Deodorants mask the smell of sweat with aromatic fragrances. Antiperspirants work radically by blocking perspiration by narrowing the pores of the sweat glands.
- Most deodorants "work" due to antibacterial substances in their composition: triclosan, alcohol or propylene glycol. They neutralize odor-causing bacteria for several hours.
- Antiperspirants work differently: aluminum or zinc salts penetrate into the skin - into the sweat glands. On contact with sweat, they thicken, blocking perspiration. Your underarms stay dry throughout the day. Well, or almost dry -))).
Because antiperspirants work against perspiration, use them wisely. If you are going to get a good sweat (in the gym or sauna), forget about them for a while. After excessive sweating, your friends are shower and deodorant.

How to use deodorant and antiperspirant
Deodorants are unpretentious: they work excellently from the moment they are applied to the skin. They can be used at any time. Refresh yourself when you feel that bacteria have taken over and protection is lacking.
Antiperspirants are not applied after a shower, as many of us do, but a few hours before bedtime. After all, the active ingredients need time to take effect.
- Apply antiperspirant to clean, dry skin. Otherwise, aluminum salts will bind to the components of the skin secretion on the surface of the skin and will not enter the sweat gland.
- Use antiperspirant no more than once a day. An antiperspirant puff cake that clogs pores under the armpits and causes irritation. If you want to freshen up, wash off the product, dry the skin and renew the protection.
