Can't use antiperspirant frequently? Is spray or roller better?

Antiperspirant is a skin care product used to stop sweating. Many people have used it, and some people use it frequently. So we need to understand here whether antiperspirant cannot be used frequently? What harm will long-term use of antiperspirant cause to the body?

Is it true that antiperspirant should not be used frequently?

Yes, long-term use of antiperspirant will definitely have certain side effects and will be irritating to the body. The antiperspirant ingredients in antiperspirant, such as aluminum salts, alum, tannic acid, etc., can damage the skin. It is best to control the dosage and be careful not to overuse it. Frequent use will lead to the inability to excrete toxins from the body. The discharge of sweat is not only a loss of body water, but also a form of detoxification. Frequently preventing this behavior is not very friendly to the body. It is recommended that you do not use antiperspirants. If you feel that sweating is not clean, you can change clothes and take a shower frequently. In addition, sweat contains lactic acid, which combines with fatty acids secreted by sebaceous glands to form a natural bactericidal agent, which can prevent bacterial invasion and protect skin health.

What harm will long-term use of antiperspirant cause to the body

Be careful of skin diseases if you use antiperspirants frequently. It is understood that antiperspirants contain antiperspirant ingredients, commonly used ones are aluminum salts, alum, tannic acid, etc. These antiperspirant ingredients can temporarily block the sweat gland ducts that secrete sweat, and even destroy the sweat gland cells, causing them to atrophy, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing sweat secretion. There is certainly nothing wrong with using antiperspirant products to keep yourself cool and not disturb others. However, some experts say that excessive and frequent use of antiperspirants will prevent the metabolic waste of sweat glands from being discharged normally, causing continuous irritation to the skin. Especially products with added fragrances will not only irritate skin wounds, but may also cause other adverse reactions in the body. Long-term use of antiperspirant products will inhibit the body's normal perspiration, resulting in the inability to discharge heat from the body. This will cause the body temperature to rise and the body will experience discomfort such as dizziness and chest tightness.

Is antiperspirant spray better or roll-on?

Antiperspirant lotion and spray have the same function. The antiperspirant ingredients enter the skin, stop the sweat glands from working, and thus temporarily suppress the large amount of sweat secretion. Choose antiperspirant lotion or antiperspirant spray according to user needs. Generally, roll-on antiperspirant is used underarms, and spray can be used on other parts such as neck and back. The texture of antiperspirant is emulsion, usually packaged in a roll-on plastic bottle, while the texture of spray is liquid, usually packaged in a pressure can or nozzle bottle. The fragrance concentration of antiperspirant is very low, and the fragrance lasts for a relatively short time, but it has a good deodorizing effect; the fragrance effect of the spray is even better. Although the fragrance concentration is not high, the aerosol texture can volatilize the fragrance better, and the fragrance effect will be better. Antiperspirant is mainly used on the armpits where sweating occurs more frequently, while spray can be used on more areas, such as the neck, inside of the joints, and back.
