About anti-perspirant.......?

Question

Okay, so the body's way of cooling itself off is by sweating, right?

Well then, if you use anti-perspirant, which (obviously) makes you sweat less, then if it's hot outside then you are just hotter when you have it on, right?

And wouldn't it be a risk if you have anti-perspirant on and you are going to be outside for a while in hot weather, because the body can't cool itself off since the anti-perspirant is stopping it from doing so?

Answer 1

No because you have sweat glands all over your body, not just your armpit and that's where most people wear antiperspirant. The sweat glands on the rest of your body will work and help your body cool off.

Answer 2

sweat glands are concentrated in places like armpits, groin, palms, and forehead, but you also sweat from other places, like chest, back, et cetera.  antiperspirant only works where you apply it, so you will still sweat from other places, just not the underarms.
