Body odour is a problem faced by most. Blame it on the body’s composition or the weather, but nobody likes smelly underarms. While external applications like talcum powder and body mists may provide short-term relief, they may not help one throughout the day. Most people who have sweat problems may have an odour in their armpits.
Although sweating is a natural process of helping the body regulate its temperature, however, when it mixes with bacteria, it causes odour. So it is essential to maintain hygiene and wear comfortable and breathable fabric like cotton rather than polyester. Here are some DIY home remedies to eliminate the body odour from your underarms.
