1. Personal hygiene
Water, soap and your favorite deodorant are the basics. In the summer, showering several times a day is often necessary.
It is important not to use products containing paraffin. They clog the pores, reduce the positive effects of sweating on the skin, and can lead to irritation and inflammation. A properly chosen natural deodorant neutralizes sweat odor with antiseptic substances that kill bacteria.
2. In illness
During flu or other viral diseases, you should avoid antiperspirants. The body sweats during a virus to reduce fever.
The sweat of a healthy person smells the least — for example, after exercise. Sweat from stress smells stronger, and illness causes an unpleasant odor. In fact, it’s sometimes possible to identify a disease even before symptoms fully appear, simply by noticing changes in body odor.
3. After sports
After sports, we should shower — but only after a rest phase of about 10 to 15 minutes. That’s how long the body needs to reduce increased sweat production.
If you skip this phase, you may sweat even more after showering than before. Also, avoid very hot water: it washes away protective lipids from the skin’s surface and dries it out.
The best solution is a short shower with pleasantly warm water. It also relaxes tense muscles and helps prevent cramps.
4. Mental well-being
Emotional sweat smells the strongest. Unfortunately, it often appears in important situations like exams, auditions, or job interviews.
This type of sweat is produced in the largest amount — up to five times more than heat-related sweat. In comparison, sweat caused by overheating usually has little to no odor.
