Body odor is a smell that develops when bacteria on the skin break down certain components of sweat. It is often more noticeable in the armpits and areas of the body that easily become damp. Body odor is common and can be influenced by activity, hormones, and daily habits. Sweat itself does not always smell; odor can form when sweat interacts with bacteria on the skin. Physical activity, hot weather, clothing that does not absorb sweat well, and hormonal changes can affect the intensity of body odor.
What should you do?
Bathe regularly, clean skin folds, and dry your skin well after bathing. Wear clean, comfortable clothes and change after sweating heavily. Deodorants or antiperspirants can be considered as needed.
Using an antiseptic body wash can be part of your body hygiene routine if it suits your skin type and is used as directed. Minosep Body Wash is one of the options in the Minosep body care range. Minosep Body Wash can also remove residue from deodorants and antiperspirants that may later cause body odor.
