Is underarm sweat stopping you from success in life? Here are seven easy steps to stop the stink.
1. Bathe at least once daily. Daily showering or bathing can go a long way toward removing the bacteria that causes underarm sweat. Use a loofah sponge instead of a washcloth as it seems to do a better job at removing bacteria. If you exercise hard or you live in a hot climate, bathe morning and evening.
2. Dry your armpits thoroughly. Bacteria like to grow in moist, dark areas, such as armpits.
3. Shave your armpits. Underarm hair is an ideal nesting ground for bacteria. Shave or at least trim the overgrowth regularly and regularly dispose of the razor.
4. Use the right antiperspirant/deodorant. Be sure to use a product with either aluminum chloride or aluminum chlorohydrate. (Be aware that these compounds can be irritating to skin. If you get a rash, switch to the other compound. Do not apply these products until 12 hours after you shave.) Also consult health food stores and medical supply stores for alternatives to the most popular brands. Don’t share deodorants or antiperspirants.
5. Wear cotton shirts. Cotton and other natural fibers allow your skin to breathe, keeping your underarms dry and odor free. Synthetic fibers force sweat to stay close to your body, breeding bacteria. Change shirts regularly and wash them thoroughly before wearing them again in order to wash away the bacteria. Don’t use someone else’s shirt without thoroughly washing it first. You don’t want to spread bacteria around.
6. See a doctor. If you find underarm sweat stopping your life, ask your doctor about it. He or she may be able to provide you a stronger variety of soaps and deodorant/antiperspirants. Your doctor may also run a battery of tests to rule out more serious underlying conditions. But try not to worry too much about the results: sweat is a natural reaction to fear and worry can exacerbate the problem.
7. Eat your zinc. Foods containing zinc, such as turkey, whole grains, nuts and beans, have been shown to help body odor problems. On the other hand avoid fish, garlic and cumin as these can cause body odor.
Sweat, including underarm sweat, is a natural function of the body. In most cases, eliminating sweat is a simple matter of personal hygiene. However, if you find underarm sweat stopping your career or social life, act now to prevent more serious problems.
