In winter, although we may have said goodbye to the heat of summer a long time ago, perspiration is still there and bad odors are therefore felt due to the bacteria that develop under the armpits. And in big sweaters, the odors macerate and it’s not very pleasant. When summer is the time when we sweat the most, then unpleasant body odors are much more pronounced! Here are three tips that will help you smell good from morning until night and combat sweating. Long live natural products to very effectively replace deodorants with chemical substances!
In case of excessive sweating, discover here our 4 tips to sweat less.
1) The simplest deodorant there is to smell good, but ultra effective
To avoid odors, a great classic is palmarosa essential oil which eliminates bacteria and odors linked to excessive perspiration. To do this, simply massage one or two drops into the armpit every morning. Renew as needed during the day (plus, a vial of essential oil takes up less space in your bag, desk drawer or locker room than deodorant).
Remember that deodorant is only used to combat odors and has no particular antiperspirant effect. If you sweat a lot, follow the tips below instead.
2) Antiperspirant lotion with a fresh scent to smell good
In a bottle, mix 50 ml of apricot kernel oil, 30 drops of bitter orange essential oil, 20 drops of lemon essential oil and 10 drops of Sage essential oil. Apply it to your armpits and wipe off any excess with a tissue. Let it dry well before getting dressed so that the skin absorbs it well.
3) A hydrosol and aromatic water against perspiration
You can use pure sage hydrosol applied under the armpits to regulate excessive sweating. Grapefruit aromatic water is also an excellent choice when you suffer from excessive sweating.
Bonus: 3 simple tips!
- Drink enough! This is very important for sweating better.
- Remove hair from your armpits, as hair is a breeding ground for bacteria and promotes maceration.
- Avoid synthetic materials. Choose cotton, linen or even wool.
