deoderant

[lop]

ive been reccomended a deoderant called perspirex that you put on at night, apparently it has aluminium in but i was scared that might cause cancer or something? do you think its safe, also it says after 2 weeks you will only need to apply it 2wice a week and not need to use deoderant

I was told by someone with medical qualifications that the main function of a deodorant is to make money for the manufacturer.  Only bodies that have been unwashed for several days actually smell.  Now that many (dare I say most) of us shower every day, the odour does not have time to happen.  (I am aware that millions of people in the world have no clean water, but I suggest that the freshness of their armpits is not a priority for them).

Read this before I saw your earlier question.

Dont use deodorant with aluminium in it. You can buy anti perspirant/deodrants at the Health Shop but I must admit they don't work as well.  In this hot weather you might need deodorant a bit more, but always wash it off at night before you go to bed.  Also in the morning,  instead of deodorant, try bathing underarm with a couple of drops of Tea Tree Oil mixed with a little soap on a sponge, it is a good anti bacterial.
