Antiperspirants Don’t Let You Sweat

Taking care of yourself, watching what you eat and exercising, you might be a little increasingly sensitive approximately what you put on your body. While the myth that aluminum in deodorant causes breast cancer has been debunked, you might not feel comfortable with using antiperspirants that contain aluminum since they actually prevent you from sweating.

The aluminum in antiperspirants is drawn into the cells of your dermis (the middle layer of your skin), and it squeezes your sweat gland ducts closed, trapping sweat, preventing you from perspiring. It is not the sweat that constructs odor, but the bacteria on your skin and the sweat combined. There are some critical days when I can’t avoid antiperspirants, but other days I like to just use deodorant.

It seems increasingly natural.

I have tried many aluminum-free deodorants and here are some that I have liked.

Is there an aluminum free deodorant out there that you like? Let me know in the comment section below.
