Customization: Your body can become accustomed to the active ingredients in the deodorant, which reduces its effectiveness.
This adaptation can reduce the deodorant's ability to mask or neutralize body odor.
Changes in body chemistry: Factors such as hormonal changes, diet, stress or health conditions can alter your body chemistry and sweat production, potentially reducing the effectiveness of your deodorant.
Bacterial resistance: Deodorants work by inhibiting the growth of odor-causing bacteria or masking the odor.
Over time, the bacteria on your skin can adapt, which can reduce the effectiveness of the deodorant.
Incorrect application: Incorrect application of the deodorant or failure to follow the product instructions can lead to reduced effectiveness.
For example, applying deodorant to blemished skin can prevent it from working.
Product process: Like all cosmetic products, deodorants have a shelf life.
Over time, the active ingredients can break down or evaporate, especially if the deodorant is not stored correctly, resulting in reduced effectiveness.
