Let's assume that you are a hygienic person, that you shower daily and that you do your best to have a good body odor. Not all people smell the same, nor of the same intensity. The normal thing is that before leaving the house, whether it is to train or to go to work, we apply deodorant to last the entire day.
Eye! It is very ugly to go to train without proper hygiene, with the excuse that at the end of your training you are going to shower. If you do sports outdoors and alone, you have a pass; but in public spaces have compassion on your colleagues.
It is very common that throughout the morning you start to sweat and the smell accumulates, to the point of wondering if your deodorant has abandoned you for good. The question is: could you tell us why do you use deodorant and not antiperspirant?
Deodorant or antiperspirant? That is the question
Even if they seem the same thing to you and you buy it at random, and without any criteria, the reality is that they are two different products.
El Deodorant We could say that it is a fragrance that neutralizes your body odor with different aromas and perfumes. That "Hot Fever" or "Freshness" will sound familiar to you, which lasts less than a piece of candy in a schoolyard.
In contrast, antiperspirants they are a product that try to control the production of sweat. Not many are in favor of using them, since they have an aluminum compound that temporarily covers the pores in the armpit. Does it fulfill its function of controlling sweat? Yes, but naturally it works against your auto-cooling system.
The most common is that we consume a hybrid product of both, which contains aluminum and some fragrance to neutralize the smell. To find out what they are putting in your armpit, you just have to read the list of components.
Do you know when you should apply your deodorant?
«Of course, before leaving home. What question is this?»
Error! A study recently came out that advises applying the antiperspirant at night because we have a lower rate of natural sweating. When applying it in the morning the effectiveness will not be the same, because our body has started with physical activity and begins to sweat (even if it is not jet). Even if you have an excessive problem with sweat and want to increase the protective effect, you can also apply it in the morning.
As for the deodorant, being a fragrance, you can use it as a perfume and apply it in the morning. Make sure that it does not contain alcohol to prevent it from damaging your skin, and you can put it on as many times as you need throughout the day. Of course, do not be dirty and clean your armpits before applying it; you could get an inverse effect with the mixture of scents.
