When we move during intense physical activities, we sweat to regulate our core temperature. As the water evaporates, the body is cooled down. This process is even more intensified as our heart rate goes up, increasing our core body temperature and resulting in more sweating to regulate our core temperature level.
Sweating is associated with two types of sweat glands – eccrine and apocrine sweat glands.
Eccrine sweat glands exist all over the body and release sweat that is mainly water and does not smell.
The second type, apocrine sweat glands, connects to the hair follicles found in the armpits. The apocrine glands are responsible for
producing an oily sweat that is rich in lipids and proteins. The sweat does not smell initially, but as axilla bacteria decompose it, this action
produces malodour.
To control the side effects of sweating during intense activities requires the help of a top antiperspirant for excessive sweating. Our deodorant’s formula now provides 72 hours of reliable sweat and odour protection, with the added benefit including a patented NIVEA Black & White® Invisible technology against marks and stains. It effectively works as a deodorant that provides white mark protection on black clothing & anti-yellow staining on white clothing. Try the NIVEA Black & White® deodorant range that protects you up to 72h while
doing intense activities.
