Stay Fresh All Day

In the realm of personal hygiene, persistent body odour or B.O. is vexing. This unmistakable, less-than-pleasant scent can hit you after a strenuous workout or during a nerve-wracking presentation. It's hard to feel confident when you're always trying to hide the smell. And it doesn't matter how much cologne you’re using, having smelly armpits won't go away on its own.

Bad B.O. is not necessarily a sign of poor hygiene—the smell is linked to the body’s sweat mechanism. We sweat to help control our body temperature and when this sweat meets the bacteria on our skin, a bad odour is produced. The good news is that you can mask body odour with the right anti-perspirant.

What Causes Armpit Odour

The real cause of armpit odour isn’t sweat. In fact, your sweat doesn’t smell at all. There are two types of sweat glands in our body: eccrine and apocrine. When apocrine sweat interacts with germs on our skin, it produces that distinct smell. While it may not be possible to completely prevent germs from causing a smell, practicing proper hygiene habits can effectively manage the situation.

3 Ways to Deal with Body Odour

1 – Take Regular Showers

No-shower days result in the accumulation of sweat and dead skin cells, leading to unpleasant odours. If a single shower isn’t good enough for you, feel free to shower twice a day, especially during the summer, when sweating is more common.  A popular men's shower gel like NIVEA MEN COOL KICK has climbed the ranks to become a product you might just look forward to every day with its unique formula which has cooling menthol for a clean skin feeling and long lasting freshness. Take care of your hygiene and enjoy the benefits of a fresh and invigorating shower experience.

2 – Trim Your Armpits

Does armpit hair cause odour? Technically, no. However, underarm hair traps moisture and creates the perfect breeding ground for germs. Keeping armpit hair short can enhance the effectiveness of your anti-perspirant.

3 - Use The Right Anti-Perspirant  

Deodorants and antiperspirants have distinct purposes. Deodorants tackle body odour, while antiperspirants aim to manage sweat production. To address both needs, it's crucial to check the product's packaging. If your current choices aren't effective, consider the new NIVEA MEN FRESH SENSATION ANTI-PERSPIRANT. This product boasts up to 48-hour sweat and odour protection. Its advanced INFINIFRESH formula actively combats odour-causing germs for a fresh and long-lasting fragrance. Plus, it contains no ethyl alcohol and its skin compatibility is dermatologically proven for delicate skin.
