Antiperspirant or Deodorant?
Long lived has been the debate on whether one should use deodorant, antiperspirant, or both. The debate actually still goes on today among many. This article will help untangle the web of confusion regarding which underarm scent one should wear. But first, one must know the difference between deodorant and antiperspirant.
So what is the difference?
Many people usually look at antiperspirant and deodorant as the same thing. But really, there is one main difference. Deodorant is basically just a scent that helps keep your underarms fresh and clean smelling. Antiperspirant, on the other hand, is designed to clog the pores of your underarm to keep you from sweating. Most antiperspirants you buy in the store nowadays are also deodorants.
So why choose one over the other?
If you are not a big underarm sweater, plain old deodorant should be fine for you, just keep you smelling fresh. However, if your underarms rain like the showers of April, you may want to consider antiperspirant. This will keep you dry and help you avoid those embarrassing pit stains on your shirts. And no one wants to walk around with those!
I would normally try to stay away from antiperspirant though, unless it is totally necessary to save you from embarrassment. It’s not really healthy to be clogging your pores. If you use antiperspirant too much, they may become perpetually clogged, and you will end up with what are called skin tags. Skin tags are basically little flaps of skin that have grown over clogged pores.
Conclusion
So the choice is really up to you. Deodorant will keep you smelling fresh, and antiperspirant will keep you dry. Decide what your needs are and go from there!
