Tips To Stay Fresh During Warmer Days

Tips To Stay Fresh During Warmer Days

Summer is here, and with it comes warmer temperatures and the dreaded sweat. But you don't have to be concerned about your body odor if you know how to deal with it. Below are some expert tips on how to stay fresh during these warmer months:

Different types of sweat

 

Sweat is a natural process that occurs when your body heats up. Sweat is produced by the body to cool down and can be categorized into two types: insensible and sensible.

  • Insensible sweat consists of water that evaporates from your skin, which is why you might feel clammy after being in the sun for long periods of time or when it's hot outside. You'll notice this type of sweating most often on parts of your body where there are large pores (like underarms), as well as armpits and groin area--these areas have lots of sweat glands that release moisture into the air around them so they don't overheat.*
  • Sensible sweat occurs when there's an increase in blood flow around the surface layer of skin cells due to heat exposure; this causes more moisture than usual within these cells resulting in more wetness coming out through pores.* Both types should be taken into consideration during warmer months because they can contribute differently depending on what kind clothing material may be worn during different situations (like hiking vs running errands).
  • There also is the composition of sweat from the body depending on different types of sweat glands. Depending on what type of sweat is being released, the bacteria on your skin will react and produce strong vapors creating malodor or body odor.

Keep your hygiene a priority

 

Shower regularly. This is a no-brainer, but it's important to keep your body clean and healthy.

  • Make sure you dry off well. Deodorants go on skin best when the skin is dry. Use a blowdryer on the cool setting to prepare your underarms for  your deodorant.

  • Your groin area should be pretty dry as well. You can also use a blow dryer on the cool setting to make sure you have a fresh head start into your day.


Wear Cotton



Cotton is a natural fabric that absorbs sweat and releases it as vapor. It is breathable, so you can stay cool on hot days. Cotton also feels comfortable against your skin, which makes it ideal for summer wear.

Cotton shirts are available in different styles and colors to suit your personal preferences. You can find a cotton shirt with short sleeves if you want something lightweight or long sleeves if you prefer more coverage from the sun's rays (or even just because they look good).

Cotton is really a prime option for warmer months. Air can circulate freely around all parts of your body without being obstructed by non-breathable fabrics such as nylon or polyester blends. Cotton also allows moisture from inside out rather than trapping it inside where bacteria could grow easily among damp clothing fibers after sweating too much causing malodorUse an antiperspirant or deodorant if needed.

Using an  antiperspirant or deodorant? Be sure to follow the directions on the package. Apply it at night ( if it says to do so) before bed so that it has time to dry and work throughout the day. If you apply it too soon after shaving, it may irritate your skin and cause bumps or rashes.

A deodorant is a cosmetic product used to mask, reduce, or eliminate underarm odor by killing bacteria that cause it. An antiperspirant, on the other hand, is typically applied to the underarms and it reduces or stops sweat from coming out of the pores by plugging them up.It's also important not overdo it:

Antiperspirants and Deodorant

 

Talk to your health care provider about excessive sweat.

Deodorant and antiperspirant are made to keep you fresh, but what's the difference between them? 

Antiperspirants work by blocking your sweat glands. They contain aluminum compounds that prevent sweat from coming out of your pores. They also help to control odor by keeping bacteria from building up in your pits.

Deodorants are different from antiperspirants because they don't stop you from sweating. Instead, they neutralize odors caused by bacteria on your skin. SHILDZ cream deodorant stops bacteria on your skin from reacting with your sweat by using nature. The strong natural antibiotic properties of the plant oils used  to fight odor stop bacteria from multiplying and releasing the smelly vapors called B.O. You can stay fresh without smelling bad during the summer months. However, we don't need to make sweat the bad guy:

  • Sweat is a natural process of the body, and it's not unhealthy for you.
  • When you sweat, the pores on your skin open up to release heat from within your body.
  • You would overheat if you weren't able to cool your body down through sweating.

 

 Whether it's the summer heat or just general sweatiness, we know how difficult it can be to stay fresh and clean. We have all been there! But don't worry; there are many ways to combat odor and body odor without resorting to harsh chemicals or other products that may irritate your skin. If you follow these tips, then you should be able to avoid smelling bad all day long and if you want a more natural option, SHILDZ cream deodorant is powered by plants and backed by a guarantee.
