For anyone who gets compliments regularly on how good they smell can you drop tips esp for summertime? I’m naturally super sweaty and my birth control makes it ten times worse bc I live somewhere humid 😔

You need to “stack” your scents. After using a cleansing, antibacterial soap, go in with a vanilla soap, lotion with a vanilla-scented potion, and then finally spray some vanilla perfume.

Most of the odour that comes from sweat is actually just bacteria. Eliminate the bacteria, and you’ll eliminate the smell too.

girllll my birth control patch makes me sweat puddles but im able to control it with a good routine. first wash should always be the dial antibacterial soap (gold bar) and then cleanse with dove sensitive on privates, the key is to use benzoyl peroxide under your arms as it kills the bacteria that produces odor. I like to use Panoxyls 10% wash but use it sparingly so you don’t burn your underarms. on regular days, you can use The Ordinarys glycolic acid.

Also, baby powder!!! Dab a little under your most sweaty parts after applying lotion, as it greatly helps with staying dry all day. Ultimately, though, humans aren’t going to smell perfect all the time.

for your last cleanse, go in with something that replenishes moisture. after the shower, completely dry and use baby powder on all your sweaty areas. and then you can start layering all kinds of lotions and perfumes. it’s really important to have a good base and then adding onto that! also a good deodorant lol is carpe

As for perfume, Victoria’s Secret Bare Vanilla is delicious. In the shower, I start off with Pear’s antibacterial soap and then the Dove Shea Butter and Vanilla soap.
