Summer sun, bustling days, and a lingering sense of confidence – that’s the ideal recipe for a fantastic season. But let’s be honest, staying fresh throughout the day can feel like a constant battle. During the summer you’re gonna want to walk around, run, have fun with friends and that’s just a recipe for sweat. So here we have some tips and products that can help you not worry about smelling bad whilst having a good time.
Deodorant – obviously, and antiperspirants – whats the difference? Deodorants mask odor, while antiperspirants block sweat production. Choose your weapon wisely. If you’re a light sweater, a deodorant might suffice. Heavier sweaters, this is your antiperspirant call to action. Explore natural options too, especially if you have sensitive skin. Apply liberally after showering, and reapply throughout the day, especially after breaking a sweat. My personal favorite? Sol de Janeiro Rio Deo Cheirosa ’62 deodorant, it soothes your arm and leaves no irritation, plus it stays on for very long!
Remember that dirty clothes are odor magnets. Wash them regularly, especially workout gear. The types of fabrics that tend to trap sweat and odor is synthetic fabrics, such as polyester or nylon, or fabrics like heavy denim and wool. Keep a travel-sized body spray like Eight Saints Island Time Body Spray or fabric refresher like Good Basics Fabric Refresher Spray in your bag for midday pick-me-ups.
Don’t forget your breath! Something as simple as good breath instantly leaves you smelling a hundred times better. Brushing twice daily and flossing regularly are key. Mints or sugar-free gum are lifesavers for a quick refresh. If you are having trouble with the health of your teeth, look into the article “Strategies for Achieving Whiter & Healthier Teeth”.
When applying perfume on your body, you can use different techniques that will make your perfume last longer. Apply strategically to pulse points – wrists, inner elbows, and behind the ears. These areas radiate heat, helping the scent bloom beautifully. Want a scent that lingers? Layer your products, use a body lotion like the Moroccanoil Body Lotion or wash from the same fragrance family as your chosen perfume or cologne for a long-lasting effect.
One last thing that is worth mentioning is that your diet does affect your smell.
Stay hydrated! Water flushes toxins that contribute to body odor. Aim for eight glasses a day. Strong-smelling foods like garlic and onions can leave their mark, so be mindful of your pre-date dinner choices.
