Ever had that moment where you wonder if you smell, well, not so great? It happens. But you can make body odor go away. Try these six tips.
1. Keep Yourself Squeaky Clean
Shower at least once a day and you'll wash away sweat as well as reduce the number of bacteria on your skin.Sweat by itself is virtually odorless. But when microscopic bacteria that live naturally on your skin mix with sweat, they multiply quickly and raise quite a stink.
So washing thoroughly, especially areas prone to sweating, can reduce body odor.
If you sweat normally, you might have more of a problem with body odor than people who sweat too much. That's because, when people sweat excessively, the sweat tends to wash away the odor-causing bacteria.
2. Use Antibacterial Soap
Choose an antibacterial bath soap. Washing thoroughly with an antibacterial soap bar will reduce the bacteria count, in turn reducing the odor.Look for the words "antibacterial" on the soap's packaging.
3. Towel Off Thoroughly
Once you've showered, be sure you dry yourself completely. Towel off and make sure you dry any areas where you sweat a lot.If your skin is dry, it's harder for bacteria that cause body odor to breed on it.
