People with body odour sometimes keep asking whether bathing, using antiperspirant, deodorants and antibacterial soaps really work against body odour?
1. Taking your bath and body odour.
When you spend long intervals between baths, you give the bacteria on the skin enough time to interact with the sweat on your skin to produce body odour. The smell of your armpit 24hrs after your last bath is a clear reminder of this.Â
When you bath you wash off sweat from your skin, it reduce the quantity of bacteria on your skin, as well as rid your skin of the smelly products of bacteria metabolism (breakdown of sweat components into smaller units).Â
Frequent baths therefore keeps you fresh and less likely to smell.Â
2. Antiperspirants, deodorants and antibacterial soaps: Antiperspirants are chemical formulations that reduce sweating by blocking sweat pores of the skin.Â
Deodorants make your skin acidic and unfavorable for (some) bacteria to grow on. Antibacterial soaps are sometimes prescribed (among other reasons) for persons trying to get rid of persistent body odours proving difficult to curb.Â
They help reduce the population of specific kinds of bacteria on the skin. Next time you see these labels in the supermarket, don’t forget that:
Antiperspirants – reduce sweating
Deodorants – prevent (some) bacteria from growing or multiplying
Antibacterial – reduce population of bacteria.
To conclude, regular bathing, Deodorants and Antibacterial Soaps really works against body odour.
