A SUMMER READY woman has given top tips for keeping sweat under control.
She said she has a five-step routine to eliminate body odor, even in hot weather.
Editor Choice-parking-8503 posted his hack on the social media platform.
The woman said she takes four steps before even putting on deodorant.
“Apply a men’s deodorant,” she said.
She also added styling tips to further reduce odors.
STEP BY STEP
Redditor revealed his secret weapon against body odor.
“I use acne pads (like Stridex or Oxy) on my armpits and it’s amazing, read about it somewhere here and it keeps the bacteria at bay,” she said.
Stridex Acne Medicated Pads they sell for $4.49 on Amazon.
“Clean the pits well with something that exfoliates (loofah sponge) in the shower. Do a smell test while you’re there to make sure it’s 100% clean,” she said.
Then she allows her armpits to dry completely.
She follows up with the acne pads, making sure to cover the entire area.
She completes her routine with a few swipes of men’s deodorant.
The Redditor included a styling tip to further reduce odors.
“Wear natural fibers and breathable shirts,” she said.
“I find that no matter what I do, if I wear polyester or other synthetic fabrics, I get a little stinky.”
DELICIOUS REVIEWS
Several Amazon shoppers also swear by the pads for underarm use.
“I actually use this on my underarms if they feel weird. Very effective”, wrote one of them.
“Purchased for unintended use,” added another.
“Beauty on Reddit noticed that if you use this on your underarms, it supposedly helps adjust the pH balance to help with smells and it absolutely worked for me.
“I’m not sure if it’s aging or a change in diet, but I’ve noticed that my armpits have started to smell more now.
“I don’t even need to wear deodorant because of these things.”
