Sweat has no odor - an unpleasant "aroma" appears only when sweat is retained on the body by clothing and turns into a favorable environment for the reproduction of bacteria that are part of the skin's microflora.

Therefore, there is only one way to combat sweat odor: wash your skin and change clothes.

It is not necessary to take a shower or bath every hour: it is enough to wipe the areas that are prone to increased sweating with a damp cloth or sponge.

In addition, it is recommended to review what you eat - some foods increase the smell of sweat.

These include onions and garlic, curry, fenugreek, smoked foods, etc.

A strong and difficult to remove sweat odor may indicate an imbalance of skin microflora in areas of increased sweating, such as the armpits, groin, feet and natural folds of the skin.

To combat this phenomenon, you can use a mixture of water and hydrogen peroxide.

Mix boiled water at room temperature with 3% hydrogen peroxide in a proportion of 1 glass of water to 1 teaspoon of peroxide.

Treat problem areas with this mixture: as a result, the peroxide will help restore normal skin microflora. But it is better, of course, to seek professional advice from a doctor in such a situation.
