Product helps control sweat and makes you safe for day-to-day activities
Antiperspirants are products with the purpose of reducing the excessive sweating of the skin and consequently the bad smell. They are usually composed of aluminum salts, one of the most effective assets against sweating.
For you to know more about the subject, Above has prepared the following material:
Why do we sweat?
In the armpits we have millions of sweat glands that are responsible for the production of sweat, whose main function is human thermoregulation, that is, controlling our body temperature.
On hotter days or during exercise, we tend to sweat more than normal, and when that happens, several bacteria that are in the region feed on our sweat and generate the dreaded “cc”.
Sweat is synonymous with health
Sweat is normal and healthy and may be more evident on hot days or during physical exercise.
In addition, some people have a condition called hyperhidrosis, which consists of sweating more than normal. For these cases, antiperspirants can be a great ally, being one of the most effective ways to control excessive sweating.
How do antiperspirants work against sweating?
The aluminum that is part of the product’s composition plays a fundamental role in the control of sweat. The aluminum salts dissolve in the skin forming a protective barrier that restricts access to the upper part of the sweat glands, making sweat more difficult to release.
In addition, these aluminum salts also contribute to minimize the smell associated with sweat, reducing the number of bacteria linked to the production of odors.
Antiperspirant or deodorant?
It is very common to confuse these two products, but there is a fundamental difference between them:
Deodorant: Protects against odor and provides a fragrant freshness sensation. However, it does not inhibit sweat;
Antiperspirant: Ensures the freshness you deserve with the action of selected fragrances. In addition, it inhibits body sweating and helps to reduce sweating.
