Sweating is the mechanism by which our body regulates its own temperature. This mechanism works not only in drought, but also in conditions of high humidity. We sweat, and bacteria get an ideal breeding ground.
Bad smell is caused by sweat
It is not true! It is bacteria, and not sweat (it itself has neither color nor smell) that cause the “aroma” that not only in hot summer, but also in autumn persistently accompanies us at work and in transport. This means that you need to fight not with sweat as such, but with bacteria.
But how do you fight? Fortunately, there is no need to invent anything here: all the necessary tools have already been invented, packaged and presented in assortment on supermarket shelves. One of the latest discoveries is Rexona antiperspirants for men and women “Antibacterial freshness” with antibacterial citrus and menthol oils.
“Initially, deodorants were designed specifically to mask unpleasant odors, but today their capabilities are much wider,” says Katerina Lebedeva, an expert at Unilever’s research and development service. – Modern means eliminate the very cause of the smell of sweat – bacteria. When used correctly, they respect the natural microflora, minimizing the possibility of irritation. “
Deodorant should be applied like everyone else before going outside.
And this is not true! To protect yourself as much as possible from bacteria (and thus from feeling awkward), you need to apply an antiperspirant immediately after showering. At this time, their number on the body is minimal. At the same time, the skin should be dry: this will allow the active ingredient to penetrate into the end ducts of the sweat glands before active sweating begins and will provide longer-term protection.
The deodorant should be used only in the heat …
Antiperspirant should be used regularly, both for ethical and scientific reasons. The antiperspirant effect accumulates, and its antiperspirant effectiveness gains its greatest strength on the 3-4th day of continuous use, but as soon as you take a break, its effect ceases.
… and you only need to apply it once
Try applying the product not once, but twice, at intervals of a few minutes. This will avoid the situation when the deodorant has to be renewed upon arrival at the office.
Deodorant will help not only in the armpits, I can use it all over my body.
True, solid deodorant will help you look fresh, even if not used as intended. For example, along the hairline – a thin layer will prevent strands from sticking to the face during heat or sports. And if you handle the rise of the leg and the bone above the heel with a stick, then you will stop rubbing your legs with open sandals.
