Move Comfortably All Day: Transitioning to a Natural Deodorant
In a normal process, the body will adapt to environmental temperatures that are too hot, one of which is by sweating so that the body becomes cooler. But, it's a different story if sweat has interfered with appearance, personal comfort to disturb others who risk drastically reducing self-confidence, including the problem of smelly and wet armpits.
What Causes Armpits to Smell and Stay Wet All Day?
Everyone's physical condition is different so the amount of sweat and body odor is different. Wet and smelly armpits are the result of some of the following causes:
- Weather factors: people who live in low-lying areas (beaches and surrounding areas) tend to sweat more than people who live in high altitudes (mountains).
- Excessive physical activity: your armpits will sweat more if you engage in high-intensity physical activity. The appearance of sweat is a natural mechanism to stabilize body temperature while you are actively moving.
- Wearing clothes that do not absorb sweat: Some types of clothing materials such as polyester, nylon, and rayon are characterized by not absorbing sweat. Thus, sweat that fails to evaporate gets trapped between the skin and the shirt and creates a sour odor.
The good news is, there are tips you can apply to reduce this condition. From diet management to deodorant selection.
-
Shave armpit hair
Underarm hair traps sweat so that it builds up. Meanwhile, the area is ideal for bacteria to breed, resulting in an unpleasant odor.
-
Choose clothes with materials that absorb sweat
Choose clothes made of cotton or materials that can absorb sweat well. That way, the skin can breathe more freely. Not only that, you should choose clothes that are loose so that air circulation is also better.
Regular bathing, on the other hand, is a natural way to reduce sweating. It helps control sweat and bacteria production due to body odor. Not only that, you can use warm water that is not too hot so that the body remains comfortable but the body does not have to adjust to high temperatures.

Using Deodorant
Deodorant is a product specially formulated to solve body odor problems. The content of deodorant can eradicate bacteria that cause body odor so that sour-smelling sweat no longer appears. Nevertheless, you will still sweat after using deodorant even though the aroma is not annoying.
When it comes to body care, we all desire what benefits our bodies and planet. We can achieve this by using products that contain botanical ingredients.
Natural deodorants are free from the chemicals, they’re typically made with natural ingredients like coconut oil and aloe vera extract. Compare this with traditional deodorants, where you commonly find toxic ingredients like aluminum, alcohol, parabens, and triclosan.
Unlike their chemical cousins, natural deodorants absorb moisture and mask body odor, rather than simply preventing your body from sweating. And that’s inherently a good thing. After all, your body needs to naturally sweat (within reason of course). Natural deodorants help to keep body odor at bay by preventing natural bacteria from blending with salt and water on your skin.
