DON’T SWEAT IT WHEN TEMPERATUR­ES RISE

-

GO HAIRLESS

Bad odour is caused by bacteria. And warm damp areas cause bacteria to multiply. By removing hair in areas like your armpits, it reduces the space for bacteria to grow. Hairs prevent your antiperspi­rant and spray from absorbing into the skin and being effective.

SOAP UP AGAINST BACTERIA

Using antibacter­ial soaps is your first weapon against odourprodu­cing bacteria. Be sure to select a soap that won’t irritate you, especially if you have a sensitive skin.

DRY UP

As mentioned, odour-causing bacteria love damp areas. So be sure to dry yourself thoroughly with a clean towel before applying any products or getting dressed.

ANTIPERSPI­RANT WITH DEODORANT You can spray as much deodorant as you like, but if it’s not used in conjunctio­n with an antiperspi­rant, it will simply mask the smell for a while. The antiperspi­rant is what reduces excessive sweat. Allow your antiperspi­rant to absorb and dry before spraying your deo.

REACH FOR A LEMON

Smelly feet? Washing your feet with lemon juice will help reduce foul smells.

WATCH WHAT YOU EAT How do you know that GO NATURAL

Synthetic fibres such as nylon retain sweat. Especially when worn tightly against your skin. Opt for loose fitting, natural fabrics like cotton instead.
