Radiate Summer Vibes: How To Naturally Smell Wonderful During The Hot Months

The summers have already started and the high temperature and humidity can leave you sweaty, the moment you step out of the house. However, it’s completely normal. But that doesn’t mean you have to stay like that and smell bad throughout the day. Read to learn tips to naturally smell good all summer. 

Shower Daily

Taking a cold shower every day can remove all the sweat, dirt and bacteria from your body which contribute to bad body odour. Most people take showers once a day in the morning. But because it’s summer, you can take a shower twice a day. Moreover, you should use body wash or soap while taking a shower. 

Use Gentle Soap

Most people tend to use harsh soap while taking a shower. However, harsh soaps strips away the natural oils, which can make you smell bad. You should pick the soap which is labelled as fragrance-free. 

Exfoliate

Exfoliation removes the dead skin cells from our body which traps the sweat, dirt and bacteria. You can use a body scrub and loofah to exfoliate your skin. However, be gentle while doing so. 

Wash Hair

The frequency of washing hair depends on the hair type and activity level. However, in summer it is advised to wash hair twice or thrice a week. People who are engaged in physical activity and have oily scalps should wash their hair every day. 

Wear Natural Fibres

Summers are all about embracing natural fabrics like cotton, as they allow your skin to breathe and help prevent sweat build-up and cause body odour. Synthetic clothes trap sweat and make you smell worse.
