WE ARE FOREVER Sunday Column by Vanessa Du 杜宥蓁

It is a little awkward to talk about body order and armpits. But, I think everybody can relate to this topic since its summer. Perfume can only add good smell but it cannot cancel bad smell. What we really need is a deodorant. It is very important to use a deodorant when you go out, especially during summer when you will definitely sweat. We don't want to smell bad, and it could be very impolite to others as well. In this post, I am going to tell you what ingredient deodorant uses and how to choose a good one.

要來跟大家討論體臭和腋下是有點尷尬，但我相信大家對這個主題都很有感觸，尤其在現在這個炎熱的夏天。香水只能增加香氣，但是沒有辦法將臭味消除，我們真正需要的東西是體香膏。出門的時候使用體香膏是非常重要的，尤其是在你一定會流汗的炎炎夏日。我們絕對不希望聞起來臭臭的，而且這樣對身邊的人也非常沒有禮貌。在這裡我就要來跟大家分享，一般常見的體香膏成分，以及如何選擇一個好的體香膏！

What we need is something to block out the odor, not something to stop us from sweating. Our body need to sweat in order to control the body temperature and to detoxify. It is a healthy and natural process of life. So, we shouldn't stop that from happening. We simply need the smell to go away. The easiest way to do so is to use something anti-bacteria, because it is when our sweat and heat and oxygen mix together and cause germs build up that creates an order.

我們需要的是可以消除異味的產品，而不是阻止我們流汗的。身體需要靠流汗來調節體溫並且排毒，這是個健康的生理循環，所以我們不可以阻擋它。而最簡單消除異味的方法就是除菌、殺菌。當我們流出來的汗和熱空氣接觸很容易會孳生細菌，因而導致臭味。

A common ingredient you should avoid is Aluminum Salt. The primary purpose of it is to help block the sweat from escaping the pores. Also, there are studies that suggest it may cause breast cancer and increase the risk of Alzheimer disease. So, this ingredient is surely not so good to our health.

在體香膏或是止汗產品裡面常見的一個不好的成分是鋁鹽，它主要的功效的阻塞毛孔防止流汗。而且有研究顯示，鋁鹽很有可能會導致乳癌，甚至還會促進阿茲海默症的發生機率。由此可知鋁鹽真的是對身體健康非常不好的一個成分！

For some fresh and natural deodorant, I recommend Forever Aloe Ever Shield. The Aloe Vera can help kill the bacteria and hydrate the skin. It glides on smoothly, doesn’t stain the clothes and leave the armpit area fresh. It still let you sweat, but there is no stickiness at all. A little goes a long way, a 3.25 oz. bar can last you 2~3 years if you use it daily.

如果要尋找健康天然的體香膏，我非常推薦永久體香膏。裡面含有可以殺菌並保濕肌膚的蘆薈。它使用起來非常滑順，不會沾染到衣服，而且腋下感覺非常的舒爽。身體還是會流汗，但是不會感到黏黏的。夷平的容量可以用很久很久，如果每天使用的話，９２．１克可以使用約２～３年。
