Shave regularly under your arms. Underarm hair can increase body odour because it traps sweat and bacteria.
? Apply tea-tree oil to problem areas, as long as it doesn?t irritate your skin. This oil, from an Australian tree, kills bacteria and also has a pleasant scent.
? Essential oils of lavender, pine and peppermint fight bacteria. They also smell nice. Since some people have a skin reaction to certain oils, test the underarm area or a small patch of skin before using.
? Delightfully fragrant, sage can fight bacteria and reduce perspiration. You can purchase a solution of sage tincture or diluted sage oil, or brew some sage tea that you cool and store in a bottle. Any of these liquids can be used in the underarm area, but not around the genitals. And after using sage, wash your hands before touching your face.
