It is a natural human desire and also a requirement of social acceptance to a certain degree to look beautiful and visually attractive. An essential element of visual attractiveness for any person includes a neat, presentable and well-tailored attire, the right accessories and along with well-kept skin and hair. However, certain things can put off people around you even if you carry your most gorgeous self physically.
One such element includes lousy smell coming out of your body. Unfortunately, this is one of those problems that many people find it difficult to control no matter what they do. Generally, there are two reasons why people smell bad. It is either body odor or bad breath coming out of one’s mouth. Both these problems are difficult to deal with, but not impossible. Here are a few ways how you can bid farewell to your lousy smell issues and can save yourself from embarrassment.
Use an antiperspirant
One of the core reason why most people have body odor issues is that they sweat a lot. This is more common among people who either live in very humid climates, or they are struggling with underlying hormonal or medical issues that make them sweat. Generally, people invest more cheap perfumes to smell good and yet it fails to help them. In fact, many times the fragrance of perfume fails to curb the body odor and instead gets mixed with the bad smell resulting in a much worse situation.
This is very common because most people do not know the difference between a perfume and a deodorant. Contrary to popular belief, perfumes are not an antiperspirant agent, and therefore it is not capable of curbing body odor triggered by sweat and other body fluids. If you want to do away with the smell generated from sweat, invest in a good antiperspirant and use it religiously.
Shave Body Hair
People generally take this lightly because they are not aware that unnecessarily long body hair in your armpits is one of the biggest reasons behind body odor. This is because these body hair provide a haven for bacteria to breed and as a result, it generates a bad smell. This problem can be easily prevented by not letting your body hair growing out. Shave your body hair on a weekly or fortnightly basis depending on growth, and you will be good to go.
Use a Mouthwash
Glistening white teeth are essential for an attractive smile. Unfortunately, a set of well-kept teeth can only help in making them look visually attractive but can do little about the bad breath coming out of your mouth. Even brushing your teeth has a week effect on the odor that your mouth emits. The most natural solution to this problem is to carry a bottle of mouthwash in your bag or pocket and use it at regular intervals. Mouthwashes are meant to curb oral bacteria that cause bad breath and make your breath feel fresh and fragrant.
