Body odour is an unwelcome companion, especially when the hustle of everyday life leaves you craving a refreshing feeling, even if it’s 2AM.
What the h*ll causes the B.O.?.
Body odour (BO) occurs when sweat interacts with bacteria on the skin. While sweating is a natural process that cools the body, the resulting odour can be less than pleasant. Factors such as stress, diet, and even the weather can amplify this issue.
What can fix it?
Well, let’s explore some solutions:
Bye-Bye to B.O.
-
Start Fresh, Stay Fresh
Kick off your day with a thorough cleanse. Use a hydrating shower gel infused with natural antibacterial ingredients like aloe vera or sea minerals. Not only will it deeply cleanse your skin, but it’ll also leave behind a subtle, refreshing scent. For best results, focus on areas prone to sweating, like underarms and feet. -
Stay Hydrated Inside and Out
Body odour isn’t just about what you put on your skin—it’s about what’s inside too. Stay hydrated to help flush out toxins and reduce odour. On the outside, use a lightweight lotion with zesty or herbal notes, like citrus or basil, to keep your skin moisturized and subtly fragranced throughout the day. -
Layer Your Fragrance
For long-lasting freshness, layer your scents. Start with a fragrant body wash, follow up with a scented lotion, and finish with a spritz of perfume. This builds a subtle yet enduring fragrance that stays with you all day.
-
Target Sweat Zones
Combat odour at its source by giving extra attention to high-sweat areas. After showering, pat these areas dry and apply a gentle deodorizing powder or antiperspirant. For a natural alternative, try dusting a mix of cornstarch and baking soda to stay dry and odour-free. -
Freshen Up On-the-Go
Life can be unpredictable, so always carry a small, travel-friendly kit for quick touch-ups. A pocket-sized deodorant, a refreshing body mist, or even fragrant wet wipes can help you feel instantly revived. -
Let Your Diet Help
Certain foods, like garlic and onions, can amplify body odour. Balance your meals with fresh fruits and greens to naturally reduce odour-causing toxins. Adding a touch of basil or mint to your water can also help keep you feeling fresh from the inside out. -
Choose Fabrics That Breathe
Your clothing can play a big role in managing odour. Opt for breathable, natural fabrics like cotton or linen, especially during hotter months. These materials allow your skin to breathe, reducing sweat and odour build-up.
