Handling Body Odor Without Using Cologne
Body odor is a very serious problem for some people, especially those who interact with a lot of people on a regular basis. Imagine being a corporate executive officer or a front desk clerk who gives off a unique reek and you will get the implications of what some really nasty body odor can do.
Many people attempt to attack this problem by slathering themselves with cologne and perfume, but this method simply serves to aggravate the problem. You may not be able to smell it yourself, but perfume will only serve to make you smell even worse than you do without it.
So without further ado, here are six simple methods to handle body odor without dunking yourself in a vat of cologne every single day:
Maintaining proper hygiene
This is the single most important factor that you have to keep in mind when it comes to body odor. Bacteria on decaying skin is what causes bad odor in the first place, so regularly taking a bath and soaping yourself off helps keep their numbers down.
Use a deodorant
The armpits are a major source of body odor, which is what a deodorant aims to protect. Deodorants sanitize the skin while keeping it dry, which in turn prevents sweat from encouraging bacterial growth. Take some time to swipe some of the stuff on your armpits before leaving your home.
Stay away from certain foods
Spicy and oily food has a particularly adverse effect on your body's scent. Alcohol and caffeine are also some notorious culprits for liquids. They have ways of getting into your sweat, which then begins to stink once it begins to dry. Steer clear from these substances in your food and drink, and you'll be one step closer to killing off body odor.
Breathable fabrics
Sweat is a major contributor to bad body odor, which is why you need to let your skin 'breathe' as you go about your business. Cotton is one of the best materials out there, since it allows air to circulate around your skin while absorbing a modest degree of sweat.
Medication and Botox injections
If sweat is a major problem that you cannot control by natural means, then you may opt for more drastic measures to kick the problem. Oral medication helps reduce sweat levels, while Botox injections to the armpit help reduce sweating in that particular area. Do be careful, though, as these drastic solutions have nasty side-effects to boot.
Relax!
The last and probably most important thing you can do to help with your odor situation is to reduce your stressors and relax. Your body not only sweats more when you are stressed, but has a higher tendency to release waste materials along with the sweat. The result is a particularly sour scent that is nowhere near pleasing to the nostrils.
So there you have it, six easy and simple ways for you to handle body odor without having to resort to dumping yourself in a vat of cologne.
