Hygiene is a very picky question in our daily lives and body odor is one concern. The body has lots of areas attaching or moving together. They produce heat and sweat follows, whilst others are secretion parts that also sweat. Body odor is created by bacteria that grow on the sweat produced on a body.
Mostly, People experience body odor at the puberty stage when the hormones called androgens start to develop. Even though the skin will naturally try to maintain a healthy environment for itself, there are certain strategies you can work with to stop and remove body odor from you.
Today, Salubris is writing a story on how to fight body odor and get rid of body odor to have your skin and body smelling good naturally.
Body odor is very disgraceful and can ruin your day, especially on special events or occasions. We made conversation and researched people with body odor, and some analyses we had were that excess taken in of coffee, red meat, alcohol, onions, garlic, and chives could have been some cause of body odor. This is because these foods contain sulfur compounds that smell like rotten eggs when they are secreted as sweat from the body.
George said, “Then what of the case where people eat less of these and still have body odor?” We Salubris didn’t make a conclusion saying these foods are the major cause. They could be a cause, so limiting the amount we take in can reduce body odor, but here are some tips you can start to work with, and we are sure you will be able to fight body odor simply.
1. Shower every day
If you just started experiencing body odor, then shower every day. Most people shower once a day, especially after a tiring day which ends up growing these bacteria that cause your body to produce odor. So if you start experiencing body odor, then shower every day with a nice sweet scented soap. Shower and wash areas such as the underparts, underarm, behind the knee, behind the ears, anus, middle of the arm, and feet.
2. Use Soap As Deodorants.
Using soap as a deodorant is one simple way of fighting underarm odor. Experts say soap tackles bacteria that cause odor on the underarm skin. So try using a sweet scented soap in your underarm, not just any soap. We would advise you to do this twice a week, let it stay for 30 minutes then take a bath. I know some groups of people use soap as a deodorant for a long day, which is nice but can cause dry skin.
3. Try Foot Powder.
Foot powder makes people more comfortable being around others. Am saying this because everyone around you can smell your smelly foot or shoe, and I know you would not want to offend anyone with that. Foot powder controls moisture or sweat produced from the foot sweat glands. One foot powder you can try is talcum powder to absorb moisture around the feet.
4. Use Deodorant Made Of Antiperspirant
We would advise you to use antiperspirant deodorants immediately after showering. This will add a new layer of deodorant to your underarm to smell nice before you prepare yourself for the day.
5. Clean Outfits
Sweat produces unpleasant odors which form on your clothes and make you more smelly. And, if you don’t get rid of the sweat smell from your clothes, it can build up over time, making all your clothes smell even after washing. So you will need to wash your clothes regularly. You can also add a cup of baking soda into slightly hot water and soak your garments in them to remove those bad smells.
6. Use Deodorant Before Bed.
I have been trying this trick and it worked perfectly. Putting on an antiperspirant at bedtime can help you stay fresh by creating a nice smell layer around your underarm after you wake up. And when you wake up the next morning, take a bath and apply the antiperspirant again. Using antiperspirant at night gives the product the chance to work while you are asleep.
7. Rub Lime On These Parts
Lime controls and destroys odor due to its high pH. Rubbing lime around the Neck, Underarm, Under the Chest, breasts, Behind Ears, Middle of the arm, and feet, and taking a bath after 30 minutes, can get rid of body odor fast.
8. Add Lemon Juice to Your Bathing Water.
In our daily lives, we do lots of activities during the day which cause the body to sweat and attract several germs and bacteria which contradict body odor. Lemon juice decreases these secretions and helps you prevent body odor. All you need to do is squeeze a lemon or two into your bathing water, then bathe with it. The lemon in the water will normalize the skin and decrease the oil secretion. It will energize your body for the whole day.
9. Wear Loose and Natural Fiber clothes.
Loose clothes allow air to circulate in the body, hence cooling down the body and reducing the amount of sweat from the body. Natural fiber clothes are made from cotton, bamboo, linen, and merino wool.
10. Bonus! Here is our last trick.
This trick will 90% remove body odor from you. Anytime after you take a bath on working days, apply spray deodorant on your underarm. Then use a nice sweet perfume on your clothes. Right when you are back from work, retake a shower with a sweet scent soap. On weekends, in the early morning after workouts, apply lime on the areas we mentioned and take a bath. Do this regularly and we can guarantee you will be happy to know how great SaluBris is.
