Antiperspirant is a skincare product that helps reduce underarm sweating.
This is not to be confused with deodorant, which is only there to combat the bad odour.
Antiperspirants work by blocking the pores on the outer layer of your skin, reducing the amount of sweat allowed to the surface.
Aluminium salts are included in anti-perspirants to help reduce the sweat flow in the underarm area.
The salts restrict access to the upper part of the sweat glands so that it is more difficult for sweat to be released.
The aluminium salts also play a part in minimising the smell associated with sweat, by reducing the number of bacteria linked to odour production.
There are roll on and stick anti-perspirants.
The main difference between roll on and stick anti-perspirant is that the roll on is liquid or gel and leaves a wet sensation on the skin, while the stick is solid and doesn’t leave behind a wet sensation.
Dos and Dont’s for using anti-perspirants
Use anti-perspirant to reduce sweating and odours — deodorants help you to freshen your underarm.
Shake your anti-perspirant well before every use to get the full protection you need. For better efficacy, apply anti-perspirant after your evening shower before going to bed.
Don’t apply antiperspirant to irritated or damaged skin.
Don’t get dressed before your antiperspirant has had time to dry completely. — www.nivea.co.uk.
