Body odor can be masked by using antiperspirants and deodorants containing antibacterial ingredients. These products reduce sweat production while inhibiting bacterial growth, thus lessening the odor.
Body odor, medically known as axillary bromhidrosis, is an unpleasant smell produced when sweat secreted by the sweat glands in the armpits is broken down by bacteria. To mask this odor, antiperspirants and deodorants containing antibacterial ingredients can be used. These products typically contain ingredients such as aluminum salts, which can temporarily block sweat glands, reducing sweat secretion and thus reducing the environment for bacterial growth. At the same time, the antibacterial ingredients in these products can inhibit bacterial reproduction, further reducing the odor. It is recommended to apply these products after cleansing the skin for best results.
Besides using antiperspirants and deodorants, there are other management methods that can help reduce the odor of body odor. For example, maintaining good personal hygiene habits, such as regularly washing the armpit area, can reduce bacterial growth. Wearing breathable clothing and avoiding spicy foods and alcohol can also help alleviate body odor symptoms. These methods cannot completely cure body odor; they can only relieve symptoms to some extent. When using these products and methods, it is important to be aware of their limitations and avoid having unrealistic expectations.
