 weeks, most users report the natural deodorant works better than their previous conventional deodorant. The magnesium hydroxide neutralizes odour-causing bacteria rather than just masking smell.
I've tried natural deodorant before and it irritated my skin. Will this?
Depends which brand you tried. Most natural deodorants use high concentrations of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), which causes irritation in 30-40% of users. Our Day Trip deodorant uses magnesium hydroxide as the primary active ingredient, which has a 95%+ tolerance rate. We do include some sodium bicarbonate but in lower amounts. If you have very sensitive skin, patch test first or start with every-other-day application.
What does Day Trip actually smell like?
Fresh citrus with depth. The soap smells bright and lemony (may chang, sweet orange) with calming lavender underneath. The deodorant is zesty lime and sweet orange grounded by sandalwood. Together they smell energizing but sophisticated - not like lemon cleaner, not overpowering. Natural, fresh, morning-appropriate. The scent lasts 2-4 hours then fades to skin scent.
Is the soap actually exfoliating or is it just a gimmick?
Actually exfoliating. The poppy seeds are real physical exfoliants - you can feel them as you wash. They're gentle enough for daily use but effective at removing dead skin cells. Perfect for pre-workout (removes sweat-blocking dead skin) or maintaining smooth skin. If you prefer non-exfoliating soap, check out our Out Out collection instead.
How long does the set actually last?
Soap: 30-50 washes depending on bar size, water pressure, how much you use. For most people with daily showers, that's 2-3 months.
Deodorant: 2-3 months with daily application (2-3 swipes per underarm). The 100g size is larger than most natural brands' 60-75g, so it genuinely lasts longer.
Total: Expect to reorder after 2-3 months of daily use.
Can I use this if I have sensitive skin?
Most people with sensitive skin tolerate both products well. The soap uses a gentle olive oil base (not harsh like SLS-heavy soaps). The deodorant uses magnesium hydroxide which is gentler than the sodium bicarbonate in most natural deodorants. That said, essential oils can cause reactions in some people. Patch test on inner arm for 24 hours before full use if you have very reactive skin.
Is this suitable for sweaty/active lifestyles?
Yes. The exfoliating soap removes dead skin cells that can trap sweat and bacteria - perfect for pre-gym. The deodorant works well for active lifestyles once your body adjusts (1-2 weeks). Many customers use it for running, cycling, gym workouts. Natural deodorant doesn't stop sweat (that's what aluminium does, and it's not healthy), but it does neutralize odour-causing bacteria effectively.
What's the difference between Day Trip and Out Out?
Day Trip = fresh citrus, morning energy, exfoliating, active lifestyles
Out Out = sophisticated floral, evening confidence, calming, going-out scents
Both are natural soap + deodorant sets. Different scent profiles and use cases. Want both? Check out The Complete Set (all 4 products, save £4).
Is this a good gift?
Excellent gift for: birthdays, Christmas, Mother's Day, "thinking of you" gifts, women who love fresh scents, anyone interested in natural products, gym enthusiasts, busy professionals. £21.99 hits the sweet spot between "thoughtful" and "not too expensive". Plastic-free packaging looks good as-is - no wrapping needed.
How should I store the products?
Soap: Keep dry between uses. Use a draining soap dish - sitting in water makes it dissolve faster. Cool, dry place.
Deodorant: Room temperature in a cool, dry place. DO NOT refrigerate - natural deodorants harden when cold and become difficult to apply. Don't leave in hot car or direct sunlight either.
Can I buy the soap or deodorant separately?
Yes. Both available individually at £11.50 each. The set saves you £1 and ensures you get the complete routine with complementary scents. Most customers prefer the set.
First time buying natural products - should I start with this?
Yes, perfect starter set. You get both soap and deodorant working together, so you can experience the full natural routine. The soap works immediately. The deodorant takes 1-2 weeks adjustment. Commit to the full 2 weeks before deciding - most people who quit natural deodorant quit during the adjustment phase, not because it doesn't work. After adjustment, you'll likely prefer it to conventional deodorant.
