How to prevent and treat bad body odour

t’s the middle of summer and there are days when the heat is simply unbearable.

Unfortunately, we can’t all hide from the heat and stay indoors and whether you willingly or have no choice but to be outdoors, you’ll most likely work up a sweat.

While it’s perfectly normal to sweat, bad body odour is embarrassing to you and unpleasant for those around you.

Thankfully this can be avoided.

Follow these simple tips to prevent and treat body odour.

Maintain good hygiene

The first step in preventing body odour is to maintain good overall hygiene.

Shower or bath daily, preferably with an antibacterial soap.

Pay extra attention to areas prone to sweating, such as the underarms, groin, and feet.

Make sure to thoroughly wash these areas and dry them well afterwards.

Use antiperspirant or deodorant

Antiperspirants and deodorants are essential tools in combating body odour.

Antiperspirants work by reducing sweating, while deodorants help mask the odour.

Apply them after showering and reapply as needed throughout the day.
