Ways to Combat Body Odor
November 20, 2008
You wouldn’t like your near and dear ones moving away from you due to your smelly armpits or general body odor. Offensive body odor can be a huge problem bringing with it psychological depression and social embarrassment. Given below are some tips by which you can combat the problem of bad body odor.
Every one of us sweats as it is a natural process. Sweat is odorless unless it comes in contact with bacteria. You might have noticed that body odor is usually seen taking place from smelly armpits. This is because bacteria thrive in warm, dark and moist places like your arm pits. Moreover, when sweat comes in contact with bacteria on your skin, it leads to emission of bad odor. You can use deodorants and antiperspirants.
Antiperspirants help in blocking perspiration and are beneficial if you tend to sweat a lot. Most of us use these products after shower. But the right time is to apply them at night when your skin is dry so that it gets time to penetrate your pores. Remember not to use a deodorant or antiperspirant on broken or inflamed skin, as this could cause problems with healing or make rashes worse. You can use natural remedy too.
Apply some baking soda on arm pit as it will absorb sweat and kill bacteria. You can also wipe your sweat producing areas like armpit using white vinegar or alcohol. If you have the problem of stinky feet, then you should wash and dry your feet regularly. Moreover, never keep your feet continuously trapped in shoes and wear shoes made from natural materials like leather or canvas. Also apply anti-fungal powder.
Follow these tips to combat the problem of bad body odor. Instead smell good and fresh and you will find people getting attracted to you, not running away from you.
