To avoid the smell of sweat during summer, use of deodorant (deo) or perfume among youths is very common. Many people prefer deo instead of bathing in winter. But do you know that while doing so, you are playing with your health.
You will be surprised to know about the disadvantages of using too much of deo. The most damage is done to skin is by spraying deo. Due to a chemical called propylene glycol found in deo, the skin may get rashes. Kidney and liver are also affected due to the neurotoxin chemical found in deo.
Let us know that there are both good and bad bacteria in our body. Good bacteria die with the use of Deo. The bad elements of the body come out through sweat, but applying the deo weakens the sweat glands and increases the possibility of attack of diseases on the body.
Triclosan is an antibacterial chemical, used in deodorants to kill odor-causing germs on the skin. Triclosan is an endocrine disruptor, meaning it can mimic hormones or interfere with hormonal signaling. The chemical’s endocrine disrupting abilities are supported by numerous scientific studies. The chemical is also associated with an increased risk of breast cancer.
A chemical called paraben is found in most deodorants, due to which the risk of getting breast cancer increases. These chemicals are also found in many beauty products. You will be surprised to know that deodorant also affects a person’s brain, which increases the risk of Alzheimer’s.
