Deodorants for girls

Increased sweating in adolescents is associated with changes in physiology. This is a natural process of growing up, characterized by the restructuring of the hormonal system. However, increased sweating is not a very pleasant phenomenon, especially for girls. The main question that worries parents is whether a child can use special protective equipment, such as deodorants, so familiar to adults.

With the onset of puberty in the body of a teenager, big changes occur - growth, changes in the hormonal background and the nervous system lead to a regular increase in sweat secretion. Of course, every teenager is individual, but such transformations apply to all children. The peculiarity of baby sweat is the fact that there is no smell, but an unpleasant “aroma” appears when mixed with fungal and bacterial flora located on the hair.

With increased sweating in girls under 8 years of age, the use of any deodorants, according to doctors, is considered excessive. They recommend using wet wipes, devote more time to hygiene, and maintain an optimal climate in the child’s room.

According to statistics, the puberty of maturity can begin at 11-12 years, but in some developed adolescents earlier - at 9-10 years.

At this time, girls turning into girls can react most acutely to annoying odors. In this case, it is not enough to use clothes made from natural materials and conduct daily water procedures.But even at this age, specialists speak negatively about the use of store preparations, which, despite the advertised safety, still contain a number of undesirable chemicals harmful to the health of the adolescent.

In their opinion, in order not to sweat, it is allowed to use the most gentle means, such as talcum powder, baby powder or starch. You can also solve the problem using aromatic oils.

Deodorant for girls 11-12 years old, who have already begun menstruation, can really help if sweating is not too profuse. The composition of this product absorbs repulsive odor and only a faint aroma of fragrances is felt.

When an antiperspirant is used, sweat secretion is blocked, and, as a result, the sweat glands become blocked. The most dangerous preparations include substances that are harmful and toxic to the body - aluminum salts, triclosan, farnesol. It has been proven that such an antiperspirant component as aluminum hydrochloride, when deposited inside the sweat glands and accumulates in large quantities, can cause the development of bone tissue diseases, anemia and even dementia, especially with poor renal function.

At the moment, manufacturers of high-quality deodorants produce special series of gels and creams for teens, which contain the necessary minerals, antiseptic and antimicrobial compounds and natural essential oils that have beneficial effects on the epidermis.

On sale you can find the following types of deodorants:

• sprays with a soft, gentle composition that does not stress the skin;
• creams - the best, safe option for teenage girls, they can be used after shaving;
• The sticks are distinguished by a harmless composition, but the disadvantage of such a preparation is that in the heat it can roll on the skin, as well as leave marks on clothing;
• the most preferred option is deo-gel, the product reduces the production of sweat, saturates the skin with water and softens it, has an antibacterial effect (this is the most expensive product listed, but its price is fully justified by high quality).

When used, a thin film forms on the skin, which prevents the formation of sweat, but at the same time blocks the access of oxygen. The body does not breathe, and the result is the occurrence of discomfort, itching, redness and skin rashes.

It is also worth avoiding the child's use of any cosmetic remedies containing zinc oxide, which provokes inflammation, allergic rashes and other pathologies.

You can choose a harmless remedy for a teenager, if it contains such natural components as oak bark, sage and peppermint, antimicrobial substances, clay, starch, sodawith a drying effect, essential oils and minerals.

Among the many deodorants released for adolescence, it is better to choose proven agents that do not interfere with the natural function of sweating, much less cause dermatological complications.

Such drugs include:

• deodorant "Crystal" on a natural basis contains natural mineral salts of mountain volcanic origin;
• Altera - the product includes flax extract, vegetable oils, sea salt;
• a drug Nivea cares for the skin, does not have a pungent smell, is made on the basis of avocado oil, coconut, chamomile extracts;
• baby cosmetic Avon with a natural composition, there are a lot of positive reviews about this drug;
• deodorant Lavera contains rose extract and witch hazel flower water;
• high-quality deodorant has a harmless composition and caring properties Deonat, the basis of the composition of which is alum stone;
• Urtekram - a high-quality version of children's cosmetics, a completely natural composition and the presence of antimicrobial additives will help eliminate the strongest odors (all products from this manufacturer are considered environmental cosmetics, do not contain dyes, alcohol, parabens and synthetic compounds, along with getting rid of the smell of sweat, products are created to moisturize and skin nutrition, it includes hyaluronic acid and cold pressed coconut oil).

Any means that reduce the smell of sweat are easy to use, but if used improperly, they can cause additional problems, the most common of which are skin irritations.

Therefore, parents should explain to the child how to use the store tools correctly:

• Before applying, it is necessary to wash and dry the body;
• any deodorant must be washed off at night so that the skin can breathe during sleep;
• products applied to dirty skin instead of a positive effect cause an even more repulsive smell, the same applies to mixing deodorant with cologne or perfume;
• you can not use such drugs before a visit to the pool or sauna;
• when removing hair, rash or hyperemia, antiperspirant is not recommended, so as not to cause complications.
• deodorants are not intended to eliminate odors in intimate places - a special liquid soap is used for this.

In order to prevent an annoying smell, it is important to deal with sweat in all directions. For this, regular hygiene procedures, natural clothing, and the organization of a comfortable berth are necessary. A balanced diet and the rejection of salty, spicy and fatty foods and harmful products such as soda, hamburgers, and semi-finished products will also help significantly reduce sweat production. Only an integrated approach can give a positive result, and parents should take care of this.
