Deodorants
Side Effects of Deodorants
Side effects of deodorants. Skin irritation, such as redness, itching, or rashes, is a common adverse effect of deodorant and is frequently brought on by alcohol, perfumes, or preservatives like parabens. Additional problems, especially with prolonged antiperspirant usage, may include skin pigmentation, stinging, blisters, or cysts. By changing the skin’s natural pH, certain natural deodorants with high baking soda concentrations may also irritate skin.
SIDE EFFECTS OF DEODORANTS
The purpose of commercial deodorants and antiperspirants is to prevent perspiration and odors throughout the day, and they usually work effectively. Many people are quite sensitive to smells; in fact, smelling them on other people can cause nausea, headaches, and allergic responses. At Wild June, we believe that nature provides us with the most pleasant fragrances through essential oils. Essential oils are entirely natural and derived from unprocessed plant material. But how do their active components affect your health?.Let’s examine the most frequent offenders and their negative effects in more detail.
Aluminum
Although long-term exposure to aluminum may be harmful to your health, it may prevent you from perspiring. Antiperspirant aluminum compounds literally plug your sweat glands, preventing sweat from flowing. Because they can’t escape, this might lead to a buildup of poisons in your pits. Studies reveal that these substances are also absorbed and deposited in fat cells, many of which are found under the arms. Furthermore, these substances may interact with hormone receptors in this region, potentially causing endocrine disturbance. It’s possible that these estrogen-mimicking substances encourage the development of cancer cells.
Parabens;
For the past 70 years or more, parabens have been a common preservative in many personal care products. They are yet another substance that mimics estrogen, upsetting the hormonal balance in the body and possibly encouraging the formation of cancer. 2004 saw a study that connected parabens to breast cancer. You should absolutely stay away from this when it comes to skincare!
Fragrance;
Nowadays, practically every personal care product available on the market has fragrance. Fragrance oils have an issue in that they contain a lot of components that are exempt from consumer disclosure laws. Many compounds included in a single scent have the potential to harm your skin and other organ systems, as well as trigger allergies and skin irritation.
Summary
Apply deodorant on dry, clean skin, let it dry before dressing, and use only a thin coating to prevent overapplication. Applying antiperspirants at night maximizes their ability to prevent perspiration.
