Do you want to get rid of body odor in a natural way?
It’s natural to sweat. You sweat all the time, don’t you? You sweat when you are hot, nervous, you even sweat more when you exercise or do other strenuous activities. Sweating is your body’s way of regulating the temperature inside. Sweating is actually good for you because it prevents your body from overheating. Your body cools down when the air touches your sweaty skin and dries up the moisture.
On the other hand, sweating also usually causes body odor. It happens when sweat mixes with the natural bacteria on your skin. Some parts of your body have the most sweat glands so they sweat more. These are the underarms, palms, bottom of the feet and between the legs. The sweat glands on these body parts also become more active during puberty. This, plus the hormonal changes cause body odor.
Taking regular showers or baths is the best way to prevent body odor. Keeping every part of the body clean using water and soap is important since body odor is caused by a mix of bacteria and sweat. Most people also use deodorants. Deodorants are used to control and cover up the bad smell. Deodorants can be in the form of a spray, stick, powder, roll-ons or gels.
