Wipe rubbing alcohol, vinegar or hydrogen peroxide onto your underarms during the day to cut down the numbers of odour-causing bacteria. ? Dab on witch hazel. You can splash it directly on your skin or apply it as often as necessary with a cotton pad. The clear, clean-smelling liquid has drying and deodorizing properties. ? Dust baking soda or cornstarch on any odour-troubled part of your body. Both of these powders absorb moisture, and baking soda also kills odour-causing bacteria. ? 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.
