True or false, deodorant is absolutely required for good hygiene?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
False: Axillary health ; well being, imo, best preserved by allowing the occasionally soaped ; cleaned body to exude natural skin oils ; sweat to create a balanced microbiological ecology of skin that is salubrious. Shaving ; chemicalizing these regions is frought with dangers. Earlier agrarian society barn dances included amorous men presenting ladies sweat smelling hankerchiefs as seduction devices.
