Sweat, associated with the work of the sweat glands, manifests itself rather unaesthetically - wet clothes and the accompanying unpleasant odor do not delight anyone. Deodorant-antiperspirant helps to fight this phenomenon. Reviews of these cosmetics, as well as the rating of the most effective anti-sweat drugs are presented below.
What is antiperspirant deodorant?
Deodorant is a cosmetic preparation to eliminate the smell of sweat. Typically, such products contain a perfume composition that masks the unpleasant smell of natural human secretions. By itself, the moisture produced by the sweat glands is odorless, a specific “aroma” is given to it by the waste products of bacteria that live on the surface of the skin.
Deodorants don't deal with the very cause of sweating, they only fight odor. Some products are alcohol-based, while others arethe addition of antiseptics that prevent the growth of bacteria.
As effective as deodorant is, it is less effective than antiperspirant. The latter is a means of narrowing the ducts that bring sweat to the surface of the skin. It contains s alts of aluminum or zinc. Antiperspirant, reviews of which confirm its effectiveness, is considered a drug used in extreme cases. This is due to the fact that the drug aggressively affects the ducts of the sweat glands and interferes with the normal thermoregulation of the body.
Safe substances contain only good antiperspirants. Reviews of such products say that they should not be used before intense physical exertion, since the action of antiperspirants is aimed at reducing sweating, which prevents toxins from being excreted from the body naturally, through sweat.
Cosmetologists have developed a special tool that combines several actions: disinfection of the skin surface and elimination of the smell of sweat, combined with a reduction in its release. This drug is called an antiperspirant deodorant.
