Bhubaneswar: Have you ever felt embarrassed about smelly armpits? Even after you had a long shower? Do commercial deodorants irritate your skin?
First, why do our pits smell?
Our underarms are a warm hangout spot for bacteria. When we sweat, the moisture is what they consume and their waste is what creates the smell. Our sweat itself doesn’t have a smell, Medical News Today explains.
There are two types of deodorants. Normal sprays use anti-microbial agents or alcohol to kill the bacteria. Antiperspirants, on the other hand, have aluminium-based salts that plug up sweat glands and stop sweating.
However, this can lead to more problems such as disturbing the balance of the skin ecosystem.
