We've all been through it. A quick whiff of body odor makes your nose wrinkle before you realize that an unpleasant odor is coming from you. Please refer to the following tips to help you eliminate body odor:

1. Choose the deodorant that's right for you

It can take a lot of effort to find the right deodorant for your daily needs. You don't have to try every deodorant on the shelf to find the right one. Pay attention to active ingredients: If deodorants that use baking soda or tea tree oil as active ingredients to deodorize don't work for you, you can skip any deodorants that list them as active ingredients. Don't forget to watch for any irritation while you're testing.

Please refer to Breeze's diverse set of deodorant products HERE . There are many products with many different scents and functions. Products are 100% imported from Italy.

2. Make your own deodorant products at home

Are you struggling to find the right deodorant for you? You can create your own product that is perfectly suited to your preferences and biochemistry. Homemade deodorant won't stop you from sweating, but it will help you block the source of odor, which is bacteria.

There are many different recipes, such as this homemade cream deodorant recipe. The trick is to find what works for you. Some people are sensitive to baking soda and may develop contact dermatitis from it. If you experience irritation, stop using it immediately and let your skin cool down before using another deodorant. Also, be aware that if your solution is too greasy, your clothes may get oil stains. In addition to baking soda, you can also try a mixture of apple cider vinegar and water to deodorize. S Use apple cider vinegar with caution as it can cause chemical burns and unpleasant contact dermatitis.

3. Feet smell bad

This shoe spray has changed the game. It turns out the problem isn't your feet, it's your shoes. When you regularly spray your shoes (daily until the smell is gone and then periodically spray weekly), your feet will no longer smell bad. You can use straight rubbing alcohol (Isopropyl alcohol) and spray it on with a small spray bottle. You can spray them when you get home in the evening and they dry easily and are ready to use in the morning.

Note: Rubbing alcohol is very drying and can cause irritation and peeling. Always make sure to only spray on the shoes and not on the leather. Wear socks and make sure your shoes are completely dry before putting them back on.

4. Bathe regularly

Proper cleansing can be hugely effective in eliminating body odor. If you're prone to body odor, shower more often, especially in sensitive areas like your armpits... Think carefully before wearing the same shirt again. Not all clothes need to be washed after every wear, but if you tend to sweat a lot, you may need to wash them more often.

Shirts and other clothing that touches the armpits should be washed after each wear if they have strong body odor.

5. Choose natural fabrics

The material you wear is very important. A recent study found that luxury gym clothes and other man-made fabrics like polyester and spandex harbor bacteria. Unnatural fibers are a breeding ground for bacteria. It is better to use natural fibers such as cotton, linen or wool.

6. Laundry properly

If your clothes smell like the bottom of a gym bag, don't worry. Add a cup of vinegar to your laundry and they will smell fresh. You can also use up to 1 cup of baking soda or dishwashing liquid to remove odors. Just don't mix vinegar and baking soda/washing liquid as they will cancel each other out.

For situations where the smell is too strong (like the clothes I left in a hot car or my leggings after hot yoga), you can soak the clothes in 1-2 cups of vinegar per 2 gallons of warm water first. when washing. You can do this in the washing machine on the “soak” setting or in a bucket before washing.

Pro Tip: Turn clothes inside out before washing. This helps oils and sweat escape from the fabric more easily, and your clothes will look new longer. For clothes with unpleasant odors and all technical fabrics, skip the dryer. It will “absorb” the odor and make it more difficult to remove.

7. Permanently remove fabric softener

If you've ever worn a clean, unscented shirt before going to work, fabric softener may be to blame. Fabric softeners sit on the surface of clothing fibers and prevent air from circulating and evaporating.

This means you're not getting the air you need to keep odor-causing bacteria at bay. It also makes it difficult for detergent to penetrate fabric fibers and remove sweat, bacteria and body odor. Emollients can also cause skin irritation.

8. Change clothes after sweating a lot

Take off sweaty workout clothes immediately after finishing your workout. Change into a wet shirt after a hot day. Bring a change of clothes after cycling to the office. New clothes will help you feel fresh and fragrant.

9. The type of food will also affect your body odor

Eat too much at happy hour and you could spend the next day smelling the food off your body. It doesn't just come from your breath. What you eat directly affects your body odor. Foods that contain sulfur, such as broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage, can affect your smell. Onions and garlic are frequent culprits. Curry and other strong spices can also enter your body. Pay attention to what you eat. Skip or cut back on foods that make you smell.

10. Create your own scent

A light, fresh scent can go a long way. Make your own perfume using a light oil like sweet almond oil and essential oils. Start with 5-10 drops of oil and gradually increase until you like the scent. Using a roller is the best way to apply perfume, but you can also use a bottle to drop a few drops onto your fingertips and apply where you like.

Sweating is good for you! The function of regulating temperature and removing waste from the body is a completely normal function. And let's not forget that we are not born smelling like roses. Smelling is completely normal. The light scent is not something to worry about. Genetics, the bacteria your skin attracts, overall health, and personal hygiene all influence your signature odor. Please apply the above tips to avoid too strong body odor.
