7 Tips To Manage Body Odour

Body odour is an embarrassment which many face from time to time. It can get you an awkward moment and can be a total turn off whether you are on a date or at a job interview. If you are secretly laughed at then here are some tips to help you manage your body odour.

1) Shower regularly and if possible two times a day. It is very important that you bathe after working out or playing any sport.

2) The underarms tend to accumulate more sweat so removing the hair from that area can help prevent sweat rings.

3) Change socks and undergarments daily. Clothing made of cotton and linen are more absorbent and they are able to soak in sweat better than other fabrics.

4) Deodorants do help to mask body odour.

5) There are some people whose body odour is too strong and deodorants and perfumes don’t work on them. While others have very sensitive skins and these deodorants cause irritations. In such cases, they can use antibacterial soaps. Talcum powder also helps to absorb the sweat and gives a feeling of freshness.

6) People enjoying certain pungent foods like hot peppers, garlic, onions and certain spices maybe emitting these odours from their body.

7) Drinking plenty of water and fresh vegetable juices are known to reduce sweating and hydrate the body. More

Armpit Odour

Armpit odour is a problem for most adults (whether they admit it or not), and usually gets worse with age. In some people, it can be so mild that deodorants aren’t necessary, but in others, it can be so strong as to literally drive people away. Most people have some odour, especially after exercise, and prefer to do something about it. There has actually been very little study into what happens in your armpit …. most of the research, by the cosmetics industry, has been aimed at preventing the smell from being noticed. This is accomplished in two ways, through the application of either antiperspirants or deodorants.

Incidentally, one reason why women’s armpit odour is less offensive is probably because of the practice of shaving the armpit region. This is only a relatively recent practice; before about a hundred years ago, most Western women left the hair under their arms and on their legs, and still do in some cultures today. That a woman should have a bare armpit and shaven legs was an idea introduced by advertisers, who wanted to sell more razors; they linked the idea of a bare armpit and smooth legs with beauty, youth, and innocence, and their campaign worked … most women accepted this new idea that body hair on women was ‘unsightly’, and still accept it today, at least in Western culture.
