6. TIPS ON MAINTAINING
FRESHNESS EVER
It is significant
that body odor is often due to poor personal hygiene, but too much perspiration
is sometimes involved. Regardless of the cause, the need to develop the
following habits is priceless.
1. Keep
Your Body Clean: Wash with soap daily;
particularly your armpits, groin, and feet, where there are many sweat
producing glands. If you sweat a lot, you may need to bath two or more times a
day. Epson salts bath, alternate cold and hot showers daily will improve the
blood circulation and reduce congestion in the body.
2. Use
Antiperspirants And Deodorants Daily:
Preferably, deodorants with aluminum or Zinc, as these metals kill
odour-causing bacteria. Note however, that to keep yourself odor free you need
to maintain cleanliness of yourself first. Shave your armpits at least once in
two weeks.
3. Stay Dry:
Keeping your skin dry will help reduce
the amount of odor causing bacteria on your body. You can start by toweling
yourself off thoroughly after taking a bath or shower. You can also use that
antiperspirant in areas other than your armpits that usually get sweaty like
your feet or around your groin. Also consider applying antiperspirant before
bed. Start wearing clothes that allow your skin to breathe and provide proper
air circulation. Trapping heat inside your clothing is a quick way to have
sweat accumulate and create a foul smelling odor.
4. Wash
Clothes Thoroughly and always;
mostly clothing exposed to sweaty areas such as underwear, socks, and shirts and other clothes at least when
they get dirty, sweaty, or when they do not smell clean, and keeping feet dry
can reduce odor and irritation.
5. Wash your face when waking
up, in the shower, and before going to bed.
6. Store your clothes in places
where air can get to them and that smell nice.
