Mother Dirt AO+ Mist Probiotic Spray, Ammonia Oxidizing Bacteria Skin Care, 3.4 fl oz (Packaging May Vary)

I have always had body odor issues. No matter how well I washed or how frequently people would say I stink or would accuse me of not washing at all. This has caused more than simply embarrassment though. I've actually been brought up on discipline at college for what they thought was poor hygiene. It also affected job opportunities. I couldn't even get a job at a wastewater facility because of my smell!So, why did I stink? Hereditary skin bacteria. Everyone has them, but different groups of people have a different smell because the bacteria gets passed from parent to child through direct skin contact. This is why I didn't notice any bad smell myself. I've lived with it my entire life.Then I heard about "Mother Dirt" as a bacterial inoculation and decided to give it a try, but at first my own bacteria still over powered it. So, here's what I did for a permanent change :1.) wash extremely well and dry.2.) lather triple antibiotic ointment over all areas of my skin that carry large concentrations of odor causing bacteria. Arm pits, feet, etc. Anywhere I might smell and anywhere near. I called this my "nuclear option"3.) Leave in for 12 hour then wash off thoroughly with soap and water.4.) heavily spray entire body with mother dirt, but more heavily where the ointment was.5.) repeat spray daily for a week.The old bacteria would still have existed in some parts of the body and could have grown back eventually, but the mother dirt took over before it had the chance. While some of the original bacteria probably still exists on my body, the mother dirt is dominant.Afterwards, I had some initial problems because I noticed my own scent too much, but that was just because I wasn't used to it. Within a few weeks I got used to it.I ran a test to see how long it takes me to stink now. Whereas before half a day was enough to smell like I haven't bathed, after even if I worked out and didn't bathe for a month I didn't smell nearly half as bad.I bought this for much less than the new price - a mere $20 - but also bought other products with it. Honestly, this is all I needed. I used less than half, haven't used it in over a year, and the effects continue to last. Given that even the new price would have been worth it.If I didn't nuke the old bacteria I'd have to use this daily, which would still be of value, but having the ability to fully replace my skin bacteria was life changing. Everyone notices the difference, especially my significant other.Side Note : If someone stinks at your work or school, don't assume they don't bathe. If you have to say something mention this story.

I was on 1.5 years of several broad-spectrum antibiotics for Lyme disease. Afterwards, my face started breaking out with acne across my cheeks, forehead and chin. I'm 37, and eat a clean diet, so this was unusual (and embarrassing!) for me. After about 6 months of this, I decided to try the trio of Mother Dirt skincare products recommended by the book 10% Human: the AO+ Mist, the moisturizer, and the wash. I started using everything in early December 2017 on my face (didn't need to use it elsewhere, and wanted to make it last, because of the cost). I saw minor improvement within about 1 month. My skin was breaking out a bit less frequently, I no longer had spots of dryness, and my skin had more natural glow (not greasiness - just a more healthy glimmer to it). By the end of the second month, I noticed significant improvement. My skin is still not perfect, but at least I don't feel like I'm back in high school! The difference to me is well worth the cost.I have had the same bottle of spray for a little over 3 months. I use 3 sprays on my face in the morning, and then again at night. First I use the wash to remove my makeup (it's very effective as long as you pay extra attention around the eyes to remove mascara and eyeliner; I use 1-2 pumps of the wash); then I apply 2 pumps of moisturizer, followed by 3 spritzes of the AO+ Mist.In the morning, I apply the moisturizer to my face after showering, then spritz 3x with the AO+ Mist. Afterwards, I apply my foundation. I'm sure my skin would be healthier without foundation...but I'm not yet ready for that ;)The first thing I ran out of was the moisturizer. It lasted about 6 weeks. (ThriveMarket.com is the cheapest place to buy it.)Next up was the wash. I bought the large bottle. It lasted about 7 to 8 weeks. (ThriveMarket.com is the cheapest place to buy it.)Finally, I'm still on my first bottle of the AO+ Mist (has lasted 3+ months). Going to reorder now, as I'm nearly empty. (I'll reorder on Amazon, or else at the MotherDirt.com website, where they have a 20% off coupon for first time orders).I highly recommend Mother Dirt products to help restore more balance to your skin. If possible, give the products a few months, and then gauge the difference in your skin.
