PubertyPuberty it is a transition period between childhood and adulthood. It lasts for several years and for children can take sometime to get used to the changes taking place in their bodies. During puberty, the ovaries and testes begin to produce eggs and sperm. The girl's body is transformed into a woman's body and the boy's body into a man's body. Pubic and underarm hair also appear.
In the period of puberty, the generation of sweat increases and it also becomes more oily. Under the influence of bacterial activity, the sweat breaks down, which unfortunately results in an unpleasant odor. Increased sweating also contributes to the deterioration of the condition of the skin, i.e. the formation of pimples and greasy hair. That's why you need to take care of hygiene more than usual during puberty.Regularly shower or bathe and regularly wash your hair. It is worth using a deodorant that reduces sweating and masks the unpleasant smell of sweat. The appropriate dress is also important. Wearing loose clothing made of natural fibers allows the skin to breathe.
During puberty, behavior also changes. Teens experience intense emotions and intense feelings. During this time, young people usually make lasting friendships, but they are also very sensitive, often argue, sometimes for no particular reason.
