Best deodorants for moms

There’s always so much action going on in a woman’s life that staying fresh all day is truly extraordinary. Sometimes we sweat even when we are sitting down, just from stress or hormonal changes. Deodorants and body cosmetics become especially important for mothers on the go, because conditions don’t always allow you to freshen up when you want to. That’s why it’s important that cosmetics for mothers are not only natural but also reliable. But how do you know what the best deodorants for moms are and which cosmetics you can trust?

Sweating and the best deodorants for moms

Who else but mums know best how much trouble sweating can be. Throughout a woman’s life cycle, her body changes many times, and waves of perspiration accompany each of these changes. From puberty in adolescence, through pregnancy, through the strong smelling sweat of breastfeeding, to menopause, we learn that we need to control sweat. But the important message is that you don’t have to fight sweat, but you do need to understand how it works, what it is for, and how to live with it so that it doesn’t bother you. Because sweating is necessary for us. Why? It’s also very important to choose the best deodorants for moms at the right time in life.

Why it’s important to choose the best deodorants for moms

Facts about sweat

Sweating is a natural and vital reaction of the body to cool down. It is also a way of removing toxic substances from the body, which is particularly important during intense periods such as puberty or pregnancy.

A healthy adult produces between one and one and a half litres of sweat per day. A heavy sweater sweats two to five times more. The most important physiological function of the glands that produce clear and odourless sweat is to regulate body temperature.

Emotional stimuli (tension, nervousness, excitement) can greatly increase sweat production. Physical work, higher than normal temperatures, very hot food and drink, and spiritual experiences all contribute to increased sweating in a healthy person.

The armpits, neck, palms and soles of the feet sweat particularly profusely. Sweat itself does not have a strong smell because it is 98-99% water and only 0.5-1% organic and inorganic substances. Under the influence of bacteria on the skin, sweat breaks down into various substances that cause unpleasant body odour.

Men generally sweat more than women, but women are more likely to experience hormonal storms that affect sweating. Women are also more emotional and are more likely to experience stressful situations.

During pregnancy, after childbirth, during breastfeeding, and after menopause, women are exposed to powerful hormonal storms, which are manifested, among other things, by profuse sweating, often accompanied by a very strong, unpleasant odour.

We sweat more when the immune system is weakened, after antibiotic treatment, etc. In many cases, profuse sweating is an indicator of a disease.

TOP ways to regulate sweat and stay fresh

Hygiene

The main and most important things to stay fresh are regular washing, skin care and daily clean underwear that is in close contact with the skin.

Cosmetics

Cosmetics should be tailored to your skin’s needs and characteristics. Especially for mothers, we recommend natural cosmetics, such as WELEDA products, which will have no adverse effects on her skin or on the baby cuddling up to her. If you have dermatitis or other skin needs, choose specialised body cosmetics. Especially products containing citrus, mint, rosemary are very refreshing.

Deodorants

Mothers should choose products that are as natural as possible, free of harmful metals, salts, fragrances and dyes – these additives pass through the skin into the body and can adversely affect women’s health. They can also cause allergic reactions in children if their skin or face comes into contact with deodorant (e.g. when breastfeeding or sleeping next to their mother). There are a growing number of products on the market that offer both a natural composition and strong protection, even for travel, such as WELEDA deodorants.

Clothing

Choose clothing with a natural composition, as synthetic clothing tends to encourage sweating (an exception is special sportswear, which has a special technology that allows it to evaporate sweat).

Layering

Layering of clothing is very important in changeable weather climates and when travelling. Choose something that you can always take off or put on when the temperature or your activity changes.

Footwear

If your feet sweat, it is advisable to wear leather shoes rather than synthetic shoes. Wear cotton or semi-cotton socks rather than synthetic socks, which should be washed and changed daily.

Baths

Various baths can help to reduce sweating of the feet. It is recommended to soak the feet in cool water with table salt or sea salt, and it is useful to add mint, tea tree and aloe vera oils.

Underarms

If you are going to wear thin-fabric clothes and don’t want them to cling to your body, you can try a special powder or talcum powder that will absorb sweat. Body powder is not suitable for those with excessively dry skin. Talcum powder helps to refresh irritated skin that is irritated from frequent use of deodorant.
