Q and A - Sweating
I have a bunch of questions here about sweating. "Why do people sweat more?" Well, during puberty people sweat because they have sweat glands. In fact, during puberty, we grow more sweat glands on our bodies. Places like on our backs, faces, armpits, all over the body. So, that's why people sweat more during puberty. "Do you have to use deodorant?" No, you don't have to use deodorant. Deodorant is an optional thing. When is the best time to use deodorant? Not just to cover up a smell, but after you shower. That's when you put on deodorant, on a fresh and clean body. But not everyone uses deodorant. Some people just like to make sure they keep their body nice and clean. "How is sweat made?" Sweat is made by sweat glands. Glands are anything in the body that makes a liquid. We grow new glands in the body during puberty that produce sweat. And that's how sweat is made. It comes out through our skin.
