How to get rid of body odor: folk remedies that work as well as deodorant

Summer heat makes people sweat a lot. The pungent odor makes us uncomfortable.

If store-bought deodorants don't help, you can use natural remedies. OBOZREVATEL has found effective folk methods that will help to cope with this.

Lemon can get rid of unpleasant odors. It whitens the skin and makes it softer, and its acid prevents the growth of bacteria. After showering, rub a piece of fresh lemon under your armpits and leave it on for fifteen minutes, then rinse with water.

However, you may feel a burning sensation on your skin, which means that this method is not suitable for you. Rinse immediately with water to prevent irritation.

You can also use lemon juice with baking soda to enhance the effect. Mix the ingredients in a one-to-one ratio, apply to the underarms, and leave on for a few minutes. Then rinse off with warm water.

Aloe is a great remedy for getting rid of sweat. Cut a leaf of the plant and apply it to your armpits, leave it on for a few minutes. There is no need to wash off the remaining juice. It has a bactericidal effect, so give it time to dry. Don't worry, there will be no stains on your clothes.
