Five Simple Ways To Get Rid Of Body Odor Permanently

There are people who smell bad only after perspiration but there are some people who may just have an unpleasant body odor in spite of their best efforts. If you are wondering how to get rid of body odor, read on.

1. Keep your underarms clean

The truth is that almost 65% of a person’s body odor is caused by sweat and grime that collect in the intimate areas. The underarms are most prone to sweating and unfortunately smelling bad. Add a little friction there and it gets stained too.

If you haven’t been paying a lot of attention to your underarms and are leaving them unshaved for most part, you are inviting trouble for yourself. Hairy underarms tend to sweat more so practice hair removal from your underarms on a daily or regular basis.

2. Instead of using deodorants and scented sticks, go for scented creams

These creams not only moisturize the delicate, intimate areas, but are also well absorbed by the skin. The fragrance too lasts longer than body mists, deodorants or perfumes.

3. The thumb rule of keeping yourself odor free is to improve your hygiene

If you are not in the habit of taking a bath everyday, you should consider the option of a daily shower very seriously.

4. Drink lots of water

Your body tends to expel toxins through the skin. So the more toxins there are in your body, the more body odor you will experience. This is a common problem among many people. To avoid body odor, give special attention to your diet. Drink lots of water and eat fresh fruits, vegetables and other sources of roughage so that your body’s toxins are expelled regularly.

5. Get a good sweat

Another reason why a lot of people have body odor is that their sweat glands keep working full time but the pores of their skin are clogged. It is a good idea to sweat out regularly. Join a gym or a spa that gives you the facility of a sauna. Use it for a few minutes everyday. If the idea of a sauna bath doesn’t sound too good, you can alternatively sweat it out by exercising for a few minutes everyday. Once you are completely sweaty, don’t forget to take a bath otherwise you will simply end up defeating the purpose!
