Lifestyle: 11 Incredible ways to get rid of smelly armpits.


When it’s hot out, if you’re exercising, or if your clothing is too tight, you’re more likely to sweat.

In addition to the discomfort of having moisture on your body and stains on your clothing, the smell of sweat can be the worst.

That’s why in today’s article we want to provide you with the best home remedies for smelly armpits.

Try them!

How to get rid of smelly armpits

No one wants to go through life with the smell of perspiration…particularly when it comes from the underarm area.

The key is to control the development of bacteria that give off that signature odor.

If you don’t want to use deodorants or antiperspirants that are full of chemicals or substances that can irritate the skin, we recommend the following home remedies:

1. Antibacterial soap

It’s very important to maintain good hygiene in this area, and washing your underarms with antibacterial soap several times a day can definitely help.

We don’t recommend perfumed soaps because they can have the same effect as deodorants.

Another interesting option is natural soap. Don’t forget to dry the underarm area thoroughly to avoid a musty smell.

If you’re looking for natural options, buy soap that is made with goat milk and almonds, or other natural herbs like calendula and lavender.

2. Hydrogen peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide is so useful that everyone should have a bottle of it at home.

In addition to being a first aid treatment for any cuts or wounds, it’s also helpful if you want to eliminate any odors from your underarms or feet.

It can also remove the stains caused by deodorants or sweat.

What should you do?

Soak a cotton ball with hydrogen peroxide and apply it to your underarm area after you shower.

3. Lettuce

Here’s an excellent deodorant that not only eliminates the bacteria from the underarm area, it can also soothe this part of the body (it’s ideal for people who have sensitive skin or irritation).

What should you do?

Wash two leaves of lettuce and place one under each arm after you shower and dry the area.Leave it on until the leaves reach room temperature. Don’t rinse.

4. Vinegar

Because the odors coming from the underarm area are caused by a build-up of bacteria, you need something to eliminate this problem. One effective way is with vinegar.

To keep its particular smell from bothering you, however, only use it at night before going to bed.

What should you do?

Apply a little vinegar to the area using a clean cotton cloth.In the morning, rinse your underarms well and wash with antibacterial soap.

5. Lemon

In addition to cleansing the area, the acid contained in this citrus fruit also reduces odors by eliminating bacteria.

What should you do?

Cut a lemon in half and rub each half under your arms. Wait for 15 minutes before rinsing with plenty of warm water.If it burns, it could be due to some irritation in the area. Rinse immediately if this occurs.Repeat this treatment every night. However, remember that lemon juice can stain the skin when it comes into contact with the sun.

6. Potato slices

Although they are moist by themselves, potato slices serve to reduce the odor caused by the overgrowth of bacteria.

What should you do?

All you have to do is cut a potato into medium sized slices (about 1/2 inch thick) and place them under your arms.Leave them on for 20 minutes or until the slices are dry.

7. Baking soda

This is one of your best friends when it comes to health and beauty.

What should you do?

Replace talcum powder with baking soda.Once you’re completely dry after a shower, apply a little baking soda to the underarm area and leave it on all night.Rinse with warm water in the morning, and wash with antibacterial soap.You can also make a paste using a little water and apply it. Rinse with warm water after 20 minutes.

8. Corn starch

This ingredient has similar properties to baking soda and might be even more effective at absorbing perspiration.

What should you do?

Mix corn starch and baking soda in equal quantities and apply it to the underarm area every night.Leave it on until morning.

9. Tea tree oil

This essential oil is well known for its antibacterial and antifungal properties.

When you combine it with lavender essential oil (equal parts), you not only eliminate any bad odors in the area, you get a pleasant and natural perfume that will last you all day.

Try to use it every morning and after you bathe.

10. Aloe vera

No list would be complete without the addition of aloe vera. This is a tried and true remedy for people who tend to sweat a lot throughout the year, especially when it’s hot out.

What should you do?

It’s as easy as cutting open a leaf of the aloe plant and applying the gel to your underarm area.Leave it on for a few minutes and don’t rinse the gel. You’ll feel more fresh instantly.

This is another great way to fight excessive sweating.

What should you do?

You can use the essential oil or brew a tea. Either way, apply it with a cotton ball after you bathe and allow it to dry.
