5 tips to quickly and effectively eliminate body odor

Shaving your armpits is an effective solution to reduce underarm odor.

1. Wash and dry your body‏

Sweat itself does not have an unpleasant odor, but bacteria on the skin are the cause of this unpleasant odor.

Bathing at least once a day will help you remove sweat and some bacteria on your skin. Especially on hot days, you should bathe with antibacterial soap. When bathing, pay attention to areas that sweat a lot and easily emit body odor such as underarms, private areas, feet...

After bathing, dry your body completely. If your skin is dry, it will be harder for bacteria that cause body odor to grow.

2. Use deodorant or natural deodorant methods‏

‏To limit underarm sweating, you should use deodorant. The formula of deodorants often includes antibacterial agents, antiperspirants, and odor inhibitors, thereby limiting body odor.

In addition, if you do not want to use deodorant, you can apply methods to treat underarm odor from natural ingredients such as:

Using lemon: After bathing, rub half a lemon on both armpits, wait about 5-10 minutes then rinse. Do this once a day, until the body odor is reduced, then only need to rub lemon twice a week.

Using ginger: Use fresh ginger, crush it, filter the juice and apply it to your armpits. Do this once a day.

3. Change your diet‏

Diet can affect body odor. To keep your body smelling good, limit your intake of tea or coffee because they stimulate the nervous system to secrete sweat. You should only drink a maximum of 2 cups of coffee or 2 cups of tea per day.

In addition, you should also limit eating spicy foods that cause sweating or dishes containing a lot of onions, garlic, shrimp paste... to reduce unpleasant odors.

Fruits rich in vitamin C such as oranges, tangerines, pineapples, grapefruits, etc. can improve personal scent, helping the body to radiate a fresh, pleasant fragrance.

4. Shave your armpits to remove body odor.‏

Armpit hair often retains sweat and moisture, making the skin under the armpits sweat easily, creating conditions for bacteria to grow and causing unpleasant odors. Therefore, you should shave your armpits to help reduce body odor.

5. Keep clothes clean‏

You should change your clothes several times a day to avoid odors from dirty clothes. If your clothes are soaked in sweat, you should change them as soon as you get home and soak them in soap or wash them promptly so that bacteria do not have a chance to cause odors.

You should also change your socks and wash your shoes regularly if you have smelly feet. You should also deodorize your shoes by drying them in the sun or sprinkling baking soda on the soles of your shoes to absorb moisture.
