tips to stay clean and fresh

1. 🚿 shower every day — no skipping!

- try to shower once a day, whether it’s in the morning or at night, to wash off any sweat and bacteria.

- use a gentle antibacterial soap for extra freshness, and don’t forget to clean areas like your armpits, feet, and groin since that’s where odor likes to hide.

• if you get sweaty during the day, try to rinse off or take a quick shower as soon as you can to keep any odors away.

2. 🧼 dry off completely — bacteria love moisture

- after your shower, gently pat your body dry with a towel.

- focus on areas like your armpits and groin where moisture can build up.

- bacteria love damp spots, so keeping your skin dry helps prevent odor.

• if you can, step out of the bathroom while you dry off.

• the steam can make your skin damp again, even after you’ve just dried it.

3. ✂️ trim body hair — less sweat trap = less odor

- wet body hair can hold onto bacteria and cause odor, especially in spots like your armpits and groin.

- if you prefer a light trim, use small grooming scissors to shorten the hair.

- for a cleaner feel, you can use a trimmer or razor to remove it completely.

• be careful when trimming your armpit hair.

• start by applying shaving cream, then gently shave and rinse your armpit.

• if you’re trimming other areas, apply more shaving cream and use a clean razor.

• take your time and be gentle to avoid any cuts.

• adding shaving cream or aftershave while trimming helps your skin stay soft and leaves a nice, clean scent.

4. 🧴 use deodorant — daily, not just for gym days

- if you sweat a lot on your armpits or feet, try using an antiperspirant with aluminum to help reduce it.

- apply it under your arms or even on your feet to keep them dry.

- many also smell nice, so choose a scent you love.

• if you don’t sweat much, you can go for a deodorant without antiperspirant.

• it’s slightly acidic, which helps fight the bacteria that cause body odor.

5. 👕 wear clean, breathable clothes — no repeats!

- wearing dirty or smelly clothes can transfer bacteria back onto your skin, so always put on something clean.

- natural fabrics like cotton, wool, and silk allow your skin to breathe and help reduce sweating.

- if you’re active or tend to sweat more, go for moisture-wicking fabrics like polyester or merino wool to keep you comfortable and odor-free.

• quickly washing your workout clothes helps stop any smells from setting in, even with sweat-resistant fabric.

6. 🧦 slip on antibacterial socks — no more smelly feet

- look for socks labeled with bacteria-fighting features to help prevent odors.

- make sure your feet are fully dry before putting them on to avoid trapping moisture.

- always choose a fresh pair to keep your skin clean and protected.
