How Do Antiperspirants Work?

[@BoneCrusherG1D]

I worked in a factory making antiperspirant. You melt bars of aluminum down by melting them in hydrochloric acid and water into a thick sticky liquid, its then diluted in water and mostly then dried into a powder.

[@JimboTheCrackSmoka]

I've always wondered how they actually work and why they work in terms of how you make it. Its fascinating!

[@coryw.5755]

Sir, you can melt my bar down into a thick sticky liquid any time.

I'm 7 years late but do you know if it's healthy to use everyday on face and scalp?

[@xx_sugarcube_xx8170]

@@Cupid230 I’m not sure but I don’t think it would be particularly great for your skin?

[@QuaabQueb]

did anyone else read "How Do Antidepressants" Work? Would like to see a video on that!

[@Beef1188]

Antiperspirants have never worked on me.

[@reamsel]

Try Yerka or Sweatblock

[@harrylane4]

I thought they didn't work, but then I tried to not use them and realized that that's just how much I sweat AFTER the antiperspirant cuts it down. I was drenched.

[@ariellelewis2509]

It should be said that antiperspirant should be put on the night before to give it time to seal the sweat. Putting on antiperspirant and leaving the house right after will do NO good lol…gotta wait for that thang to dry.

Hi everybody, they have been studying breast cancer for decades now. One thing I highly encourage everyone to look into, is how long term inflammation affects our health and likelihood of cancer. I think any unnecessary inflammation we put our bodies through is BAD Edit: witch hazel can be a great addition to your hygiene closet. It’s awesome at killing bacteria and tightening pores.

Lauren, I love your hair. The black with the blue highlight works well for you.

[@valb6458]

My dermatologist recommend I use this since I have sweaty hands which for me causes dermatitis

[@--sql]

Is it a coincidence that scishow posted a video answering the same question a couple days ago?

[@BrainStuffShow]

Yes.

[@LillyWinkle]

No it's a conspiracy. Boo!

[@BrainStuffShow]

Millions of us use antiperspirant to smell good. But what does it do exactly?

[@ebot5542]

I'm studying the top natural treatment for sweating and found an awesome website at Sebs Sweat Blueprint (google it if you are interested)

Thank you.Great presentation 😊

"How do bangs work?" because I'm seeing bangs, bangs everywhere I go. I left the bangs around 1983, so, I need to know! I can't remember how they work!

[@I.n-10s]

I used to wear a deodorant back in HS and in College and as a sweaty guy i used to have this pit stains the turns my shirts pits into yellowish and its so annoying. I used to hear about Alum powder and its wonders but i was like "lol that thing could fuck up your skin right?" then i tried it and it and i was wrong, turns out it was better than all the deo's that ive used. No odor and no Stain, yes it doesnt prevent sweats neither the deodorant products that i used to use. But it has no stains and no odor, i dont really give a shit about the sweat stains as long as it doesnt smell so yeah, i recommend alum. Now im not afraid to get close to people when im sweating, i dont have to worry about the smell and if you have a dark armpits it might help too.

[@I.n-10s]

Also its better to use odorless antiperspirant or deodorants to avoid looking like you rub all that stuff into your body just to smell good, you're gonna look like a one huge armpit. lol

[@demicajanefajardo899]

In10s y

[@bcaye]

Deodorants just don't work for me. I've tried all kinds. They never last. I've also tried alum, witch hazel, vinegar and kaolin. Just don't work more than a couple of hours. I hate using aluminum products but I work in health care and I can't be stinky.

[@I.n-10s]

then it must be your diet. your sweat basically smells so you have to cut down whatever spicy food that you're into. Alum powder works for me for two days without taking a bath, my arm pits still remains odor free.

[@bcaye]

+In10s, fuck that, I love onions and garlic and chiles. A girl has to have her priorities.

[@sothca4s4]

I wish they made antiperspirant for your head D: it always gets in my eyes when I'm at work...

[@MikeyDavis]

What about Palmar Hyperhidrosis? Same science behind it?

[@Seeds-Of-The-Wayside]

Magnesium hydroxide active ingredient in natural deodorant works great for me

[@samhodge7460]

Strangely enough, I seem to sweat more when using an antiperspirant as opposed to plain deodorant. I wonder if there's some sort of reaction certain people have to it.

[@KingSplashy]

Yes there js

[@VampireConnoisseur]

i can't relate to this, thank god. it's the complete opposite

[@MagicTre123]

"I believe the technical term is stank" 1:23 *DEAD*

[@glytch5]

I never knew deodorant actually did something chemically. I thought it was just better smelling than your pits.

[@karl810]

Deodorant does just make you smell better, its just aerosolised perfume. An Antiperspirant is different and usually comes out like a powder which then blocks the sweet glands. Lynx just covers the smell

[@VinnyNajera-zn7th]

@@karl810 I don't know how that is exactly true but I didn't know much about it.

[@inachu]

I sweat more when watching Lauren.

[@27STS]

I don't think I am going to use antiperspirants anymore.

[@JohnUtaka_]

For some reason, even when i haven't used bodyspray, i dont sweat when I'm doing exercise. But there is odour. There something wrong there?

[@Qermaq]

Nope. You just stinky. :)

[@JohnUtaka_]

And what I was supposed to say was in the armpit area. I dont sweat there.

[@logans3365]

Am I the only one thinking that shoving heavy metals into your pores sounds like a bad idea?

[@SaurikSI]

Not at all, since obviously that was the first question experts had when antiperspirants were invented, we have studied whether aluminum in that form is harmful for us, and found that it’s essentially harmless, since only 0.1% of aluminum passes through the skin barrier into the bloodstream, and from that 0.1% that does push through, our kidneys can easily filter it. For that reason, this can only be a concern for people with kidney diseases.

[@DeltaBlackWater]

i never knew that stuff had aluminum, as soon as i saw the video's example of how the sweat is prevented, i know that HAS to be harmful in some way. Where does that aluminum go? out? in? nah bruh, nah.
