I fucking love not smelling like anything. Might be my autism and adhd. I'm elated when I find deodorant, body soap and hair soap that barely has a smell, or at least a smell that vanishes quickly.
Same. I used to like Degree because it had barely any scent and actually worked as an antiperspirant. But then they changed the formula and started adding scents while it does fuck all to prevent sweating. 😩
I heard, quite a while back, that while deodorants are basically just smelly persistent goo that helps trap and mask your most stinky zones, antiperspirants actually act by having an element that binds to your sweat glands, and this can actually cause them to block up and cause dermatological problems.
Is this still, or was it ever accurate?
I dunno, maybe its more or less like many kinds of make up, where that only becomes a problem if you don't wash it off after use?
Antiperspirants use aluminum compounds that clog glands and block sweat from exiting pores. Reactions to this process vary a lot.
Ah so that still is the case then, ok!
