 Well, when the cloud freshness surrounds you all day and gives self-confidence, but most importantly, all the same - not to harm your health!
How nice that Gone are the days when a hot day it was impossible to enter the transport of suffocating odor surrounding the heated passenger when due yellowish circles armpits had to throw away your favorite blouse. Finally, mankind has learned to deal with this unpleasant consequence of the hot season - then. Rather, he sweat is still here, it's a natural reaction of the body to change the temperature of both the body and the environment. Overheating - sweat, everything is natural, but the smell - is another question! It turns out that he sweat has no odor, and call it micro-organisms whose livelihoods in a moist environment and is accompanied by such a disgusting "fragrance."
Sweat glands in the body a lot, or 2, or 3 million, and they are working day and night, protecting us from overheating. Is endocrine glands - they just react to changes in temperature, and apocrine have that power sweating react to emotional stimuli (pleasure, pain, fear, etc.).
Before fighting with the smell of sweat, you need to analyze why we sweat, in fact, sweating accompanied with an unpleasant smell and some very serious diseases, wrong metabolism, hormonal disorders.
Well, if the causes are natural, there are two ways to combat the smell of perspiration: deodorants and antiperspirants.
What good deodorant? They are struggling with the smell, but not by then, so I do not violate the body's thermoregulation. They include perfumes, as well as substances that destroy microorganisms, components, skin softening. Cons: often components of deodorants cause allergies or skin irritation. However, there are hypoallergenic and odorless deodorants.
 Antiperspirants reduce perspiration. Their components - aluminum salts, at least zinc, which narrow, and sometimes simply close the ducts of the sweat glands. The skin remains dry for a few hours, which is of course very convenient, but not safe.
Delay sweating during active gym, physical and emotional stress can cause swelling of the armpits.
There is another warning. In recent years, medical journals, there were reports that parabens - preservatives that are used in the cosmetics industry, is not so harmless as previously thought. They can be accumulated in the body and is particularly harmful to the state of the mammary glands.
Paraben itself is very similar to the female sex hormone - estrogen. But an excess of estrogen in the body increases the risk of the so-called hormone-dependent tumors, so do not abuse the cosmetics, which consists of parabens, including antiperspirant and deodorant. Just they are the most dangerous, since they use much of parabens hits the axillary region, which is associated with breast numerous lymphatic vessels.
In fairness, I note that manufacturers of cosmetics with these conclusions physicians disagree, but I think in any case it is advisable to restrict the use of antiperspirants within reasonable limits and do not abuse them unnecessarily.
Before using the cosmetic product, carefully review its composition: If there is a choice, it is better to acquire funds, which do not include aluminum salts and parabens.
