Deodorant stick: what is it, types and uses

To combat sweating, quite a lot of various effective agents were invented, among them a stick is quite common. This type of antiperspirant compares favorably with both price and quality.

The word is translated from English as “bar” or “stick”, but nevertheless, in our everyday life its designation “pencil” has taken root. Such a deodorant consists of an oblong solid substance that fills the entire bottle and is advanced using a special rod through rotating movements. The substance in its composition contains special elements that help reduce the work of sweat glands, and therefore, block them. After applying the stick to the skin, a kind of film absorbs moisture on it, so the sticks are mainly antiperspirants. In addition, when using them, the number of bacteria on the skin is significantly reduced.

A line of such products offers products for both women and men. They are easy to use and very compact in size.

Like any deodorant, a stick has its advantages and disadvantages. The main positive aspects of its use include:

• practicality;
• health safety;
• small size;
• profitable price;
• resistance to destruction.

Among other varieties, female deodorant stick stands out for its shape and design. Roller or ball ones can leak in a bag, gel products are quite expensive, and the sprays, in addition to running out pretty quickly, are also large, making it difficult to put them in a small bag. But still, the main advantage of this tool can be considered its compactness., because people with excessive sweating need to use a deodorant even outside the home. Therefore, its small size greatly simplifies its transportation - it is easy to place even in a small cosmetic bag.

Ease of use of the stick is also a very important criterion, because if it suddenly falls, it will not break or spill, its shape will remain intact.

Despite the rather small size, sticks can be used for a long time: they are smeared very slowly. People who use this type of deodorant may well be confident in their safety for their health. Such agents undergo many clinical studies proving that they do not cause allergic reactions and irritations at the places of use, but, on the contrary, gently protect the skin. Many sticks not only prevent the appearance of sweat, but also give the skin a pleasant smell. Despite the large list of deodorant-stick advantages, its use has its drawbacks.

The main task of the stick is not only to reduce the production of sweat and eliminate its smell, but also not to spoil the aesthetic appearance of clothes, not to form spots in the application area. By and large, it is not typical for sticks to leave stains on clothes, but at high temperatures this option is still possible. In addition, people with dry underarm skin should not use this type of deodorant, since most of them contain a sufficient amount of alcohol, which makes the dermis drier and can lead to irritation in this case.

So that the use of an antiperspirant does not harm the skin, but only brings a positive result, You need to follow a few simple rules:

• apply the product in a thin layer after washing on clean, dry skin (can not be applied on wet);
