Here are several powerful natural ways to get rid of the annoying underarm smell.
No one wants to have underarm odor but using
expensive and chemical filled deodorants and perfumes to get rid of it
are far away from being the best and healthiest way. If you have tried
using deodorant to mask underarm odor and it hasn’t worked or if you
just don’t want to use chemical based products to deal with underarm
odor anymore try instead these 10 natural ways to eliminate it:
- Apple Cider Vinegar
You can buy Apple Cider Vinegar at any grocery store. To get rid of
underarm odor, put some ACV in a spray bottle with a little water and a
splash of lemon juice. Spray that under your arms every morning and let
it dry before you get dressed. If you need to reapply during the day you
can keep a small spray bottle in your desk at work, in your purse, or
in your bag. The good bacteria in the ACV will keep your skin balanced
and get rid of bacteria that causes underarm odor.
- Stop Shaving
Getting rid of underarm odor can be simple as letting your armpit
hair grow out. Body hair is there for a reason, and shaving it off can
create problems. When you use shaving creams and lotions that are
chemical based they can irritate the skin. Even soap can irritate skin.
Razors or depilatory creams can also irritate the skin and allow
bacteria to grow. Letting your armpit hair grow takes care of the
problem naturally. Your hair will absorb the moisture that can cause
bacteria and underarm odor.
- Baking Soda
You probably already use baking soda to get rid of odors in your
refrigerator or in your laundry, so why not use it to get rid of
underarm odor too? Baking soda is gentle and natural. Mix a little
baking soda with a little cornstarch to make a light powder that will
keep you dry and smelling fresh all day. Apply it before you get dressed
and as often as needed throughout the day.
- Use a Natural Soap
Cleaning your armpits and the rest of your body with a natural soap
instead of a chemical based soap can help eliminate underarm odor.
Making your own soap is easy and fun to do, but if you don’t want to
make your own soap make sure that you buy a natural handmade soap that
is made from soothing goat’s milk. Or you can use castile soap which is a
gentle natural soap.
- Alcohol
Alcohol is a natural disinfectant that can be used for many purposes,
including getting rid of underarm odor. Be sure to use an odorless
alcohol like vodka so that you don’t smell like alcohol. When you are
getting dressed mist some alcohol under your arms and let it dry. It
will kill bacteria and odor.
- Tea Tree Oil
Essential oils are gentle on the skin but can solve a wide range of
skin problems including underarm odor. Tea Tree Oil is a natural
essential oil that has been used for hundreds of years as an
antibacterial and antifungal agent. To get rid of underarm odor and make
your underarms smell pleasant, mix a few drops of Tea Tree Oil into
some natural rosewater and spray under your arms.
- Hydrogen Peroxide
Another household staple, Hydrogen Peroxide, can also be a good way
to keep underarm odor from happening. Peroxide can be a little
irritating to the skin so mix it with water or with natural rosewater
and then wipe down your underarms with the mixture.
- Lemon
Lemon is another common item used to get rid of household odors. It
can get rid of underarm odor too. Lemon changes the Ph level of the skin
so if unbalanced Ph is causing odor lemon can solve the problem. Just
put a slice of lemon under each arm for 15 minutes in the morning to get
rid of odor all day.
- Alum
Alum is a great natural deodorant. Just wet a piece of alum and rub it under your arms and it will stop underarm odor.
- Talc
Natural talc will stop moisture from allowing bacterial growth and
that will stop odor before it starts. After you have washed with natural
soap dry your armpits and apply some talc. Reapply throughout the day
so that bacteria has no chance to grow.
