Avoid Body Odour by following this.

Sweating is a natural way your body regulates its

temperature. When you sweat from your underarms,

it's a sign that your body's cooling system is working

well. But sweaty underarms can be uncomfortable,

embarrassing, and sometimes smelly. Many people

turn to commercial antiperspirants and deodorants

to combat this issue. However, if you prefer a natural

alternative, baking soda can be an effective solution.

Unlike some commercial products, baking soda is

gentle on your skin, doesn't cause staining, and doesn't contain potentially harmful ingredients. Here's how

to use baking soda to control underarm sweating and odor.

Step 1: Create a Baking Soda Mask Baking soda has natural antibacterial properties that can help counteract body odor caused by bacteria feeding on sweat. To make a baking soda mask, follow these steps:

  • Take two tablespoons of baking soda.

  • Add enough water to make a thick paste.

  • Mix thoroughly to remove any lumps.

  • Apply this paste to your clean, dry underarms. You can use a spa brush or an old makeup brush for even coverage.

  • Allow the paste to sit on your skin for 15 to 25 minutes. Keep your arms raised while it dries to ensure full contact with the paste.

Step 2: Rinse and Moisturize After 15 to 25 minutes, rinse your skin thoroughly and pat it dry. To soothe your armpits, apply a water-based moisturizer like aloe vera gel. Choose a moisturizer with little or no alcohol content, as alcohol can exacerbate dryness.

Step 3: Daily Application For the first week, apply the baking soda mask daily until you notice that body odor is no longer an issue. Many people experience positive results after just 1 to 3 applications, but individual experiences may vary.

Step 4: Hair Removal To optimize the effectiveness of the baking soda mask, keep your underarms as hair-free as possible. Hair can trap moisture and odor. You can wax or shave your underarm hair as needed.


Step 5: Ongoing Maintenance If you only experience minimal underarm sweating, you can use baking soda as a dusting powder. Here's how:

  • Mix equal parts of baking soda and cornstarch powder.

  • Add a drop or two of lavender essential oil for a pleasant scent (optional).

  • Transfer the mixture to an airtight container.

  • Dust your underarms generously with this mixture after each shower and as needed throughout the day. Make sure your underarms are completely dry before applying.

Baking soda alone works well for most people, but if you have sensitive skin, the addition of cornstarch powder can help. Reapply the powder as necessary to keep your underarms fresh and dry.

Conclusion: Using baking soda to control underarm sweating and odor is a natural and effective alternative to commercial products. It's gentle on your skin, doesn't stain your clothes, and is free from potentially harmful ingredients. By following these steps, you can enjoy a more comfortable and confident day-to-day experience while staying fresh and odor-free.
