Don't let sweat dampen your summer vibes. Discover the ultimate arsenal of deodorants to keep you dry and odor-free. ☀️
Luckily, there are many terrific odor-stopping ingredients in deodorants and antiperspirants these days, both natural and synthetic. And there are varying degrees of antiperspirant control for those who don’t mind the aluminum . For insight into the most common ingredient options, we spoke with board-certified dermatologist Corey L. Hartman, M.D., Founder of
in Birmingham, AL. Here is his take on those ingredients, which should help you narrow down the type of deodorant that suits you best.The following ingredients are off-putting to some, but embraced by others. Here is Hartman’s two cents on each. Moisture and odor often go hand in hand, and aluminum is a key sweat-duct-blocking agent used in antiperspirants.
“Baking soda creates a more alkaline environment on skin,” says Hartman. Skin is naturally acidic, the opposite of alkaline. “On the one hand, this can help neutralize body oil from excess sweat mixed with bacteria naturally found on the skin’s surface. However, baking soda can be harsh for anyone with overly sensitive skin.
He says that the switch from antiperspirant to regular deodorant should take about a week for the body to readjust to a lessened sweat cycle—but again, to expect excess odor. “The increase in smell is going to stem from the fact that aluminum is no longer blocking the sweat glands under the arms, so you will sweat more, which will lead to an increase in odor. Sweat mixed with the bacteria naturally found on the skin will increase odor overall.
