Wear Breathable Fabrics

Opt for natural, breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, or bamboo, which allow air to circulate and absorb moisture from your skin.

Trim Body Hair

Excess body hair can trap sweat and bacteria, leading to odour. Trim or shave underarm and pubic hair to reduce the growth of odour-causing bacteria.

Use Rock Salt

Rock salt possesses powerful cleansing properties and can help reduce sweating and body odour. Add some rock salt crystals to your bucket of lukewarm water and take a relaxing bath once they dissolve entirely in the water.
