It controls the discharge of sweat and can be used on any part of the body where sweating is a problem, helping the body stay dry. If hand sweating is severe and you want to cure it, you can use minimally invasive surgery for treatment. But please note that hands are particularly sensitive parts of the body, so try not to use antiperspirant. Washing hands frequently, paying attention to diet, and drinking plenty of water can have good results. Pay more attention to your diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and do appropriate exercise. Antiperspirant can be applied to the armpits, elbows, neck and other parts of the body where sweating occurs frequently. However, antiperspirant can only be used to stop sweat in a small area and cannot be used on the whole body.

Can I use antiperspirant while breastfeeding?

Antiperspirants contain some chemicals, so they should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. After giving birth, the mother will definitely be very weak and prone to sweating a lot, but she cannot use any antiperspirant products. Once used, it is easy for some chemical components to enter the blood and appear in breast milk. If the baby eats breast milk containing chemical components, it will harm the baby's health. I hope mothers must pay attention to this. The main active ingredient of antiperspirant is generally aluminum salt, and it also contains moisturizers, including glycerin, emulsifiers, perfume ingredients, etc. Antiperspirant generally does not penetrate into breast milk and will not affect the quality of milk. However, it is not recommended for mothers to use antiperspirant for a long time during breastfeeding. Mothers can use a towel to wipe the body or take a bath frequently.

Is antiperspirant good for your body?

not good. Antiperspirant contains formaldehyde, and its main function is to extend the shelf life. Generally, antiperspirant is used directly on human skin, but if the body's resistance is poor, it may cause poisoning. Of course, symptoms such as coughing, weakness, headache, and difficulty breathing may also occur, which are mainly caused by formaldehyde. Antiperspirants are generally used in summer because the human body sweats a lot in summer, and many toxins in the body are excreted through sweat. However, if you use antiperspirant for a long time, it will inhibit the body from sweating, which will cause the pores to be clogged, and metabolites or toxins will not be excreted normally, which will increase the burden on the kidneys and cause damage to the kidneys, muscles, etc. Sweating can lower body temperature through the evaporation of sweat, and sweat also moisturizes and protects the skin. If antiperspirant is used for a long time, it may cause hyperthermia, which can lead to shock or even death in severe cases.
