The secretion of sweat associated with the work of the sweat glands is quite unaesthetic - wet clothes and the accompanying unpleasant odor do not delight anyone. Antiperspirant deodorant helps fight this phenomenon. Reviews of these cosmetics, as well as the rating of the most effective anti-sweat drugs, are presented below.
What is an antiperspirant deodorant?
Deodorant is a cosmetic preparation to eliminate sweat odor. Typically, such products contain a perfume composition masking the unpleasant odor of natural human secretions. By itself, the moisture produced by the sweat glands is odorless, a specific “aroma” is given to it by the vital products of bacteria that live on the surface of the skin.
Deodorants do not cope with the very cause of sweat, they only struggle with an unpleasant odor. Some products are made on an alcohol basis, while others are supplemented with antiseptics that prevent the growth of bacteria.
No matter how effective the deodorant is, it is less effective than an antiperspirant. The latter is a means of narrowing the ducts that remove sweat to the surface of the skin. It contains aluminum or zinc salts. 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 drugs say that they can 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.
Beauticians have developed a special tool that combines several actions: disinfecting the surface of the skin and eliminating the smell of sweat, combined with a reduction in its secretion. This drug is called an antiperspirant deodorant.
