4 Easy ways to stop body odour

Have you ever met a person whose body smells? If you have, you won’t want that for yourself

Your thoughts (137)

Here are some easy things you can do to keep yourself smelling clean and fresh

Bathing regularly
Body odour comes from your sweat mixing with germs that live on your skin. These germs are normal. Everyone has them. So there’s no need for worry. Taking your bath washes away the sweat, which washes away the smell. Taking a bath in the morning and at night will help your body stay fresh.

Use the Lemon treatment
Do you sweat a lot in some places on your body, like your armpit? You can use lemon juice to wash that area. Cut a lemon in half and rub the area with the inside part. Allow it to dry, then take your bath. Even better, add lemon juice to your bath water. The lemon juice helps reduce the germs that cause body odour. Plus, it is really refreshing.

Drink plenty of water
This one sounds interesting, doesn’t it? The truth is that, water helps to flush the inside of the body and keep your skin fresh. Choose water instead of soft drinks. Don’t wait until you’re very thirsty to drink water.

Keep your clothes clean
Wash your clothes regularly. Especially your underwear. Make sure your clothes dry properly before you fold or wear them.

A nice smell can boost your confidence you know. Try out our tips and feel free to share other tricks you have with us at the comments section.

Hey girl! You can treat rashes by applying olive oil on your face (after washing it). Leave for about 1 hour and wash. Clean face with a neat towel. Also, you can use aloe vera gel to cure rashes on the face. Apply to the face, leave for 20 minutes and wash off. Remember to use either of the 2 methods (not both) and do this 3 times a week. While treating rashes, remember to wash your towel, bed sheets, pillowcase and anything that you put on your face. We hope this helps!

Nice tips, i will use this tips to help some people. Thanks!

Hey girl! Thanks for the comment. That's a good one. Stay clean and use a deodorant regularly to avoid body odour.

If you have body odour, please avoid using scented soap, cream, perfume, because after the scented smell is gone, your body odour become worst. Dont use 100 litres of water to wash your private part, this sound so strange, but it is true, this is because the water is not purified, it contains bacteria which will help it smell the more after a couple of time

Hey Joviality! It is advisable to use an antibacterial soap to bath if you have body odour. Also, a good deodorant should be used regularly. Please note that you should use a deodorant instead of a perfume in your armpits. Water is best for washing your private part. Doctors advise that you should use just water (no soap), to wash your private parts. This is because your private part is good at cleaning itself. Just remember to wash with water. The most important thing is personal hygiene. Bath regularly, wash your clothes and your underwear regularly.

It's a very good idea

the most important thing to know that would stop body odure is to regularly take your bath three times a day that would probably stop the body stinch.

Hey 5432! It is advisable to bath more than once to prevent body odour. If you have been active all day, it is always best to bath before you go to bed to get rid of the sweat that may have stuck to your skin (this is usually the cause of body odour). We hope this helps.

Hey Kim! Stomach itchiness is often caused by a minor issue, such as dry skin or an insect bite. But if the itchiness persists or occurs with other symptoms, it might be a sign of a more serious condition that requires treatment. So we suggest you talk to a trusted adult and also see a doctor.

Hey Fame! Vaginal odor can be due to a number of reasons, such as bacterial growth, yeast infections, poor hygiene, hormonal changes, and sexually transmitted diseases. To prevent odours, wash your private part with just water every time you use the toilet. Also, change your underwear regularly and make sure you change into a clean one, drink lots of water but most importantly, please talk to a trusted adult and also see a doctor. We hope this helps.

Hey Nancy! Shaving can be a bit technical sometimes. You just need to learn a few tricks like NEVER shave dry! You should always shave on a damp skin. Also, Shave towards just one direction (preferably inwards; the direction where the hair grows from). Also, note that you should moisturize 30 minutes after shaving as the skin remains sensitive immediately after shaving. We hope this helps.

but why sum people wil put on neat cloth,have white teeth,and stil have odour?

March 20, 2022, 8:02 p.m.

Latest Reply

Hey Ebibest! Thanks a lot for this question. Most times, body odor is not for those that do not wear neat clothes alone. As you have said, some people can actually look really nice and neat and still have body odor. This is because body odor is caused by the multiplication of bacteria in sweat (please note that sweat itself is odorless). So many things can cause body odor; wearing an underwear for too long, not bathing properly and regularly, sweaty feets, dirty hair etc. Most people with body odor have a problem with bacterial overgrowth on their skin. We hope this helps.

Can deodorant stop body odour even if u don't hav ur bath

March 20, 2022, 8:02 p.m.

Latest Reply

Hey Goody! Using deodorant and not bathing will not stop body odor. It is usually advised that you apply deodorant on a clean armpit. Bathing removes the dirt from the skin (which is the most important) while deodorant does not remove dirt from the skin. We hope this helps.

Hey Amiso! Thanks for the comment. You probably have a cut in your armpit or the deodorant is too harsh for your skin. We advise that you check for a cut and discontinue the use of the deodorant for a while. We hope this helps.

bigsister i have a friend u don't bath for three days and put on one cloth for that period and she is in her period what should i advice her

March 20, 2022, 8:01 p.m.

Latest Reply

Hey Sexyp! Please advise your friend about personal hygiene. Also, she needs to know that the female body (unlike the male) is very sensitive and needs attention. When a girl is on her period, she should change her pad about 3 - 4 times depending on her flow but bathing is very important (not just when she is on her period but at all times). She needs to not only bath but wash and change her clothes and underwear regularly. Do not force her but rather, advice her. We hope this helps.

Latest Reply

Hey joyDeva! Wash you hair with a shampoo and conditioner that smells really nice, dry it properly. You can wash your hair once in two weeks. You should also wash your combs, hair drying towel etc well and keep them clean at all times. The environment and the person that makes your hair also matters. You may want to stop fixing weavons and braids for a while but if you must fix or braid, do not leave it in for more than 2 weeks (it could be less). If these don't work, please talk to a trusted adult. We hope this helps
