Rating of women's deodorants

Today it is difficult to imagine life without deodorant. An unpleasant smell of sweat can spoil the impression of even a perfectly created female image. And then your beautiful makeup, sophisticated hairstyle and fashionable clothes will fade against the background of the repelling amber. The choice of a deodorant only at first glance seems like a simple task. In practice, women face a lot of nuances. And most of them, alas, are learned from their own sad experience.

Deodorants have been known to women for a long time. True, they were not the same as modern ones. To mask unpleasant odors, they have always tried to use strong scents that drown out natural body odors. Even the women of Ancient Egypt used aromatic vegetable oils for this purpose. The beauties of the East traditionally used incense, and ancient Greek and Roman women attached bags of fragrant herbs to their clothes. In Ancient Russia, incense was used, which was impregnated with oatmeal balls.

When the world learned about the existence of bacteria, the approach to creating deodorants changed dramatically - manufacturers began to think not only about masking odors, but also about eliminating their root cause. So, aluminum salts, formic acid and tannins - oak bark were introduced into the composition of deodorants. The first deodorant for women similar to the modern one appeared in the USA in 1888. It was pasty. The first perfumed deodorant appeared at the beginning of the last century. Then there were also convenient forms for use - a ball-on, a spray.

The modern best antiperspirant deodorants for women contain zinc oxide, which has antibacterial activity, and aluminum compounds. And the best is considered a remedy that is not only effective against the unpleasant odor of the production of the sebaceous glands, but also protects against increased sweating, affecting the work of the glands themselves. Today, deodorant lines are produced by a wide variety of manufacturers, we included interesting and noteworthy brands in the rating.

All women's sweat protection products can be divided into expensive, inexpensive and mid-priced. The most affordable brands include deodorants. Garnier, Rasyan... Medium price category funds - DeoNat, Odaban, DryDry, Weleda. Expensive premium funds - Vichy, Korres.

Sprays, rollers and sticks are distinguished by shape. Each species has its own advantages and disadvantages.

A stick deodorant is a solid deodorant often referred to as a "stick". The principle of operation is to clog the sweat glands with a protective film. Rasyan Crystal Ginger & Tamarind is famous for its natural composition, which contains aluminum alum, which inhibits the growth of bacteria. For humans, they are completely safe. The composition is supplemented with green tea extract and aloe.

Another stick that acts more to mask an unpleasant odor. But this does not diminish its other merits. For example, deodorant copes well with the healing of small wounds, has a moderate antifungal effect, and therefore can be used immediately after hair removal for especially sensitive skin.

A big plus of this tool is its economy.... The tool lasts a long time, about a year, even if you use it daily. Does not contain perfumery fragrances, does not interfere with perfume smells.

Antiperspirants are considered more reliable. - cosmetics that not only mask odors, but resist the root cause of their appearance, that is, suppress perspiration. Among the group of antiperspirants, the top 3 leaders should be distinguished.

A roll-on antiperspirant that provides protection from unpleasant odors, according to manufacturers, within two days. In practice, of course, less, but in general, the tool is in great demand due to its affordability and a convenient roller that makes it easier to use. The composition is antibacterial, but at the same time hypoallergenic, the texture is light, does not clog pores.

The composition of this cosmetic product is balanced, ensuring that two conditions are met at once - it regulates the work of the sweat glands, preventing profuse sweating, and also prevents pathogenic bacteria from multiplying and causing the very stifling unpleasant odor.

Does not contain alcohols, does not irritate even very sensitive skin, can be applied immediately after epilation, has a uniform consistency and is well distributed over the skin. Does not leave marks on clothes. Dries quickly.

Some manufacturers use natural antimicrobial supplements as the main ingredient. One of the best among these is this remedy. Pomegranate deodorant provides protection for about a day, but is ideal for particularly sensitive and vulnerable skin. The antibacterial effect is mild and does not irritate the skin. Essential oils of pomegranate do not create a suffocating amber, their aroma is subtle and unobtrusive.

The roller applicator allows you to apply the product evenly. Absorbs quickly, does not stain clothes. Dermatologists consider the cosmetics of this brand to be one of the best, adapted for problem skin, and therefore the use can be daily without risk.

Deodorant is considered one of the most reliable and trustworthy. It does not contain essential oils or chemical fragrances, which makes the product universal - both men and women can use it with equal success.

The fact of safety is also recognized by dermatologists, and therefore it can often be found on the shelves of pharmacists among other pharmacy products. Valid until 12 o'clock; if a woman moves a little and almost does not sweat, then the action will be enough for a day.

The aroma of green tea is so subtle and delicate that most women like it, it does not "interfere" with the perfume, at the same time, unpleasant odors of sweat are reliably neutralized for the whole working day, even if the lady is actively involved in sports, exercising, and running.

An amazing aroma is achieved thanks to the presence of green tea leaves and olives in the extract. The latter, rich in oil, have a healing effect, and therefore the agent can be used immediately after epilation.

Most manufacturers indicate that their funds can "work" for two days. In fact, this is a highly exaggerated information, moreover, much depends on the activity of a particular woman, on physical activity, ambient temperature, individual characteristics of the work of the sweat glands. Below are the products that last longer than others.

The plus lies not only in the fact that the product really stays on the skin for a long time, but also in the fact that the whole family can use it - men, adolescents, the elderly. The unisex scent does not scream about the gender purpose of the product. An antiperspirant designed to provide protection in hot and active conditions. In addition to the antibacterial composition, it boasts a mineral absorbent, the main task of which is to absorb excess moisture.

This deodorant is well known to women, especially active women involved in sports. Its manufacturers recommend buying for women suffering from increased sweating in stressful situations. The tool effectively regulates the excessive work of the sweat glands. The consumption is minimal - in order to obtain the desired effect, a very small amount of deodorant is enough.

The product is hypoallergenic, the aroma does not conflict with perfume smells, and therefore you can not worry about the aromatic bouquet of your perfume.

In many ways, choosing a deodorant is an intimate and very delicate matter. We all sweat, but everyone sweats at their own intensity. One woman only sweats when she runs or works out in the gym, while the other reacts with sweating to any stress - a reprimand from her boss, a rush at work. After 51 years, women usually enter the period of menopause, and the work of the glands undergoes changes. The intensity of sweating changes during pregnancy, and also directly depends on the phase of the menstrual cycle. Based on this, there is no universal advice, and women's forums are of little use when choosing a deodorant - what suits one does not necessarily suit the other.

You should focus on personal experience, on your own preferences in smells. The rest of the choice will help facilitate a set of simple rules.

• From profuse sweating, if a lady is very sweating, antiperspirants will help... For the most part, aluminum salts are introduced into their composition, which regulate the lumen of sweat ducts. Such funds should be applied exclusively to clean skin so as not to cause pathological blockage of the ducts and subsequent inflammation. Antiperspirants are not recommended by experts at night.
• With moderate sweating, but a pungent smell of sweat as an individual feature of the female body, experts advise sprays. They usually contain triclosan and farnesol, which inhibit the growth of bacteria. There are also pharmaceutical remedies for sweat in the form of gels and creams with similar compositions. They take a little longer to apply, but they are no less effective.

If you don't have a deodorant at hand at the right time, don't despair. The centuries-old history has accumulated hundreds of folk remedies for eliminating perspiration and masking odors. For example, following the example of Brazilian women, you can use lemon, the slices of which are placed in the armpits for five minutes. There is also a known recipe for vinegar water with the addition of rosehip oil, which can be used to treat armpits. These products are irritating and should not be used after epilation.

If a woman sweats a lot and there is no deodorant, you can use regular baby powder as a temporary "emergency" remedy. But the frequent use of talcum powder is dangerous by blockage of the ducts of the glands and the development of a local inflammatory process.

It is clear that everyone wants to choose a deodorant that will not stain clothes. In this case, it is imperative to read the composition. It should be free of oils and parabens. If the precautions did not help and the clothes turned out to be stained, it is worth using a universal stain remover or the most common dish detergent before washing. They quickly break down fats, after which the thing can be washed as usual, without fear that streaks will remain.

If you like solid deodorants, then too often experts advise against using them. They can contribute to excessive dryness of the skin, which is fraught with irritation, flaking, and cracks. A careful study of the composition will help you anticipate some long-term consequences:

• aloe extract in the composition does not contribute to a significant decrease in sweating as such;
• calendula in the composition, it can excessively dry the skin with daily constant use;
• presence in the composition cyclomethicone guarantees that the cosmetic product will effectively moisturize problem and irritated skin;
• presence in the composition diethyl ether PPG-15 gives the product the ability to dry almost instantly;
• Availability propylene glycol may be dangerous for allergy sufferers;
• Availability phthalates as part of a deodorant is undesirable for women during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

After evaluating the composition, you should pay attention to the shape. Many manufacturers make several forms in one name, and there are reasons for this.

• Sticks very popular, because they are convenient to use and carry with you in your purse just in case, they do not stain your clothes. Among their disadvantages is the presence of rather aggressive substances in the composition, as well as a high probability of the product "rolling" in the armpit in conditions of heat, high temperature and heavy traffic. The rolled deodorant cannot cope with the duties assigned to it.
• Roller ball types of cosmetic products moisturize the skin under the armpits, refresh well. They do not so often "pass" before the heat, as the sticks, do not roll, as they lie on the skin with a thin uniform film. And if used correctly, there are more pluses than minuses from them. The disadvantages include the frequent presence of alcohol in the composition, especially in inexpensive deodorants, and this is not very useful for sensitive skin. In addition, the film, if not washed off for a long time, can cause irritation and inflammation in the area of ​​application.
• Powder - in this form, the antiperspirant is applied exclusively to clean and dry skin. This form is most preferable for women with oily skin. Powdery forms are not very suitable for heat and sports, but they also have a big plus - they are often produced with fragrances from well-known perfume brands.
• Creams and gels - these forms are ideal for almost everyone, including allergy sufferers. Both forms are easy to apply, gently moisturize, and are well absorbed. May leave marks on clothing if there is not enough time between application and dressing.
• Spray good in the absence of alcohol and the presence of antimicrobial components. Deodorants in this form are easy to apply, give a feeling of freshness, tolerate hot weather and extreme stress well.
• In the form of napkins - an excellent tool for use in places that are not entirely convenient for performing hygiene procedures. Such deodorant products can be taken on a hike or on a train, on an airplane.

A good antiperspirant for women has a balanced composition, a convenient dispenser. But a lot depends not only on cosmetics, but also on the way of life. Deodorant alone is not enough to reduce sweating.

Often on thematic women's forums, the question is asked about which female deodorant is still better. Often women are in constant search for an answer, since one brand of care product copes with sweat, but does not completely eliminate the smell, and the other eliminates the smell, but the problem of sweating and wet armpits remains. We analyzed the reviews and found the leaders whom women recommend to each other most often.

• Oriflame - as the advantages of the brand's products, a reasonable ratio of low price and quality of a deodorant is called. At the same time, the product copes with profuse sweating, and the shirt in the armpits does not get wet.
• Dry dry - is in demand not only among women who are actively involved in sports, but also among those suffering from hyperhidrosis - pathologically high sweating.
• Linen Dry by Rexona Are very popular and widespread products preferred by many women. The delicate aroma of the product is especially noted, which is pleasant in itself.

Often women suffering from high sweating recommend purchasing alum from the pharmacy. If financial possibilities permit, then the main recommendation is solid deodorants, which solve the main problem - increased secretion of sweat glands. In their responses, women urge not to blindly follow advertisements, which are so common on television and radio.

In the next video, you will find an episode of the TV show "Test Purchase", dedicated to women's antiperspirant deodorant roll-ons.
