Sweaty discharge usually occurs with physical stress, especially in those people who are extremely excitable in the nervous system. Sweating is sometimes peculiar to appear even with the appearance of insignificant emotional excitement.
What is sweat? This secret, secreted by sweat glands, contains 97-99 percent of water with a small amount of salts (chlorides, phosphates, sulfates), as well as urea, uric acid salts, creatinine and other substances. In addition to the sweat glands, some areas of the body (armpits, the area around the anus, the inguinal region) have specific apocrine glands secreting a secret that contains more proteinaceous substances. Decomposing on the surface of the skin, they cause a specific smell, which can be extremely harsh in some people.
Under normal conditions, the daily amount of sweat is 400-600 ml, but under certain conditions, sweating can increase to 10 or more liters per day!
Under the influence of the relevant parts of the nervous system, the sweat composition changes. Known is a kind of "sticky" sweat that appears with strong mental experiences. The time of heavy muscular work in sweat contains a significant percentage of lactic acid. An unpleasant smell of sweat is the main explanation - it decomposes the contained urea and ammonia is released. Closer to the surface of the skin, the secretion of the sebaceous glands (normally - from 100 to 300 g during the week), which contains olein and palmitin, salts of fatty acids, cholesterol, proteins, extractives, can always be admixed to the sweat.
Wash your face properly
To prevent not only skin diseases, but also a number of other diseases, it is necessary to ensure proper and proper hygienic care. Water and soap is quite possible to remove from the surface of the skin all the remains of extraneous layers and clean it. Soap easily dissolves skin fat, mixed with dust, promotes loosening and removal of the upper layers of the epidermis. Miscible with fatty grease, remnants of sweat and accumulated dirt, a lot of microbes, soap releases the gland ducts.
Considerable attention should be given to the water temperature. Daily washing, it is best to use water at room temperature. To increase the resistance of the body to external influences, it is recommended to conduct daily washings with cold water. It can easily and quickly excite the vascular and nervous system and harden the body. People with increased nervous excitability, before proceeding to cold water procedures, it is worth consulting with a neurologist. Hygienic washing of the whole body is sufficient to spend two or three times a week. The face, hands, neck, as well as areas of the body where sweat can accumulate and decompose, must be washed daily. So you can completely eliminate the smell of sweat every day without deodorant.
Deodorant is dangerous
Many of us simply do not know how to eliminate odor of sweat without deodorants. But this can be done, and even this is more preferable. Deodorants are hazardous to health. These funds today are great, they differ from each other both in composition and in action on the skin. Deodorants include antiperspirants, which, when exposed to the skin, reduce the production and release of sweat. But it was found that these substances not only reduce the secretion of sweat glands, but also sharply narrow the lumen of the excretory ducts, so they can cause a disease such as hydradenitis.
Hydradenitis is a purulent inflammation of the sweat glands caused by the pyogenic microbial staphylococcus. Most often seen in the armpits ("bumps udder"), where most of the large sweat glands; less often in the groin, anus. Hydradenitis begins with an inflammation of the sweat gland, then inflammation of the surrounding subcutaneous adipose tissue and skin is attached. In the depths of the skin appears one or several painful, the size of a pea of nodules, which rapidly increase to the size of a walnut; the skin over the inflamed gland blushes. The pain is sometimes so severe that it makes it difficult for the arm or leg to move. After a while, the nodules are softened and their dissection is performed. In this case, fistulous passages are formed, through which pus is released. The contents of pus get into the neighboring healthy glands and infect them, resulting in the formation of new nodules. After healing of the revealed hydradenitis, scars remain.
Hydradenitis is more common in women. Predispose to the disease weakening of the body, sweating, diaper rash, uncleanliness, abundant use of deodorants. Dermatologists advise choosing a deodorant with the lowest content of preservatives and which best suits your skin. Do not forget:
• Ensure that the deodorant has a hygienic certificate;
• find out the expiration date - the longer it is, the more preservatives.
BTW: preservatives are less if the deodorant is in a sealed package. Many preservatives in dry sticks and in deo-creams in tubes. There are fewer preservatives in ball deodorants.
If you have very sensitive skin, it is better not to use deodorants in a sealed package. You are more suitable neutral deo-creams or perfume powder. With dry skin, you should choose deodorants that contain moisturizing and healing substances (chitosan, chamomile extract, aloe, allantoin, etc.). Those who have sweat has a sharp smell, advise to use a deodorant with antibacterial additives. Anyone who constantly uses deodorants and does not allow the thought that it is possible to eliminate the unpleasant odor of sweat without deodorant, you need to know that these funds should be applied only to dry, well-washed skin. To use them during the day is not recommended, as deodorant applied during the release of sweat, can enhance the unpleasant odor.
