How to Keep Your Body Smelling Fresh with an Odor Eliminating Body Wash

Does body odor make you overly conscious? 

You’re not alone. 

When walking in scorching heat, performing a physical activity, or spending a few minutes in a confined space, everyone starts sweating. It’s completely normal. It’s just your body trying to regulate its temperature. 

Nevertheless, we understand that the not-so-great smell accompanying sweat can be embarrassing when you’re around people. 

Thankfully, you can use an odor-eliminating body wash and a few other tips to ensure you stay fresh and smell good every day. 

The key is to understand what causes the unpleasant smell in the first place. 

Why Does Your Sweat Smell Bad? 

Generally, sweat has no smell. It’s the bacteria on your sweaty skin that give it an unpleasant odor. These bacteria grow and multiply when they come in contact with sweat and oils. They cause protein and fatty acids to break down, resulting in body odor. 

That being said, body odor works a little differently for older people. As you age, hormonal imbalances often produce more lipid acids in the body. Meanwhile, the natural antioxidant protection is compromised, resulting in greater oxidation of the fatty acid. This leads to the production of a chemical compound called Nonenal. It is known to have an unpleasant, greasy, and/or grassy odor.  

To avoid the embarrassment of body odor, you must address the root cause of the problem: bacteria. Also, it’s possible to get rid of the “old people scent” to a significant extent with body washes and soaps designed to eliminate the problem.

6 Tips to Make Body Odor Go Away

You can do several things besides using an odor-eliminating body wash to keep your body smelling fresh. Check out some proven tips below.  

1. Shower, Shower, Shower 

First and foremost, you must take daily showers or baths to keep your body squeaky clean. It’s best to use an antibacterial soap to prevent the buildup of bacteria that cause body odor. While you’re at it, take your time to wash all areas of your body thoroughly, especially those more prone to sweating, like your feet and underarms. 

Additionally, make sure you pat your skin dry properly using a clean towel after taking a shower to prevent bacteria from breeding on the skin. 

2. Invest in a Good Quality Odor-Eliminating Body Wash

An odor-eliminating body wash can help neutralize the unpleasant body scent. You can get yours from Mirai Clinical. 

We sell Japanese anti-aging odor products infused with the goodness of persimmon extract, which acts as a natural deodorizer. The fruit is packed with tannins that dissolve Nonenal to keep your body smelling fresh throughout the day. 

Our Purifying & Deodorizing Body Wash with Japanese Persimmon will also help you get rid of foot and vaginal odors. It is the only odor-eliminating body wash in the US with persimmon extract. This potent antioxidant is rich in vitamins with purifying and deodorizing properties.   

If you’re tired of using dry and abrasive soap bars, this product will be an excellent alternative. The formula doesn’t contain sulfates or harmful chemicals. We use a carefully curated range of natural ingredients to provide your body with optimal nourishment and hydration.      

Thanks to a highly concentrated formula, a little quantity goes a long way. All you have to do is squeeze the recommended amount on a loofa, body sponge, or washcloth and lather it onto your skin. Next, rinse with water and pat yourself dry. 

That’s it.

3. Use Antiperspirants or Deodorants 

Antiperspirants are specially formulated to fight sweat, whereas deodorants help mask body odor. Ideally, you should use an industrial-strength antiperspirant on your underarms after taking a shower if you’re looking to prevent sweat from occurring. You can also use it every morning and before going to bed to prevent perspiration. 

If you’re looking for an antiperspirant, look for a product with aluminum chloride. This chemical helps keep sweat and body odor at bay. It often also has deodorant properties. With that said, you won’t need a prescription for a strong antiperspirant. However, if you can’t find one that suits your body, you may discuss the issue with your doctor. A natural deodorant may suit you better if you’re simply looking for odor control. These products do not contain chemicals that interact with your body, but simply neutralize the bacteria found in the underarm area. 

4. Wear Clean, Fresh Clothes

Used and dirty clothes serve as a favorable breeding spot for bacteria. Therefore, make it a point to change clothes often when doing activities that cause heavy sweating. Fresh clothes will help keep the unpleasant scent down.

If you wear socks regularly and tend to develop foot odor, make sure you change your socks often and use deodorant powders in your shoes. Replacing insoles from time to time also helps keep the smell at bay. 

In addition to this, make it a habit to wash your clothes regularly. Body odor can stick when you don’t wash your clothes properly.

5. Always Go for Breathable Fabrics

While it’s natural to sweat, certain fabrics can make you sweat more than usual as you go about your daily activities. A good rule of thumb is to choose fabrics that allow your body to breathe, including cotton, wool, and silk. When air easily passes through your clothes, you won’t have to worry about sweat building up and causing embarrassing body odor.   

If you work out daily or on most days, you should consider going for synthetic, moisture-wicking clothing materials to ensure your body sweats less. When you keep the sweat off your skin, bacteria won’t grow and multiple as easily. As a result, your body won’t stink as much. 

Also, don’t forget to wear breathable workout shoes to prevent foot odor as well.

6. Watch What You Eat and Drink

Did you know that some foods can make body odor worse?

You truly are what you eat! 

For example, hot peppers and other spicy food items might make you sweat more, thereby causing body odor. In addition to this, garlic and onions have a unique smell that tends to come out through your pores when you sweat. Furthermore, people who drink a considerable amount of alcohol and caffeinated beverages are likely to sweat more. 

Considering this, you should try to maintain a healthy diet. You don’t necessarily have to quit the consumption of food items that may cause body odor. Just try to eat them in moderation.
