When Can Children Use Deodorant?

As you enter puberty, you may start to smell the odor from your body. But, Mother still doubts whether it's time to give a deodorant child. When exactly can children use deodorant?

In fact, there is no standard age for using deodorant in children. Generally the use of deodorant is recommended when the child enters puberty. The age range of a child's puberty varies from 9-15 years.

When Can Children Use Deodorant?

The Right Time to Use Deodorant in Children

Puberty is a good time to start using deodorant in children. This is because hormonal changes that occur during puberty can trigger sweat glands to be more active to produce sweat. As a result, a child's risk of experiencing body odor will increase.

Some signs of a child entering puberty that Mother can notice, namely the growth of hair in the armpits and genitals, breast enlargement in girls, or changes in voice in boys.

Choosing Deodorant Products for Children

Basically, there are two choices of treatment products to overcome the problem of body odor in children, namely deodorant or antiperspirant. Deodorants function to prevent body odor from sweating, while antiperspirants function to limit sweat production.

Choices can be adapted to the child's condition, but even products containing deodorants are recommended. This is because sweat has certain functions for the body and its production is normal, so it actually does not need to be limited.

When choosing a deodorant product, also pay attention to other chemicals contained in it. Avoid products that contain phthalates and parabens. Deodorant products containing these chemicals are rumored to affect hormones.

If you are still worried, homemade deodorant from natural ingredients can be a solution.

To make natural deodorant, Mother needs to prepare the following ingredients:

  • 30 grams of baking soda.
  • 30 grams of arrowroot flour.
  • 60 ml (4 teaspoons) of coconut oil.
  • 3-4 ml of essential or aromatic oils, like tea tree oil.

Next, Mother can mix all the ingredients, melt and stir until evenly distributed. This mixture can be used as a natural deodorant. Mother can store this natural deodorant in a tube or a closed container.

This natural deodorant will certainly be safer. It's just that the effects of this natural deodorant may not be as strong as the products of the dedoran on the market and their use needs to be more frequent.

Daily Habits for Controlling Child's Body Odor

Besides determining when the right time for children to use deodorant, Mother can also teach some of the following healthy habits to reduce children's body odor:

  • Requires the child to take a bath every day.
  • Asking the child to clean all parts of the body, especially the armpits, pubic area, and feet when bathing.
  • Changing children's underwear, socks and children's clothing, every day.
  • Make sure the child takes a bath after exercising or after doing other activities.
  • Choose clothes with cotton that can absorb sweat.
  • Pay attention to the child's diet. Some foods, such as garlic, onions, and spicy dishes, can affect body odor.

So, Mother do not be confused anymore to determine the right time a child can use deodorant. Mother can suggest deodorant products that are sold in the market or homemade natural deodorant. However, if body odor is getting in the way, you should consult with your doctor to get the right treatment.
