What to do When Feel Body Odour in Children

In today’s time, children just love to play outside with their buddies regardless of what weather is currently going on. Particularly in the hot summer season, kids have to face the most odour when they get highly involved in exercises or sporting activities. In some cases, the children reaching the age of puberty start undergoing certain changes in the hormones and glands. As per the research conducted by the paediatricians, too much body odour in children is a symbol of early onset puberty which means that it is the medical condition that requires appropriate treatment from the doctor. The study also reveals that unless other symptoms of early puberty exist, the kid’s body odour is nothing to be bothered about. It may happen that the adrenal glands mature earlier which is causing the body odour but that doesn’t require any medication.

Several theories have been created as to why today’s kids are more facing the issue of bad body odour and early onset puberty. According to the researches, higher body mass index or weight usually results in an increased level of leptin in a growing child that generates the start of puberty. In the past, children used to seem slimmer since they used to be quite involved in sports but these days, due to the availability of the play station, video games and smartphones, the concept of exercise and intake of healthier diet has reduced due to which children are getting bulky. Some theories suggest that during these days, children are under nervous tension and this strain is becoming a major reason of the starting of the early puberty. Numerous theories have revealed that there is a strong relation between the body odour and the use of certain chemicals. Today’s environment is continuously disturbing the endocrine due to the presence of chemicals while synthetic environmental estrogens are used in household products, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, plastics and industrial chemicals.

Currently, our food is becoming less natural and purified due to the increased use of chemicals, preservatives, additives and synthetic flavours and colours. All these aspects greatly contribute to the bad body odour in kids.

So, being a parent, what you can do for the kid’s bad body smell? The best way is to suggest the mild deodorant as a contrast to the antiperspirants. Keep in mind that sweating is healthy as it secretes the toxic elements from the body. Antiperspirants block the skin pores which results in no secretion of the sweat. Prefer to use the natural body sprays, probably the aluminium free deodorants and the ones that are free from triclosan, parabens or propylene glycol. Such steps can help a great deal in reducing the foul smell in children.

Does Natural Deodorants Can Pass the Smell Test

Compared to antiperspirants, natural deodorants are the chemical free alternatives while the aluminium comprising body sprays contain toxic ingredients that may harm the skin. But which product truly works?

From the past many years, I was a woman using a single deodorant. While some of my moody friends used to try out the new scents or brand after each month or whatever is available on sale but I remained stick to the same deodorant.

The antiperspirant which I was using from the last many years helped me in my critical times like in the long distance running and the flight in which the pilot thought that free falling would be a more interesting way of landing.

Few months ago, I became suspicious when I came to know about the dangers of aluminium so I decided to use the aluminium free deodorant and remain safe than feeling sorry after some time. When I discussed this issue with my friends, to my surprise, most of them skipped it altogether. My friends gave me a list of the deodorants which I tried to check as to which product can pass the smell test. Below, I will mention the deodorants that I used:

Tom’s of Maine

After getting rid of the Pit Paste, I tried Tom’s of Maine roll-on. To be honest, it was disgusting in use since it made me smellier and felt like the skin of the armpits are getting stick together. So I thought that it would be better to use the safer product than these.

Royal & Rogue, Primal Pit Paste

After discarding the antiperspirant, it was the first deodorant that I tried. To an amazing extent, it worked well that I just stopped my search for the others but after seeing the name of anecdotal, I again started my search. In the market, it is available in two forms that are the stick and a tub. Though its smell is considered to be long lasting but I usually reapplied it once in a day.

Detox Deodorant in Lemongrass Sage, Living Clay

My friend told me that the Living Clay Deodorant smells good so I thought that I should give it a try. In the beginning, it seems as if the smell of Lemongrass Sage is overpowering, but later it softens. Its texture melts a little bit when the deodorant is applied onto the body while it gets wet at the edges of the plastic tube. The product works well under tough conditions.

What must be Worn When Going to a Gym

To whatever age does a woman belongs to, everybody loves to make itself look smart and beautiful. When going to a gym, usually teenage girls prefer to wear makeup to seem prettier. In this advanced era, there is a line of products available in the market that has been specifically devised to be used when going for a workout.

Customarily, women prefer to use makeup when planning to go out for an exercise or aiming to get involved in the sports or gym activities. In actual, the wearing of the makeup at such a time has been experienced as counterproductive. This is so because, during a workout, the skin gets cleanse because it drives out the toxins and nasties. Wearing a makeup means that it block the skin pores due to which it won’t allow the bad things to escape from the skin, means it remains within the skin.

However, if you still want to wear makeup to enhance the confidence, there is a wide range of products available in the market that are created with an intention to use during exercise or sports activities. Besides the fact that they are lighter in weight, these products are made from a gel formula that indicates that it will sink in the skin and allow it to breathe without blocking the pores, just like the oil based formulas do.

One of the branded range is Arrow and it is the makeup line of the Birchbox. No doubt that these products are available in the US, still they have a plan to launch three additional products in the coming months.

The wide range involves an improved colour lip balm, cooling cheek shade, a water resistant mascara, a coloured brow gel, an aluminium free deodorant and a skin tint has yet to come.

In the gym, because of exercise, we usually get our cheeks red so a cheek shade is not necessary over there. But the use of a coloured brow gel on the eyebrows may make you seem like something really fascinating.

The Eyeko’s Sports Mascara is perfect when used during gym activities since it is 100% waterproof and won’t spread over the face or leave the eyes horrible.

Aluminium free deodorants are a must have in sports activities and exercises. Since the body secretes a lot of sweat, exercising with the pals or other people may create an embarrassment when a bad body odour is experienced. We Keep It Kind offers naturally involved ingredients’ deodorants that can suit to all the skin types. They have a nice fragrance and have been dermatologically tested for the people.
