Severe stress, excitement, heat – these are just a few of the factors that provoke the release of sweat. And it would be possible not to pay attention to him, if not for wet circles under the arms and an unpleasant smell. Save the situation deodorants.
Deodorants and antiperspirants: what’s the difference?
Deodorants
eliminate the smell of sweat without affecting the moisture content of the skin and the level of perspiration. Simply put, the problem of wet circles under the arms will not be solved.
Antiperspirants
limit the production of sweat in the apocrine glands, working at the expense of aluminum or zinc salts. These substances penetrate the sweat glands and, in contact with sweat, form a kind of gel that reduces the release of moisture.
As for Vichy deodorants, they combine several characteristics.
