Every day, more than 3,000,000 sweat glands work and secrete fluid, without which our body could not maintain a normal temperature. In fact, sweat is odorless moisture. But in those places where it is produced (intimate zone, armpits, feet), microbes usually settle. Eating a product of sweat glands, they produce an unpleasant aroma.
Nowadays, there are many tools that help get rid of the smell of sweat - antiperspirant, talcum powder or deodorant. For men, the last option is considered the most effective. But before acquiring it is worth a lot to figure it out.
Stick or spray?
With excessive sweating, deodorant for men in the form of a spray is more effective. When used, it gives cool freshness. But, unfortunately, sprays are not always suitable for sensitive skin. In addition, they are recognized as the most uneconomical option in the fight against sweating.
Sticks are convenient for inveterate travelers, as they take up little space. Considered an analogue of ball deodorants, they are suitable for all skin types, but there should be a measure in everything. Excessive use will result in dryness and then irritation of the skin.
2 in 1
If sweat has a sharp and unpleasant odor, then your skin is a very comfortable place for bacteria to live. To eliminate this problem, a deodorant will be the best assistant. But when you use it, only the smell disappears.
If the body is characterized by profuse sweat, and there is no specific smell, you need to purchase an antiperspirant. The organic salts of aluminum and zinc, which are part of them, partially block the outflows, thereby reducing sweating. Lack of moisture is unacceptable for bacteria, so in the end you forget about the problem of bad smell. But the constant use of antiperspirant will not lead to anything good.
The category of promising funds include antiperspirant deodorant. For men, they are especially effective. On the one hand, the product will reduce perspiration by 2 times, and on the other, eliminate unpleasant odors.
Our skin needs perspiration, otherwise it will lose its natural defense. Therefore, all funds are suitable only for short-term use.
Useful for men: choosing the right protection
To choose cosmetics for the stronger sex is very difficult. The market is so crowded that sometimes you get lost in assortment. The choice is often based on personal preferences or depends on living conditions. For example, solid deodorants for men involved in sports are very convenient. They do not take up much space in the bag, and during flights they can be taken in hand luggage.
According to research, choosing a deodorant, a stronger sex focuses on the following characteristics:
- long term protection against unpleasant odor and sweat;
- increased level of effectiveness;
- feeling of freshness after application;
- skin care;
- pleasant persistent aroma.
Usually, when creating a deodorant for men, manufacturers pay special attention to the first two points. And this is right, because for consumers the most important thing is the duration of the action. Thanks to antibacterial components, sweating is not only reduced, but the smell of sweat is also minimized.
In addition, popular brands in their deodorants include ingredients (such as marine minerals) that moisturize the skin without causing irritation.
According to the form of release, the leading position was taken by sprays: 73% of the men surveyed said that they were easy to apply, 68% noted a quick drying on the skin, and 63% were confident in their even distribution.
However, due to the large spray radius, effective deodorant components rarely achieve their goal. Many are inclined to believe that part of the product simply goes into the air. The studies made can give impetus to the thoughts of manufacturers, so that they think about improving the format with a view to more efficient use.
