BODY ODOR

By: Boston

WHAT CAUSES BODY ODOR

Eccrine or Apocrine glands produce sweat. While we wear

sock or shoes, it is more difficult for the sweat to evaporate,

giving bacteria more sweat to break down into smelly

substances. Sweat is odorless by nature but bacteria that

covers the surface of the skin breaks down sweat and feed on

it. The result is if the smelly substances becomes a body odor

when it evaporates. Food can also make body odor.

Why do teens sweat more at the puberty stage

When our body starts to change, our sweat glands

becomes more active. When the sweat glands are

active, there are many ways to sweat easily. Such

as when you feel nervous because emotions can

also affect our sweat glands. We also sweat when

the temperature is hot or after we play sports then

the moisture evaporates and cools us off.

HOW TO DEAL WITH BODY ODOR

To handle body odor, we need to take a shower

daily, if you are worried about this, just use a

deodorant or a deodorant with antiperspirant.

Antiperspirant is a deodorant that masks odor and

helps to decrease sweating. You can talk to a doctor

when you sweat too much. Or you can do a good

hygiene.

sweating. Deodorant can kill the bacteria that causes

odor and keeps us clean and fresh. They are best to

keep you away from sweating and decreases the

chances for bacteria to grow. And it contains alcohol

and many other micro chemicals that can kill

bacteria.
