When the heat arrives, antiperspirants are a salvation for many people from excessive sweating, and for most of them, their application is part of the morning hygiene routine. But when the sun really burns, it can seem like even antiperspirants aren't effective enough, but that can be changed with just one swipe.
Antiperspirants work by blocking the sweat glands and thus reducing sweating and solving the problem of unpleasant odor, while deodorants destroy bacteria that form on the skin under the armpits and cause the unpleasant smell of sweat.
Many experts explain that blocking sweating is not healthy for our body. The ingredient of antiperspirants - aluminum salt - has long been the subject of numerous studies and is considered to have a negative effect on our health.
If you really can't do without antiperspirant, it's good to know how to use it correctly, that is, what time of day is best to apply it. Contrary to our habits of applying it in the morning, it is much better to apply antiperspirants in the evening, that is, before going to bed - that way they will be maximally effective.
Before going to sleep, people usually sweat the least, which gives the active ingredients in antiperspirants enough time to create surface plugs in the sweat ducts overnight. Those suppositories will thus be ready to prevent the occurrence of sweating in the morning.
If antiperspirant is applied to already sweaty skin, the sweat will just wash it off before it even takes effect. Applying antiperspirant to damp or wet skin can cause irritation or itching.
A good quality antiperspirant is enough to apply twice a week and it will be effective all the time, and when it comes to quantity, apply two strokes up and two strokes down each armpit.
