@dr.ljmaxfield: Why Whole Body Deodorant? “Whole body deodorant” is not for your whole body. So let’s start there. Mostly it’s for the pits, privates, and feet. Why? Apocrine sweat glands are in the pits and privates but not on the feet. Eccrine sweat glands are on the feet but not the pits and privates. But both areas have odor. It’s not just the sweat, or the type of sweat, it’s the bacteria that cleaves substances to create the smell. Most “whole body deodorants” are simply fragrance to mask the smell. But, if you use your old traditional antiperpirant deodorant, and there’s plenty that are alluminum free. It not only masks the smell, but it stops the sweat and stops the odor, before it starts. #deodorant #bodyodor #odor #wholebodydeodorant #skincaretips #SkinCare101 #dermatologist #armpit #skincarehacks
