Clean Deep: End Body Odour
Certain parts of the human body are prone to odour, the reason being that they are hidden and unexposed to air and sun.
Armpits
The armpits are not exposed to air and sunlight, and since people break out in sweat under the arm, the sweat is trapped in the pores and unable to dry off due to lack of contact with air. Trapped sweat emits unpleasant odours.
To clean
You need a strong sponge for proper scrubbing when you are taking your bath. Lather your sponge with a generous amount of soap, lift your hand and scrub under your arm with the sponge. You have to shower at least twice a day-in the morning and in the evening.
Do not allow hair to grow in your armpit, shave your armpit in the shower before taking your bath. Repeat this exercise at least once a month or twice a month if you are very hairy.
If you are one of those who sweat profusely, antiperspirant/deodorant should be your constant companion. But you don't need deodorant if you don't sweat too much.
Folds of the neck
The folds of the neck can house trapped dirt which is sometimes transferred to the shirt collar. The dirt is caused by trapped sweat and the area emits odour just like the armpit. Scrub your neck and the area behind your ears with the sponge. Also, apply body spray to the area after shower to keep it smelling fresh and nice.
Under the knees
People fold their legs while sitting and the area behind the knees could sweat in the process. Clean this area the same way you would clean your neck and the back of your ears. Always carry a handkerchiefs or face towel. These are useful items for wiping off sweat when you are outdoor.
The mouth
Your mouth needs proper care because food particles and meat get stuck in between your gums on a daily basis and this could cause mouth odour. Floss and brush your teeth twice a day. Have professional cleaning at least two times a year if possible.
Vagina cleaning
In normal circumstances you are not supposed to smell "down there" but if you notice some unpleasant fishy odour, you need to see a doctor because you could be coming down with an infection.
As far as periods go, you have to change your tampons frequently, shower daily and wear clean clothes.
Douches and wipes may not solve the problem
Douches, feminine sprays, deodorants, or wipes supposedly keep a woman's vaginal area smelling fresh and clean. Unless a doctor tells you to, you should not douche. Douching can cause allergic reactions, irritation, and even infections.
Feminine sprays, deodorants, and scented tampons aren't a good idea either. They are often heavily perfumed and, like douching, can lead to allergic reactions, irritation, and infections.
Wash with mild soap
Washing every day with a mild soap and plenty of warm water will keep your vigina clean.
