In a few nations and cultures, body odor is regarded a characteristic that is in demand. But in the United States, body odor will unquestionably restrain you from being the life of the party.

Sweat is where body odor begins. Perspiration is from the apocrine glands, situated in the armpits, around nipples and in the groin is the sweat that makes you stink. Why, you might ask? Because the perspiration from those glands has a large quantity of oil, which in turn allows a lot of food for bacteria. Perspiration, while keeping your body cool, if you cannot stop sweating, you also cannot arrest the bacteria. The following home remedies should help keep your personal smell from shocking other people.

The best way to prevent odor is to wash off the sweat and it’s bacteria. Attempt using an anti-bacterial soap rather than your regular soap.

You can try apple cider vinegar. The vinegar should be used in place of deodorant because it will bring down the pH of the skin and bacteria cannot live in areas with a low pH. White vinegar is also effective. Apply with a cotton wool ball instead of deodorant. The smell will be gone in minutes and you should be odor-free all day.

Rosemary is by nature an anti-bacterial herb. Add 8-10 drops of the Rosemary oil in 1 ounce of water and apply wherever needed. The same works for Tea Tree oil as well. With the Tea Tree oil use only 2 drops mixed with the 1 ounce of water and apply.

Another thing you can do to keep odor in check is by putting a small amount of baking soda in your hand. Then add a squeeze of lemon juice and make into a paste. Use the paste under your arms or where ever you have body odor and it should disappear.

These home remedies will help you so the next time you prepare for a grand entrance, definitely your body odour will not walk in before you do.
