excersive sweating or Perspiration is the body's natural way of cooling itself. our sweat mixes with surface bacteria and can decompose fast and start creating problems of body and ampit odour the waste matter that is secreted with sweat has to be removed by washing and bathing, in order to feel cool and fresh. Bathing and scrubbing help to clear away germs, dirt and odour. All parts of the body must be washed well, specially the neck, armpits and feet. These are the areas where
germs accumulate and cause odour.
ANTI-PERSPIRANTS AND DEODORANTS HELP
The use of anti-perspirants and deodorants do help. Most deodorants are also anti-perspirants. A spray, rather than the roll-on deodorants may be more suitable in summer, but this is a matter of personal choice. However, be sure to choose a mild deodorant, as strong built-in anti-perspirants can cause skin irritation or sensitive reactions. It is always better to try them out on a small area, on the inner arm, first. If the skin tingles or burns for more than a minute, you should not use it. Some people find the use of talcum powders quite adequate. They do absorb perspiration and maintain freshness for some time.
GO FOR LIGHT, LEMONY FRAGRANCES
Climate also plays a part in choosing the right perfume. In hot and humid conditions, it is better to go for light, lemony and fresh fragrances, rather than heavy ones. The effect of perfumes intensifies in hot and humid weather. A heavy perfume can be quite overpowering. Lemon, rose, lavender or sandalwood are light and refreshing during hot weather.
TIPS FOR PREVENTING BODY ODOUR
We share a few tips to prevent body odour and keep fresh all day.
Splash on some cologne
Be generous with the use of colognes, even splashing them on. Colognes and Eau de Toilette constitute mainly water, or a mixture of alcohol and water, with only 2 to 5 per cent perfume. They are lighter and leave a light lingering fragrance.
Baking soda to the rescue
Bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) helps to prevent body odour.
