On the antiperspirant effect of common fruit acid
People in the world often doubt whether common fruit acid can stop perspiration. In the skin, fruit acid has a variety of uses. Its nature can regulate the metabolism of keratin, but it is related to antiperspiration, which needs to be analyzed in detail.
The production of sweat is related to the opening and closing of the body, and it is controlled by the Department of Weiqi. Weiqi is harmonious, and the body is dense, and the sweat is orderly; if the body is chaotic, the sweat is abnormal. Common fruit acid mostly acts on the epidermis and keratin. Although it can make the keratin loose and make the skin smooth, it is rarely involved in the regulation of Weiqi.
In reality, the production of sweat originates from the secretion of sweat glands. The operation of sweat glands is affected by multiple factors such as nerves and hormones. Fruit acid has no direct effect on such regulatory mechanisms. It may improve the surface environment of the skin, but it is difficult to fundamentally inhibit the secretion of sweat glands and achieve the purpose of antiperspiration.
Therefore, it is reasonable to infer that ordinary fruit acids want to antiperspirate sweat, but it is difficult to do so. Everyone should be discerning, and do not believe false theories lightly, so as to avoid misjudgment and improper use.
