Summer is a season packed with lots of fun activities. We get to go to the beach, on hikes, camping, and anything else that you can\u2019t do during other seasons. However, there are some downsides to hot weather and one of them is BO = Body Odor. Dealing with yellow-brown sweat blotches under your armpits whenever you go outside can be quite inconvenient. And therefore, you should consider using probiotic deodorants. These are natural deodorants<\/a> that use healthy bacteria to combat BO.<\/p>

For an individual who is used to using antiperspirants, switching to probiotic deodorants may not be an easy decision. But once you learn how beneficial the latter is, you definitely won\u2019t think twice.<\/p>

What Causes Smelly Armpits?<\/h2>

Before we compare probiotic deodorant vs antiperspirant, let us address the main question which is \u2013 why do my armpits smell?<\/a> For starters, you should know that sweat doesn\u2019t cause the foul smell you get from the armpits. Bacteria on the other hand is responsible for that as it breaks down sweat molecules causing them to fly into the air and reach your nostrils as well as those around you. It\u2019s also worth noting that smelly armpits are also caused by eating certain foods such as meat.<\/p>

What Does Deodorant Do?<\/h2>

For most people, deodorant is usually the number one line of defense against sweaty armpits. It works by killing bacteria and adding perfume. That sounds great, right? But as deodorants kill bacteria, they block sweat ducts and reduce perspiration which makes you unhealthy. And as if that\u2019s not enough, it also opens up your body to more bacterial attacks.<\/p>

Did you know that most commercial deodorants worsen BO? Antiperspirants are worse because they increase the concentration of bacteria in the armpits. Probiotic deodorants on the other hand encourage the growth of good bacteria, and that\u2019s what makes them such a great alternative.<\/p>

Are There Chemicals in Most Sprays Deodorants?<\/h2>

There are two chemicals<\/a> found in deodorants that have been in the spotlight for their effects on the human body. The first one is parabens, which are preservatives that hinder bacteria growth, and some phthalates ensure the ingredients stick to your skin. These two chemicals may cause infertility and can significantly interfere with your hormones.<\/p>

What are probiotics? And are they different from prebiotics?<\/h2>

Probiotic (saccharomyces ferment enzymes) deodorants are the exact opposite of synthetic ones. These contain good bacteria that put a stop to infections and body odor. Prebiotics<\/a> are also healthy bacteria; the only difference is that prebiotics promotes the growth of healthy bacteria which is already found in your body. Probiotics which is our main focus today is a natural remedy for body odor. It is free of toxins and it\u2019s very effective at putting a stop to BO.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
