Deodorant: Protection
Whether from exertion,
stress or heat – sweating is a normal reaction with which our body regulates its temperature. However, sweating can also quickly cause unpleasant odours and excessive moisture, especially under the arms. Modern deodorants or antiperspirants counteract unpleasant odours and provide a feeling of
freshness throughout the day. Antiperspirants, on the other hand, also counteract perspiration itself.
Deodorant or antiperspirant?
What is the difference between a deodorant and an antiperspirant? A product that merely prevents body odour is called a deodorant. Deodorants kill bacteria or keep them from further multiplying. In addition, they mask body odours with a pleasant fragrance. People who perspire very little by nature or who don’t wish to interfere with the amount of perspiration their bodies produce, are advised to choose a deodorant. Even those who consciously choose products free of aluminium salts should choose deodorant, because all the products in the
NIVEA range that are called “deodorant” are guaranteed to be free of aluminium salts. People who perspire more and want to reduce their
natural production of perspiration should use an antiperspirant. An antiperspirant effectively inhibits the formation of sweat under the arms, thus delaying the formation of unpleasant body odours and wet stains on clothing. These products contain aluminium salts which, based on studies conducted by renowned experts, are believed to be harmless to health. Deodorants and antiperspirants are most effective when used on clean
skin. To maintain a well-groomed feeling throughout the day, it is best applied in the morning straight after showering.
A deodorant for all occasions: spray or roll-on
Sprays or roll-ons – which deodorant type do you prefer? A deodorant spray feels particularly
fresh. It rests gently on your
skin, keeping your armpits virtually dry so you can get dressed almost immediately. The hygienic application and wonderful
fresh scent are also some of the pros of using deodorant sprays. To get optimum
protection performance,
shake your deodorant before use.
NIVEA deodorant sprays also come in a practical mini format for
freshness on the go! The movable ball in a roll-on deodorant ensures a simple application. Moreover, roll-on deodorants are very gentle on the
skin and thus also suitable for delicate and
sensitive armpits. Deodorant atomisers are popular for their hygienic application and the feeling of
freshness they provide; deodorant sticks are considered environ
mentally friendly; deodorant creams have a particularly
protective effect. If you want to be sure to avoid deodorant stains on your clothing, you should opt for deodorants that have special ingredients to prevent the formation of
white residues on
black clothes or yellowish stains on
white fabrics.
