Ways to prevent body odour

Reducing Body Odour:

You cannot do much about the bacteria on your skin; any amount of scrubbing or washing would be able to get rid of only fraction of the bacteria and that too for a short while.Neither can you stop yourself from sweating altogether.But there are still several other things that you can do to reduce the amount of sweat you produce:


1.Avoid synthetic wear because cotton is definitely cooler than synthetic.


2.Also avoid tight fitting clothes, they make the problem of sweating worse.


3.Avoid hot drinks and hot crowded places.


4.Regularly cleanse your body with medicated cleansers if possible.


5.The other way to counter body odour is to use products designed to minimise body odours.There are three types of such products available; antiperspirants, deodorants and perfumes.These are available in a variety of forms;lotions, creams, squeeze bottle sprays, roll-ons, pads, aerosol sprays, powders, soap-bars and sticks.Sprays and roll-ons are the most popular formulations.


Antiperspirants contain aluminium salts which reduce the release of sweat by closing the sweat ducts.These are especially useful for people who sweat profusely on the feet.

Deodorants contain an antiseptic to combat bacteria.They do reduce odour but do not cut down the sweating.Therefore, if you have a tendency to sweat a lot, after a few hours the deodorant will be washed away.Most deodorants, in addition, contain perfumes to disguise whatever odours are produced.
