Underarm sweating is a natural process for any person, but for a woman it is a real problem. This phenomenon spoils the mood, stains clothes, makes you feel insecure. To get rid of this problem, you should learn how to choose the right deodorant for your body.
Description
The products offered on the market for sweating and unpleasant odors are presented in a wide range. The special components that make up such products help to reduce sweating. Taking into account the differences in the work of the hormonal system, modern manufacturers offer lines for men and women. To give the body a delicate fragrance that blocks the smell of sweat, deodorant substances are added to the composition.
In addition to eliminating the problem of perspiration, these ingredients also provide freshness, comfort, and a pleasant chill feeling. The elements included in the products regulate the acidity level and retain the effect for a long time. A classic deodorant contains the following substances:
- vitamins;
- softening elements;
- fragrances;
- bactericidal components;
- oils and other groups of elements that are harmless to the skin.
An unpleasant odor during sweating occurs when harmful microorganisms penetrate into the cracks in the dermis of the armpits, a high-quality deodorant destroys harmful bacteria, blocks sweat, and gently cares for the skin.
Varieties
Body deodorant from different brands can be produced in the following forms:
- spray;
- video clip;
- stick;
- cream.
The most hygienic option is spray.It is sprayed onto the skin at some distance, that is, it does not come into direct contact with the skin, which means that several people can use one bottle. In addition, this shape prevents the entry of harmful flora. The disadvantage of sprays is that they do not reduce the level of perspiration, but simply refresh the skin and eliminate the odor. But among the spray deodorants there are many varieties, provided specifically to prevent stains on clothes.
Roll-on deodorants and sticks are used for excessive sweating. In this case, the product absorbs excess moisture, which means it is suitable for people with the problem of profuse sweating. Among the disadvantages of solid hygiene products, it is worth noting their short duration - on average, the effect lasts up to 10 hours, and then the deodorant begins to act to the detriment of the skin of the armpits.
The fact is that these agents work by clogging the pores and preventing sweat from coming out.
If they are on the skin for too long, then the dermis stops breathing, which threatens with dryness and cracks in the armpit area. If you choose between a ball and a stick, the second option has a great effect, but it leaves stains on clothes. Roll-on deodorant is used for slightly smaller problems, but when using it, you sometimes have to wait a long time for the product to dry.
The most budgetary variety is a deodorant cream. Its durability is due to the fact that a woman uses a very small amount at a time. The cream can be applied to any part of the body, it is easy to use, has an effective effect, and can have a light, unobtrusive aroma.
How to choose?
There are important tips to help you find the right body deodorant.
- Determine your skin type. If the dermis of the armpits is dry, then do not take products containing alcohol. This component will further aggravate the condition, lead to irritation and flaking. For normal to oily skin, alcohol-based deodorants will work as well.
- If the skin is dry and the use of alcohol is undesirable, then try a product containing farnesol - the properties of this alcohol usually have a positive effect on the condition of the skin.
- If the main problem - it is an unpleasant smell, then choose options with triclosan. This substance, along with other bactericidal elements, kills microorganisms, which, when sweating, are the cause of odor.
- When profuse sweating occurs in situations of anxiety and excitement, buy anti-stress products... For example, zinc can help reduce sweating when stressed, so look for it in a deodorant.
- Some buyers choose body deodorant based on scent... A pleasant scent is an important part of a hygiene product, but not a basic one, so make your choice of scent the last item on your purchase of deodorant.
- If the buyer suffers from allergy to foreign odors, then it is better to give preference to mineral products.
- Check bottle performance... Make sure the cap can be unscrewed well and that it doesn't take a lot of effort to press the dispenser on the spray.
Choosing a natural product
Natural or organic products deserve special attention, which are distinguished by a large amount of essential oils and plant extracts in their composition. They are good because they do not disrupt the natural processes of the skin, do not interfere with its natural breathing, but they do an excellent job with the problem of unpleasant odor.

Brands
