you've got this girl, good on you for starting young! never stop putting time and care into yourself, when you look good/smell good/eat good, you're gonna feel good ❤️
You’re the only person who’s given actual tips that can help people with hyperhidrosis and stress/anxiety sweat. A lot of people don’t understand that it’s not always as simple as using deodorant or antiperspirant. Thank you!
Yes I just now started going through this and it's really annoying that my own teachers and peers look at me funny when I have body order. Because I can't help that. Their always saying "put on deodorant". I've used clinical strength deodorant, dove, degree, secret, I've even tried men's deodorant but nothing helps. They don't understand how difficult it is to manage body oder under the armpits with excessive sweat. Especially during the summer time.
It's works! But once I stopped using the panoxyl and used a regular dove body wash I realized that the unde arm oder came back so im never leaving my panoxyl☺☺☺
@@Miaalovesya Maybe try leaving the panoxyl on your pits for 2-3 mins in the shower. Also consult a dermatologist, you may be dealing with hyperhidrosis. Im not a professional but it's just a guess.
@@stayinghomewithkristen6756 baking soda DOES work but it IRRITATES, ME! Which sucked because I was making a deodorant with it and I was smelling nice AND my pits were getting lighter and brighter then the irritation from the baking soda and now it’s heeled but caused hyperpigmentation smh if only baking soda didn’t irritate me.
I used to have a really bad body odor even though I followed all of the basic hygiene practices. It was so bad that I was known as the smelly kid in my school. One day, my english teacher pulled my desk outside of the classroom and made me take the class like that for the rest of the school year. I was utterly HUMILIATED. Now as an adult, I'm known for smelling good. I get complimented at least once a day on my scent. Here is my advice: 1) When you shower, always finish off with lukewarm to cold water. A lot of us smell bad because we take hot showers and that heat is making us sweat! You won't feel it because your whole body is wet. If you're a naturally sweaty person, you know that your sweat doesn't immediately stop even if you go into a cool place. It takes a few minutes. Now imagine being in a hot shower, already sweating for a few minutes, then get out of the shower, and put on deodorant. It's not going to work. Since you're already sweating, the deodorant is just going to slide off. Even if you wiped your armpit dry before putting on the deodorant, it's still not going to work because you're already in active sweat mode. Also, when you're sweating and you out on deodorant, it wipes off on your clothes and becomes a magnet for your dirt, sweat, oils etc. Even if you do a thorough job washing your clothes, there will always be a residue because deodorant is very waxy. Over time, it cakes up and builds up on the armpit of your clothes. Even if you take a good shower, wear deodorant and wear freshly washed clothes, you can still stick. Once the heat of your body touches the armpit of your clothes, it softens the waxy residue of old deodorant, and it will cause an odor. You need to spend the last few minutes in the shower on cool water, so you can stop the active sweating and rinse out any other sweat. 2) Wipe your armpits completely dry before putting on deodorant. If your armpit is damp, the deodorant will slide off. 3) Use antiperspirant. If the deodorant doesn't have, antiperspirant on the label, then there is no point. You're probably going to smell. 4) At least once a week, I rub lemon juice on my armpit. It's a natural armpit detox. Sometimes, while I rub the lemon on my armpit, I can smell the sweat getting stronger because it's pulling the odor out! I don't do it too often because it can irritate my armpit. *Edit* I no longer do this. Instead of lemon, I use the PanOxyl Foaming Acne Wash. It has 10% benzoyl peroxide. It's not about the specific product. It's the benzoyl peroxide. BABY! When I tell you it will wipe out all odors. I especially love to use it on my bikini line when I am on my period. It wipes out all odor. Just don't do it too much or it will dry out your skin. Lemon is still good, but this is better. 5) When applying deodorant, use a stick deodorant followed by a spray deodorant. For some reason, it just works! 6) If I have a long day, I reapply my deodorant, but before I do, I use a wet wipe to clean up everything. Then use a napkin to dry my armpits off completely before I reapply a new layer.
When I started drinking more water, I noticed my body odor completely rid itself. I barely can smell myself anymore it’s great! Loved the video for the tips too!
Yes I agree I've never had underarm odor. I've always drank water alot of water my whole life. My daughter even asked me how I don't have stretch marks and I had seven children. I took great care of my body from a young young age. I had one of those mothers that told the truth the harse truth. She use to run me out of the bathroom. Ive gone back to me teachings because all of these new ways to stay clean and fresh don't work at all. When taking care of your body what you but in the inside shows on the outside believe me I know. I never drank never used any kind of drugs I don't wear make up at all. Good for you in drinking more water.
People assume that you have poor hygiene if you sweet excessively. I understand trying every type of deodorant and prescribed creams with zero results.
For my fellow HS sufferers - or anyone who happens to read this. I use sensitive dove wash twice daily for my underarms and 10% Glycolic acid toner from Good Molecules 4-5x/week. Since using the glycolic acid, I have had ZERO use for deodorant other than for the fresh scent, but I typically don't use anything. What glycolic acid does is not only helps exfoliate the top layers of skin, but it also lowers the PH of your skin. When your skin's PH is lowered, it makes it a hostile environment for bacteria to thrive. This means there are fewer bacteria to break down the thioalcohol and yeast build-up from your sweat glands and skin. Thioalcohols contain sulfur and when it decomposes it's released causing the odor. It also helps with the HS by giving our tracts less chance of bacteria entering and causing a flare-up. I have been using this method for close to 6 months now and I have had only two flares of 2-3 nodes as opposed to it happening monthly with 4-5 in each underarm. Granted I have moderate HS but it's calmed down to a very mild case and I attribute it solely to the glycolic acid.
Good idea. I noticed since, I am now in perimenopause my underarm gets stained and I have some blackheads in my pores. I tried using epiduo but it ended up burning me. So I will give this a try. Thanks.
@@laluna9909 Hidradenitis suppurativa. It's an auto-inflammatory illness. With HS, our bodies produce too many inflammatory proteins, including TNF-alpha. This imbalance leads to increased inflammation throughout the body. People with HS also tend to have arthritis and asthma ( I have all three ) . This increased inflammation affects the deep layers of the skin, causing pressure that builds and becomes abscesses. ( Or just long tracks of tunnels of infection under the skin that constantly drain) Women are 3x more likely to get it than men and there is a genetic link. It has nothing to do with poor hygiene, it's not contagious and it's not an STD. The nodules/infections are EXTREMELY painful and we are constantly at war with our bodies. Depending on where the infections are, and how severe they are it can cause disability/inability to function in daily activities or have quality of life.
I love this video! I can’t stand to see hygiene routines from people who don’t deal with sweat/odor. I’ve always been a heavy sweater, and swear by Dr Bronners, and Dial deodorant soap for my armpits. I use Certain Dri deodorant at night, and either a dry spray or Donna Karan deodorant during the day. I still have to reapply in the afternoon, but I finally found a routine that works.
Cool, I'll keep this in mind to try. Have you tryed a Benzoyl Peroxide wash? Dr. Dray has said it's great to use in one of her videos for a few minutes on the armpits like a mask, wash off and continue w deodorant. I wash with a basic bar soap like Dove first, wash off, and then use the Panoxyl Benzoyl Peroxide for a few mins, wash off, and continue with my routine. Works pretty well so far.
One thing I like doing before hopping in the shower is putting a little oil on the armpits. Any oil works. It helps with lifting the deodorant and making it much easier to clean off. Like what you would do with makeup.
I started adding 2 tablespoons of chlorophyll to 8 oz of water and drink daily about 5 yrs ago, and BAM armpit odor gone! It’s holy grail! I love the way Cashmere Mist smells though ☺️
I used to struggle with deodorant as well. Ive struggled with it since high school. Ive been using the paulas choice 2% bha liquid exfoliatant and it has changed my life. I dont have to wear deodorant if i dont want to. My pits will smell like absolute nothing. I love it.
I realised using to warm water makes body sweat and smell. I spent 3 weeks in tropical country and was washing only with cold water, and miraculously no body odour. There is something with the chlorine hot water that makes my body sweat.I recommend using cold or lukewarm water to clean body it works
I am always in constant fear about how I have BO in my underarms I felt super ashamed because I felt like nothing worked but I’m glad I’m not the only one who struggles in finding something that’s works and I’m glad I found this video it makes me want to work super hard in finding something that can help me
I stopped using dove bar soap when I discovered that it technically isn't ‘soap’ it's a beauty bar. Instead I use a anti-bacterial soap (dettol has a nice one) and use a base clean. Then I go in with a scented soap (dove or regular body wash) I use Dr bronner too however it's very pricy for a big bottle in the UK
@@taiwo9612 Pears! Not the original one though, the blue one however it still has Parfum but to me it’s not that strong. You can try Cerave products for an unscented, clean product.
PanOxyl is also a great product to use on underarms. It’s marketed to use on the face, but it’s formulated with benzoyl peroxide which is great for killing odor causing bacteria.
For 12 years I have been using white vinegar straight in a spray bottle. Some people mix the vinegar with water. & The vinegar smell disappears no odor . I am a large woman it works even in the summer & it's cheaper 5.00 for a gallon . Last a long time does not bother your clothing. It really works. Try it ladies
I had the same problem for years ,so I’m so glad you are talking about this problem. It is horrible to be a very cleanly person and have smelly pits. I too ,had tried every deodorant ,and soap , Botox, laser hair removal and nothing worked until I found Kinko deodorant and I take Ashwaganda supplements. I finally feel I got some control over this problem. I used Native but it does not work as well as Kinko. Kinko is expensive, but not really , because it has recused me from a life of embarrassing order. I do help this helps someone because when I was suffering, I felt helpless. Also I went to many doctors and was told your body chemistry is your body chemistry and they offered no help.
You are so correct about Dr. Bronner’s Peppermint soap & other products for that fresh, fresh base for everything else! Also, exfoliating washcloths are wonderful for daily use. Chlorophyll as a supplement is great too!
Ma'am... I came across this video searching for ways to combat underarm odor. Then I watched a few more of your videos, subscribed, and now I'm BINGING your channel! I love your whole vibe. I got my face skincare down pat this year and have been wanting to learn more about body care. Your delivery is so fresh and it feels like a best friend is giving me advice and awesome recommendations! I've been suffering from mad depression and you've inspired me to get back on the self care train. Please don't ever stop doing what you're doing. I'm rooting for 100k for you! Much love 💯💕❤
as someone that sweats really heavy when I’m stress or nervous. This rlly helped me because my underarms would be smelling bad and it’s so embarrassing around being other people. So ty
The aztec clay mask mix with apple cider vingar helps to detox your arm pits. Also a natural deodorant called kopari CBD Deodorant works that's extra strength in green and white bottle, you can get from ultra they also have one that's charcoal deodorant
I was just put onto taking a magnesium tablet to help with the strong under arm smell. Apparently some people have a deficiency that causes strong under arm smell. This has also helped with my menstrual migraine. It's been a huge help so far.
@@staceyb1407 I got the one mentioned above from Trader Joes: Magnesium 200mg tablets. Since then I've done more research and purchased the following from Amazon: Terranics Magnesium Complex, 500mg, 120 Veg Capsules Chelated for Max Absorption, Support Sleep Stress & Anxiety Relief, Muscle Relaxation Recovery
Thanks for the video! I’m a petite woman that sweats profusely. I’ve tried Native, and I thought my wait was over. Unfortunately, Native causes deodorant burn and rashes for people with sensitive skin like mine. My last go around was the worse. It took a trip to the dermatologist and 2 months to clear up. Native is great, but if you notice a rash, STOP 🛑 right away.
Im so glad i saw this comment, I’ve been using native after not using it for a while and immediately noticed rashes under my arms and have never had them before. I wouldn’t say my skin is sensitive but man i dont know what happened. I have to reapply it so many times during the day
I use natural black soap on my arm pits. I also use the Tree Hut Scrub under my arms as well. I am not picky whick one. It really does help to remove the wax build up from the stick deodorants.
Ash thank you for this video and for being open about armpit odor, some of us find it embarrassing to even talk about such things ,thanks for your encouragement and helpful information keep up the great work you are doing 🥰🥰
I personally love the Secret Clinical Defense. You have to damn near scrub your armpit off to remove it, but that joint works! Sweat proof and odor proof times 10
Thank you so much Ash. I got everything from the video. That you recommended. And it's working so far. I love your channel. I do not miss a episode. Keep doing what you doing. You are truly a God send.
Hi Ash, happy to see you address an issue thst is "real!" I have struggled 30 years plus with this. I can help! Natural remedies sames to work best. Years ago I came across a video on youtube. Instructions are- 3 (large) garlic cloves to one leamon (important- lime will not work), and not Myers lemon, orginal no "cross-breed). Grind cloves and add to a container with lemon. Leave in container' 8 hours minimum. At night, take a cotton ball and apply solution to a clean and dry armpit. Make sure to rub the entire area. Note that the odor from the solution will dissipate. YOU DO NOT NEED TO USE A DEODERANT, also, exfoliating can cause irritation while using the solution. Extremely important: always clean the armpit with an antibacterial soap. This is as important as the solution. After a while, you would be able to go 3 to 5 days without applying solution. However, never stop using the antibacterial soap. I USE DETTOL (only the original-yellow). This is guaranteed to work! Also, this is not related to the remdey, but it will help! Those of us that has this issue, can wear breathable tops only. Cotton, linen, pure silk, viscose etc. A blend of these will also work. Stay away from them twins- Poly and Ester!
Watched your video 2 months ago and rushed to the store to buy some glycolic acid. I just wanted to comeback and say THANK YOU so much ! You saved meee Glycolic acid is a game changer! No smell anymore and it even lightened my armpits. It doesn’t stop the sweating so I also bought the donna karan deodorant and really glycolic acid+donna karan wheeew girl 🔥 but if you don’t mind sweating you can really go without deodorant Glycolic acid is the truth i swear Thanks to everybody in the comment section as well for sharing your tips and routines, i need to try that chlorophyll as well now lol
Girl I’m so bad at wearing sunscreen. I’ve been wanting to get black girl sunscreen for so long. Thanks Ash. Next time I go to target I’m getting it period. I’ll report back.
My teenagers were having all kinds of under arm odors, my daughters armpits turned dark etc, the dermatologist suggested taking an actual bath with Epsom salts. It’s like $5 for a giant bag and it only takes 1 cup per bath. It draws out imperfections. Also my daughter had success with the clinical version of deodorant bc it keeps you drier and it’s bacteria that causes the smell.
Here's a simple, inexpensive and effective approach. My friend told me about it - I tried it and it works! Use lime juice. Just cut a lime and us a half as deodorant after each shower or bath. It is not an antiperspirant, but as long as you put it on immediately after shower or bath twice a day - underarm odor gone like magic. try it and let us know.
I do a underarm detox 1-2x a month. Calcium Bentonite Clay + ACV(not right after a shave). Let dry, rinse clean. Keep hair minimal to non existent. When you clean under your arms in the shower, scrub from side to side vs. up & down. I like to gently use my fingernails, you will notice that add'l odor comes out and the pits will be truly cleansed after a few times of doing it this way! Stress is #1 cause I've noticed in my own body of under arm odor. Because I bathe 2-3x a day. That Dr. B's bar soap is BOMB, totally agree. Also the Kirk's Coco Castille bar soap is excellent option as well, and inexpensive. I love the original and the aloe the best. I use my scented gels and cleaners after I've gotten the main cleaning done. That cheap arm & hammer Essentials deodorant is my go-to. I just roll it on, let it dry for a few minutes, then hit it with a very light dusting of a spray deodorant or light powder. You will be set!
I wished I would have learned about these tips years ago. I’ve used everything kind of deodorants and nothing worked for my sweaty arms and I will try these products to see if they will help me.
Try an armpit detox (apple cider vinegar and bentonite clay) and a natural deodorant (you could even make your own). If you still have a problem, check your diet. I have found that I don't have to deal with underarm odor if I don't eat meat regularly.
I feel like dove just adds moisture without properly cleaning, and their deodorants does nothing for me. I love mitchum deodorant but it make my armpits dark 🥴
Their spray on deodorant is my fav scent and I feel it helps with the odour. Give it ago. It smells very fresh and imo does not smell like a typical deodorant like their other products

I had a friend who told me her mom used to make a paste using baking soda and used to put in on their armpits when they were little and now she doesn’t even use deodorant. She never had odor. Also I used my cerave face wash once on my pits I like to use it to help with body acne and I noticed I didn’t smell .
I just wanted to say that you have changed my life. I only found you maybe two weeks ago, but I can't thank you enough for these tips and tricks. Seriously, LIFE CHANGING. THANK YOU!!!!
Ladies, if you use antiperspirant an excellent way to remove it in the shower is to use a apricot face scrub under your arms. It exfoliates and removes any antiperspirants. I've been doing it for years, It works!
Thank you, for sharing one of the most important jewels everyone should learn, before learning how to tie their shoes. Afterall, a female's body goes through many challenges through a lifespan and many of us were never properly taught. Again, I say thank you! Keep up the good work! I dealt with this issue once for about a year, before I really understood, 'You are what you eat!' Anywho, I said that to say this: When injusting sugar and meats (beef, pork, etc.) they have a tendency of creating this weird smell in your bowels, which will come through your pores with perspiration from our body. Just like alcohol. People who drink alcohol, eventually the smell will seep through their pores not only from their breath. Therefore, I highly recommend this to help level your PH balance: Drink plenty of water; cleanse your body thoroughly (along with everything that you mentioned), using white cloths (only twice weekly), then get a fresh one. Always use a separate cloth for your face (cleaning the cloth thoroughly in-between use); and do a slight dietary change as well. Hope these added tips help, in more ways than one, to really maintain great personal hygiene, much love!
I find doing a mask on my armpits before I shower really helps and also letting the dr bronners soap soak in a bit as well for a few minutes before scrubbing!
Thank you! I’ve never been a smelly person, but recently I’ve noticed my armpits are smelling so bad. I’ve been waking up sweating and smelling 😭 I feel like each year my body throws something new at me lol. At 25 I started feeling nauseous before my period. At 26 I got stinky armpits 😔
I’ve had the same issue in the past. Even my armpits began leaving stains in my tops. I then stopped eating red meat- no burgers, steak, lamb, etc. and that worked. I can even go without deodorant for days at a time. In all I don’t eat beef, any other type of red meat, pork, or seafood. I do drink a lot of water 2-4 liters per day.
I have to soak in the tub for at least 10 minutes before my shower. It seems extreme but if I don't my armpits could kill. Main scrub in the tub second scrub in the shower. Everyday. 25 minutes total
Also if you wet your arm pits and let the soap sit under your armpits for a while while you wash the rest of your body when u first get in the shower that helps as well…dial gold antibacterial soap helps as well.
I had this problem too. I’ve tried a lot of the products mentioned in the video to no avail. I finally started using head and shoulders or any zinc based dandruff shampoo to wash my armpits & dove 48 hr deodorant & voila…finally odor free. Thank God!
You just put me on! Ever since my last pregnancy I noticed my arm pits started smelling more and ever since I've had that issue. The whole shower oil thing and chia scrub thing!! Girrrlll thank you!
Thanks for sharing. I have had laser hair removal under arms and don’t need to shave for 10 years. Please note, Glycolic toner does not cause chemical burns for many people. I use it at nightly. No problems because my underarms are not being abraded.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! For posting this video. I sweat heavily and have constantly dealt with odor and it seems like nothing would work. I purchased 2 items you suggested: Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Soap Bar, and Native Deodorant (Lavender scent). When I tell you I smell AMAZING!!! OMG!! I feel fresh and the freshness does not go away it stayed that way all day! I am highly satisfied with these products. Thank you for this post!
@@ilovebabyyoda712 I understand your worry. They have recently changed some ingredients but works the same ! It’s just depending on how sensitive you are
Thanks for making this video. For those of us who have discovered we suddenly awake having experienced a "night sweat" from just sleeping - your video was very inspiring.
If you really want to get rid of underarm odor, its caused by a bacteria on the skin. My Asian mom showed me at a young age to carry antibacterial moist wipes or alcohol wipes ( those that are individually packed ) and use it when you have underarm odor.
Thank you so much for this video I have been so embarrassed when someone would say I stink and now everyone keeps complimenting me on how good I smell so thank you so much I love your videos
For so long I was a dove girl, until I realized it makes me sweat more now I switched to Dial soap and the Walmart peppermint body wash it helps tremendously.
Removing hair does help with odor control and making a natural turmeric scrub with coconut oil and sugar will exfoliate and lighten your arm pits. Add a few drops of essential oils like tea tree, lavender or lemon grass. Gave me amazing results but do your own research. You have to try different things and learn what your body loves through trial and errors.
Personally I am not okay with sweating even if it doesn’t have an odor, especially when I am in school and wearing a light colored shirt, I get really self conscious about it. The Secret 48 Hr clear gel deodorant does WONDERS!!!! Absolutely amazing. It does have aluminum unfortunately, however I NEVER sweat after using it, even a day later! And they have SOO many different scents. 💛
Thank you for the suggestions! I feel like I have tried and wasted money on so many products over the last couple of years. It seems like after I turned 40 yrs old, my hormone balance is all out of wack, but I’ve noticed only an issue with my underarms. Deodorants I used to wear before with no issue, and without it wearing off does not work at all now. I’ve tried Schmidt’s, Native, Lume, changed my diet, drink only water and add lemon, cucumber and lime, nothing has changed for my underarms, and matter of fact, it’s made the odor worst it seems. So Im crossing my fingers for a few of the suggestions from you and what people have commented.
Use lime juice. Just cut a lime and us a half as deodorant. It is not an antiperspirant, but as long as you put it on immediately after shower or bath twice a day - underarm odor gone like magic. try it and let us know.
I like lume and carpe...carpe seems better to me tho...most of these items you named I get from Amazon so thanks...always looking for new self care items Also a tip I like is I put my outfit with a favorite dryer sheet in the dry...it keeps your fragrance in longer You wanna amp it I will spray my fragrance on the dryer sheet and put in the dryer Also scented oils are great in making fragrances last longer
I love Lume products. I am menopausal and nothing was working for me. I saw their advertisement on Facebook and so I tried. Best purchase I have made in a long time.
Some people stop smelling after stopping using soap. Soap strips the bacteria balance and that's why we smell worse. You will go through a 2-3 week adjustment phase after which you will start smelling way less. You can still exfoliate and wash away the dirt/dead skin, but no soap.
The DrBronners bar soap is the truth!!! I use that as a base clean as well!…. Gurllll you talking the truth!!! I have the Donna Karen deodorant as well, and I Love it! Plus their perfume and lotion 😊💕
I use glycolic acid daily, and it works wonders..I don't even use deodorant anymore...there's literally no scent under my arms at all...I love this stuff
Bathed often and change certain foods that you eat. Coffee for some women can cause fowl odor.Try drinking apple cider vinegar with water. And what about your body chemistry.
I do a armpit detox once a week with Aztec healing clay from Amazon and then use lemon juice from organic lemons and I have no body odor whatsoever ! Highly recommend 😁
I tried different deodorants and natural products over the years. The one thing that worked for me was getting Botox for my armpits. After that I haven’t had anymore problems with sweating.
Please be careful with Botox. You are injecting botulism toxin that can cause major health issues in the long term. I encourage you to do some research on this.
A method that I use for sweaty armpits is using a stick deodorant and then spraying a spray on deodorant on top of that. The only flaw with this method is that it does leave white residue but other than that you wont sweat as much if not at all with this method. It also doesn’t leave any sweat stains on white shirts. Ofc everyone is different but hopefully this method can help someone ☺️
I agree with Dr. Bronners. This soap really works all over. Do not dilute, you will get used to the tingling. It also leaves my skin feeling very soft and clean.
Dr bronners with the dove refreshing scent. It’s the cucumber one. I use the refreshing dove spray deo too. It’s the best spray deo that I have found. Lume is the best stick/cream.
I’m also a sweaty girl who is in menopause (😡) lives in Florida (🥵) and NOTHING works for me either! 🤬 Transitioning to natural deodorant is a dance back and forth that’s for sure. Thank you for the suggestions, I will definitely shop your links! You are a beautiful young lady! Be well!
I never believe that I will be cured permanently from Tmau disease after using all kinds of body wash 🧴 and some treatment there was no solution. After using herbal medicine from Dr.Auchi on UA-cam channel for 3 weeks I was cure permanently from Tmau disease 🦠 without having it back again. I’m forever grateful to you sir…🙏🏻🙏🏻
dial gold antibacterial bar works good to kill under arm pit smell, don't put it on your private or inside the vajay, but under belly, under rolls, feet, neck, back it cuts the grease on your skin. you just have to moisturize afterwards.
I've been making my own natural deodorant for 20+ years. I can't use baking soda so I had to search for alternatives. Magnesium hydroxide is the replacement. If you find plain milk of magnesia with not a lot of additives, should be 3 the most, you can use it as a deodorant. You can also use diaper rash cream with zinc oxide, just add a butter/oil to make it more spreadable. I also make my own natural bar soap, using similar ingredients as Dr. Bronners, cleans great.
This is gold. Just tried the sudocrem and it works! I added coconut oil, not smell or wet underarms so far. I’m a super heavy sweater and I just did rounds at the mall. Thank you for this hack!
try half of a lime. if you're caked up OR if underarms just on onions. you could also use salt along with this to exfoliate the area. so after the swirling of the lime leave on for about 5-7 mins, wash off and tada!!! Do not do this if you've just shaved, baby you will see god. and no need to do daily this but once a month is good.
Lots of times smelling bad is due to excessive sweating. I know because i had that same problem. I started using certain dri and that has helped significantly.. I've tried lots and lots of products and that's been the best solution this far. It is not a deodorant though so you can apply something for that. Most ppl do but i find it doesn't really work for me but i think as long as you reapply certain dri as directed you're good.
I was watching a video last night and the suggestion by the Dr was to make sure you use a washcloth or whatever you’re using to bathe with to wash your armpits properly, not only the soap. Next, use rubbing alcohol to wipe under your armpits before applying your deodorant.
let me give you a virtual hug! I’m so ready to try this. My goal is to look and smell good. Therefore I will feel good, I’m still a teen so I’m thankful to be getting amazing advice. I love this app
That was me after menopause started. I came across a commercial for Lume’s body care, and thanks God that was the solution for my stinky underarm problem.
Hi Ash, I use cerave SA cleanser (its the clear gell) on my armpits and I scrub away. My next step is wash my body with dove antibacterial bar soap. I then rinse and start to wash with CeraVe Body Wash with Salicylic Acid | Fragrance Free Body Wash. I then use Native deodorant. It took a couple of days to for the deodorant to work 100%. I thought I wouuld share and encourage anyone to use the products and hopefully it will work out for them. God Bless.
Coming back into this as I enter the late 40s. It’s annoying to start smelling 30 minutes of showering. I agree with the glycolic acid, I found it too strong for my face but wiping it down a few times a week on the pits helps reduce this. It is an annoying nuisance even when showering 2x/day
I use that Ordinary Glycolic acid on my feet right out of the shower. I rub Vaseline on afterwards and my feet have been so soft. It was a little harsh for my face too.
What worked for me, I stopped using regular deodorant. It seems like regular deodorant gets stuck under your arm causing even more odor. I had to detox my underarm for a month using clay masks mixed with water and apple cider vinegar. I would wash with either a pine tar soap, dr. Bonners Soap, an antibacterial soap or all 3 at times. Then I would wipe under my arms with witch hazel and then I would apply some of the crystal stick mineral deodorant (the stick lasts for about 2 years). After about a month, I didn’t have to use the clay masks anymore and could just wash regularly using one of the soaps that I mentioned and then I apply the witch hazel and crystal stick deodorant. I’ve been doing it this way for years and it has treated me right. I can even skip a day. 👀🤷🏾♀️. Also, once you start using natural deodorants, please don’t flip flop and go back to regular deodorants, if you do, you will have to start the underarm detox all over again! If I am extremely sweaty, currently in menopause, I just tap a little cornstarch under my arms and it helps absorb the sweat. Also, shaving can cause razor burn after a while. Be careful. I suggest waxing. Also, I find those sugar scrubs to harsh for my underarms. You just need a light exfoliant, like a Dove exfoliant body wash or the exfoliating glove. You will want to rub lightly, because the skin under your arms is delicate. I hope with all of the suggestions, everyone can find a routine that works for them! ❤
A dermatologist told my daughter to use Hibiclens for underarms. And to stop using deodorant because she was getting rashes. It works, no odor, no more deodorant. We buy it at Target.
You can also soak your armpits with warm soapy towels and let it sit for a few minutes to pull out the bacteria that causes the odor, then rinse in ice cold water to close the pores. Then apply a mild antiperspirant, like dove. Let that sit for a few minutes and gets it activated by your body heat. Then wipe it off with a clean paper towel. Just try it!
Great video. I loved Native deodorant but after 3 weeks I developed a terrible reaction/rash. I now use Hey Humans, been using it for over 5 months now, no issues or adverse reactions.
I use to be OBSESSED with not having body odor. I would shower 2-3 times a day and wash my body 5 times each time and then I would load my underarms with deodorant. Then about ten years ago, my underarms became badly clogged and infected. I had to get my sweat glands and hair follicles removed. I was then recommended by my Dr office to change my routine and products. After many products and years I now use a tea tree oil and mint wash to kill bacteria, I use lever soap, and then I use my fragrant shower gels. Luckily, I don't have to shave or use deodorant because I no longer grow hair or sweat. However, i will occasionally use deodorant just for the smell but not regularly.
OMG 😳 did i do this to myself? I’ve been using coconut oil all over my body after I shower and it’s been fine but suddenly just about a week ago i had thus foul underarm smell ! I do use all natural deodorant but the oil might be the reason? Omg i’m heart broken 😞
@@neatkitten Awe, its okay. If you think its the oil, then stop for a couple weeks and see if you notice a difference. We don't realize the harm we do to ourselves with all these products especially when we mix and match and use so many.
I love the whole Pacifica line I use the coconut cream body wash, oil, soufflé and lotion( that's my night time body care). I'm going to try the under arm charcoal..they have it on amazon I jus added it to my cart ❤️
Thank you...I'm 13 and I'm starting to get body oder, so im trying to study videos in how to keep myself clean as a young lady.💗☺
great initiative...proud of u (even if idk you)
you've got this girl, good on you for starting young! never stop putting time and care into yourself, when you look good/smell good/eat good, you're gonna feel good ❤️
Go to dermatologist
So awesome
you’re already off to a great start (with you watching vids) - you got this!
When she said "I cannot find a deodorant that works for me" I felt that!!! I'm struggling with this right now.😪
Started using the donna karan. Expensive as hell but works. I use thayers witch hazel bar soap as well. Helps wonders
I started using mens old spice vanilla notes....n omg that sh*t smells so good and last all day...like that's all I smell throughout the day
Me too!😞

@@andrilgreen768 try the mens old spice oasis with Vanilla notes it does wonders for me all day
You’re the only person who’s given actual tips that can help people with hyperhidrosis and stress/anxiety sweat. A lot of people don’t understand that it’s not always as simple as using deodorant or antiperspirant. Thank you!
Yeah I sweat when I'm anxious and stress especially under my arm pit..
I have this
Yes I just now started going through this and it's really annoying that my own teachers and peers look at me funny when I have body order. Because I can't help that. Their always saying "put on deodorant". I've used clinical strength deodorant, dove, degree, secret, I've even tried men's deodorant but nothing helps. They don't understand how difficult it is to manage body oder under the armpits with excessive sweat. Especially during the summer time.
@@bella50008 I will definitely be trying this when I get home.
Came across this on accident. Thank you sweetie. My son is 21 and he has this issue. Can't wait to tell him.
Dermatology RN here 👋🏽 if you’re having an issue with underarm odor, wash your armpits with panoxyl (benzoyl peroxide) once a day!
#nursegang
It's works! But once I stopped using the panoxyl and used a regular dove body wash I realized that the unde arm oder came back so im never leaving my panoxyl☺☺☺
@@Miaalovesya Maybe try leaving the panoxyl on your pits for 2-3 mins in the shower. Also consult
a dermatologist, you may be dealing with hyperhidrosis. Im not a professional but it's just a guess.
@@stayinghomewithkristen6756 baking soda DOES work but it IRRITATES, ME! Which sucked because I was making a deodorant with it and I was smelling nice AND my pits were getting lighter and brighter then the irritation from the baking soda and now it’s heeled but caused hyperpigmentation smh if only baking soda didn’t irritate me.
Thank you
I used to have a really bad body odor even though I followed all of the basic hygiene practices. It was so bad that I was known as the smelly kid in my school. One day, my english teacher pulled my desk outside of the classroom and made me take the class like that for the rest of the school year. I was utterly HUMILIATED. Now as an adult, I'm known for smelling good. I get complimented at least once a day on my scent.
Here is my advice:
1) When you shower, always finish off with lukewarm to cold water. A lot of us smell bad because we take hot showers and that heat is making us sweat! You won't feel it because your whole body is wet. If you're a naturally sweaty person, you know that your sweat doesn't immediately stop even if you go into a cool place. It takes a few minutes. Now imagine being in a hot shower, already sweating for a few minutes, then get out of the shower, and put on deodorant. It's not going to work. Since you're already sweating, the deodorant is just going to slide off. Even if you wiped your armpit dry before putting on the deodorant, it's still not going to work because you're already in active sweat mode. Also, when you're sweating and you out on deodorant, it wipes off on your clothes and becomes a magnet for your dirt, sweat, oils etc. Even if you do a thorough job washing your clothes, there will always be a residue because deodorant is very waxy. Over time, it cakes up and builds up on the armpit of your clothes. Even if you take a good shower, wear deodorant and wear freshly washed clothes, you can still stick. Once the heat of your body touches the armpit of your clothes, it softens the waxy residue of old deodorant, and it will cause an odor. You need to spend the last few minutes in the shower on cool water, so you can stop the active sweating and rinse out any other sweat.
2) Wipe your armpits completely dry before putting on deodorant. If your armpit is damp, the deodorant will slide off.
3) Use antiperspirant. If the deodorant doesn't have, antiperspirant on the label, then there is no point. You're probably going to smell.
4) At least once a week, I rub lemon juice on my armpit. It's a natural armpit detox. Sometimes, while I rub the lemon on my armpit, I can smell the sweat getting stronger because it's pulling the odor out! I don't do it too often because it can irritate my armpit. *Edit* I no longer do this. Instead of lemon, I use the PanOxyl Foaming Acne Wash. It has 10% benzoyl peroxide. It's not about the specific product. It's the benzoyl peroxide. BABY! When I tell you it will wipe out all odors. I especially love to use it on my bikini line when I am on my period. It wipes out all odor. Just don't do it too much or it will dry out your skin. Lemon is still good, but this is better.
5) When applying deodorant, use a stick deodorant followed by a spray deodorant. For some reason, it just works!
6) If I have a long day, I reapply my deodorant, but before I do, I use a wet wipe to clean up everything. Then use a napkin to dry my armpits off completely before I reapply a new layer.
thanks ik going through this rn.... I'm doing everything but I'm still the smelly kid 😭
Thank you for this! I’m so sorry you went through this!!! What a terrible teacher !!
Thank you so much for this!! I'm so sorry you went through that, that was humiliating.
@@oingoboiingo hi, did it get better for you?
God blesssssss!
When I started drinking more water, I noticed my body odor completely rid itself. I barely can smell myself anymore it’s great! Loved the video for the tips too!
Yes! And add chlorophyll to it.
Yup. I totally agree. I'm glad you said this. There are people who don't practice this.
Me too! I can tell when I drink alcohol- p-u!!
Agreed!!
Yes I agree I've never had underarm odor. I've always drank water alot of water my whole life. My daughter even asked me how I don't have stretch marks and I had seven children. I took great care of my body from a young young age. I had one of those mothers that told the truth the harse truth. She use to run me out of the bathroom. Ive gone back to me teachings because all of these new ways to stay clean and fresh don't work at all. When taking care of your body what you but in the inside shows on the outside believe me I know. I never drank never used any kind of drugs I don't wear make up at all. Good for you in drinking more water.
People assume that you have poor hygiene if you sweet excessively. I understand trying every type of deodorant and prescribed creams with zero results.
For my fellow HS sufferers - or anyone who happens to read this. I use sensitive dove wash twice daily for my underarms and 10% Glycolic acid toner from Good Molecules 4-5x/week. Since using the glycolic acid, I have had ZERO use for deodorant other than for the fresh scent, but I typically don't use anything. What glycolic acid does is not only helps exfoliate the top layers of skin, but it also lowers the PH of your skin. When your skin's PH is lowered, it makes it a hostile environment for bacteria to thrive. This means there are fewer bacteria to break down the thioalcohol and yeast build-up from your sweat glands and skin. Thioalcohols contain sulfur and when it decomposes it's released causing the odor. It also helps with the HS by giving our tracts less chance of bacteria entering and causing a flare-up. I have been using this method for close to 6 months now and I have had only two flares of 2-3 nodes as opposed to it happening monthly with 4-5 in each underarm. Granted I have moderate HS but it's calmed down to a very mild case and I attribute it solely to the glycolic acid.
Good idea. I noticed since, I am now in perimenopause my underarm gets stained and I have some blackheads in my pores. I tried using epiduo but it ended up burning me. So I will give this a try. Thanks.
OH where did you buy it?
@@Imnotnaked Thanks so much.💜
Hi. Genuine question.... what does HS mean?
@@laluna9909 Hidradenitis suppurativa. It's an auto-inflammatory illness. With HS, our bodies produce too many inflammatory proteins, including TNF-alpha. This imbalance leads to increased inflammation throughout the body. People with HS also tend to have arthritis and asthma ( I have all three ) . This increased inflammation affects the deep layers of the skin, causing pressure that builds and becomes abscesses. ( Or just long tracks of tunnels of infection under the skin that constantly drain) Women are 3x more likely to get it than men and there is a genetic link. It has nothing to do with poor hygiene, it's not contagious and it's not an STD. The nodules/infections are EXTREMELY painful and we are constantly at war with our bodies. Depending on where the infections are, and how severe they are it can cause disability/inability to function in daily activities or have quality of life.
I love this video! I can’t stand to see hygiene routines from people who don’t deal with sweat/odor. I’ve always been a heavy sweater, and swear by Dr Bronners, and Dial deodorant soap for my armpits. I use Certain Dri deodorant at night, and either a dry spray or Donna Karan deodorant during the day. I still have to reapply in the afternoon, but I finally found a routine that works.
Where'd you get Donna Karan deodorant from? I'm old school and I still wear that brand like it's the 90's lol.
@@blacknbougie8021 Macy’s!
@@Marcie_does_it oh thank you!
Dr bonnets peppermint soap bar is great. I use that in the summer. It helps with odor. Very minty.
Cool, I'll keep this in mind to try. Have you tryed a Benzoyl Peroxide wash? Dr. Dray has said it's great to use in one of her videos for a few minutes on the armpits like a mask, wash off and continue w deodorant. I wash with a basic bar soap like Dove first, wash off, and then use the Panoxyl Benzoyl Peroxide for a few mins, wash off, and continue with my routine. Works pretty well so far.
One thing I like doing before hopping in the shower is putting a little oil on the armpits. Any oil works. It helps with lifting the deodorant and making it much easier to clean off. Like what you would do with makeup.
So helpful! 🙏🏼❤️
Thank you for this
What kinda oil
@@lhelaw1wibertytyoung245 body oils like jojoba, argan, or coconut could work! (Haven't tried it yet but I'm assuming those ones would be safe)
I don’t do the oil but I wash my armpits twice for this same reason. Got rid of my smell issues.
I started adding 2 tablespoons of chlorophyll to 8 oz of water and drink daily about 5 yrs ago, and BAM armpit odor gone! It’s holy grail! I love the way Cashmere Mist smells though ☺️
This has helped me too but took a few weeks to start working. So for people who have tried and didn't get immediate results keep talking it.
BAAABY EVERYBODY is sleeping on liquid chlorophyll!!! It does take a few weeks to get the full affect but itis soooo WORTH IT!!!

That’s actually a great tip! 💗
I never thought to do this. Thank you.
Great tip!!! Spray deodorants are also good for this too.
Ty
How to disinfect it ? Please tell me.
I realised using to warm water makes body sweat and smell. I spent 3 weeks in tropical country and was washing only with cold water, and miraculously no body odour. There is something with the chlorine hot water that makes my body sweat.I recommend using cold or lukewarm water to clean body it works
This is great advice❤️
I am always in constant fear about how I have BO in my underarms I felt super ashamed because I felt like nothing worked but I’m glad I’m not the only one who struggles in finding something that’s works and I’m glad I found this video it makes me want to work super hard in finding something that can help me
Have you found a solution?
I stopped using dove bar soap when I discovered that it technically isn't ‘soap’ it's a beauty bar. Instead I use a anti-bacterial soap (dettol has a nice one) and use a base clean. Then I go in with a scented soap (dove or regular body wash) I use Dr bronner too however it's very pricy for a big bottle in the UK
Dove came out with anti-bacteria bar soap and it has worked wonders for me.
You got any antibacterial soaps without strong scents? Most of the ones I got smell like chemicals
Hey girl If the dr. Bonners is too pricey for you go to Walmart and get the equate brand “pure Castile soap” it’s cheaper and pretty much the same
@@BriMichelle024 we don’t have Walmart in the UK :( but I’m sure there are other alternatives somewhere. Thank you though 💫
@@taiwo9612 Pears! Not the original one though, the blue one however it still has Parfum but to me it’s not that strong. You can try Cerave products for an unscented, clean product.
PanOxyl is also a great product to use on underarms. It’s marketed to use on the face, but it’s formulated with benzoyl peroxide which is great for killing odor causing bacteria.
Very true. I’ve been using PanOxyl under my arms about 1 or 2x a week for a few months now and I can definitely notice the improvement!
Hi do you just apply the product? Or do you have to rinse It off.
@@Pinesol605 you use it like a soap scrub your underarms with it and then rinse it off
Anybody know anything about itchy underarms
Does it have to be panoxyl or any benzoyl peroxide?
For 12 years I have been using white vinegar straight in a spray bottle. Some people mix the vinegar with water. & The vinegar smell disappears no odor . I am a large woman it works even in the summer & it's cheaper 5.00 for a gallon . Last a long time does not bother your clothing. It really works. Try it ladies
Will try this, thank you.
Any kind of white vinegar? Do you rinse it off? Do you still use deodorant afterwards?
I find one thing that helps is drinking plenty water, it helps flush out toxins especially if you eat spicy foods.
I had the same problem for years ,so I’m so glad you are talking about this problem. It is horrible to be a very cleanly person and have smelly pits. I too ,had tried every deodorant ,and soap , Botox, laser hair removal and nothing worked until I found Kinko deodorant and I take Ashwaganda supplements. I finally feel I got some control over this problem. I used Native but it does not work as well as Kinko. Kinko is expensive, but not really , because it has recused me from a life of embarrassing order. I do help this helps someone because when I was suffering, I felt helpless. Also I went to many doctors and was told your body chemistry is your body chemistry and they offered no help.
Yes it is demoralizing and emotionally painful. Awesome that people are sharing their tips with others!
Where do you buy it?
I had added kinko to my cart but no delivery to Canada 🇨🇦 😩😩😩 over here being a mess , was excited about trying it but damn
Where can I get dat kinko and it's at how much pliz help
You are so correct about Dr. Bronner’s Peppermint soap & other products for that fresh, fresh base for everything else! Also, exfoliating washcloths are wonderful for daily use.
Chlorophyll as a supplement is great too!

Thanks for the video! I’m a petite woman that sweats profusely. I’ve tried Native, and I thought my wait was over. Unfortunately, Native causes deodorant burn and rashes for people with sensitive skin like mine. My last go around was the worse. It took a trip to the dermatologist and 2 months to clear up. Native is great, but if you notice a rash, STOP 🛑 right away.
Thanks for sharing 😍
Im so glad i saw this comment, I’ve been using native after not using it for a while and immediately noticed rashes under my arms and have never had them before. I wouldn’t say my skin is sensitive but man i dont know what happened. I have to reapply it so many times during the day
Native gave me a rash also that sort of turned to be a dark spot it’s cleared up but I do not recommend Native at all
@@Ameliazee I can relate, it took so long to get the dark spots to clear up.
I’m so happy I added body scrub to my under arms routine. It scrubs away everything.
I use natural black soap on my arm pits. I also use the Tree Hut Scrub under my arms as well. I am not picky whick one. It really does help to remove the wax build up from the stick deodorants.

Thank you so much Ash. I got everything from the video. That you recommended. And it's working so far. I love your channel. I do not miss a episode. Keep doing what you doing. You are truly a God send.
LiVing Ash pls can u add the names below
Hi Ash, happy to see you address an issue thst is "real!" I have struggled 30 years plus with this. I can help! Natural remedies sames to work best. Years ago I came across a video on youtube. Instructions are- 3 (large) garlic cloves to one leamon (important- lime will not work), and not Myers lemon, orginal no "cross-breed). Grind cloves and add to a container with lemon. Leave in container' 8 hours minimum. At night, take a cotton ball and apply solution to a clean and dry armpit. Make sure to rub the entire area. Note that the odor from the solution will dissipate.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO USE A DEODERANT, also, exfoliating can cause irritation while using the solution.
Extremely important: always clean the armpit with an antibacterial soap. This is as important as the solution. After a while, you would be able to go 3 to 5 days without applying solution. However, never stop using the antibacterial soap. I USE DETTOL (only the original-yellow). This is guaranteed to work!
Also, this is not related to the remdey, but it will help!
Those of us that has this issue, can wear breathable tops only. Cotton, linen, pure silk, viscose etc. A blend of these will also work. Stay away from them twins- Poly and Ester!
Watched your video 2 months ago and rushed to the store to buy some glycolic acid. I just wanted to comeback and say THANK YOU so much ! You saved meee
Glycolic acid is a game changer! No smell anymore and it even lightened my armpits. It doesn’t stop the sweating so I also bought the donna karan deodorant and really glycolic acid+donna karan wheeew girl 🔥 but if you don’t mind sweating you can really go without deodorant
Glycolic acid is the truth i swear
Thanks to everybody in the comment section as well for sharing your tips and routines, i need to try that chlorophyll as well now lol
Girl I’m so bad at wearing sunscreen. I’ve been wanting to get black girl sunscreen for so long. Thanks Ash. Next time I go to target I’m getting it period. I’ll report back.
My teenagers were having all kinds of under arm odors, my daughters armpits turned dark etc, the dermatologist suggested taking an actual bath with Epsom salts. It’s like $5 for a giant bag and it only takes 1 cup per bath. It draws out imperfections. Also my daughter had success with the clinical version of deodorant bc it keeps you drier and it’s bacteria that causes the smell.
Here's a simple, inexpensive and effective approach. My friend told me about it - I tried it and it works! Use lime juice. Just cut a lime and us a half as deodorant after each shower or bath. It is not an antiperspirant, but as long as you put it on immediately after shower or bath twice a day - underarm odor gone like magic. try it and let us know.
Lemon juice in a spray bottle works wonders for armpit odor too!
I do a underarm detox 1-2x a month. Calcium Bentonite Clay + ACV(not right after a shave). Let dry, rinse clean. Keep hair minimal to non existent. When you clean under your arms in the shower, scrub from side to side vs. up & down. I like to gently use my fingernails, you will notice that add'l odor comes out and the pits will be truly cleansed after a few times of doing it this way! Stress is #1 cause I've noticed in my own body of under arm odor. Because I bathe 2-3x a day. That Dr. B's bar soap is BOMB, totally agree. Also the Kirk's Coco Castille bar soap is excellent option as well, and inexpensive. I love the original and the aloe the best. I use my scented gels and cleaners after I've gotten the main cleaning done. That cheap arm & hammer Essentials deodorant is my go-to. I just roll it on, let it dry for a few minutes, then hit it with a very light dusting of a spray deodorant or light powder. You will be set!
I wished I would have learned about these tips years ago. I’ve used everything kind of deodorants and nothing worked for my sweaty arms and I will try these products to see if they will help me.
I really hope something can help!❤️❤️❤️
Try an armpit detox (apple cider vinegar and bentonite clay) and a natural deodorant (you could even make your own). If you still have a problem, check your diet. I have found that I don't have to deal with underarm odor if I don't eat meat regularly.
I feel like dove just adds moisture without properly cleaning, and their deodorants does nothing for me. I love mitchum deodorant but it make my armpits dark 🥴
Thank and it is so popular I thought I was the problem it really isnt worth the hype
Their spray on deodorant is my fav scent and I feel it helps with the odour. Give it ago. It smells very fresh and imo does not smell like a typical deodorant like their other products

@@danijelaleksi7130 You are so right 💯💯The pear scent is my VERY FAVORITE!!!
I had a friend who told me her mom used to make a paste using baking soda and used to put in on their armpits when they were little and now she doesn’t even use deodorant. She never had odor. Also I used my cerave face wash once on my pits I like to use it to help with body acne and I noticed I didn’t smell .
I just wanted to say that you have changed my life. I only found you maybe two weeks ago, but I can't thank you enough for these tips and tricks. Seriously, LIFE CHANGING. THANK YOU!!!!
You’re amazing! Thank you so much for coming back and letting me know🤍
Yes! Im a sweaty betty! And I will scrub the pits raw and I would still come out having my armpits smell. This is great! Thank you!
Ladies, if you use antiperspirant an excellent way to remove it in the shower is to use a apricot face scrub under your arms. It exfoliates and removes any antiperspirants. I've been doing it for years, It works!
Thank you, for sharing one of the most important jewels everyone should learn, before learning how to tie their shoes. Afterall, a female's body goes through many challenges through a lifespan and many of us were never properly taught. Again, I say thank you! Keep up the good work!
I dealt with this issue once for about a year, before I really understood, 'You are what you eat!'
Anywho, I said that to say this: When injusting sugar and meats (beef, pork, etc.) they have a tendency of creating this weird smell in your bowels, which will come through your pores with perspiration from our body.
Just like alcohol. People who drink alcohol, eventually the smell will seep through their pores not only from their breath.
Therefore, I highly recommend this to help level your PH balance: Drink plenty of water; cleanse your body thoroughly (along with everything that you mentioned), using white cloths (only twice weekly), then get a fresh one.
Always use a separate cloth for your face (cleaning the cloth thoroughly in-between use); and do a slight dietary change as well.
Hope these added tips help, in more ways than one, to really maintain great personal hygiene, much love!
I find doing a mask on my armpits before I shower really helps and also letting the dr bronners soap soak in a bit as well for a few minutes before scrubbing!
Thank you! I’ve never been a smelly person, but recently I’ve noticed my armpits are smelling so bad. I’ve been waking up sweating and smelling 😭 I feel like each year my body throws something new at me lol. At 25 I started feeling nauseous before my period. At 26 I got stinky armpits 😔
I’ve had the same issue in the past. Even my armpits began leaving stains in my tops. I then stopped eating red meat- no burgers, steak, lamb, etc. and that worked. I can even go without deodorant for days at a time. In all I don’t eat beef, any other type of red meat, pork, or seafood. I do drink a lot of water 2-4 liters per day.
I have to soak in the tub for at least 10 minutes before my shower. It seems extreme but if I don't my armpits could kill. Main scrub in the tub second scrub in the shower. Everyday. 25 minutes total
“ my armpits could kill “ well that’s .. different 😂
Also if you wet your arm pits and let the soap sit under your armpits for a while while you wash the rest of your body when u first get in the shower that helps as well…dial gold antibacterial soap helps as well.

I had this problem too. I’ve tried a lot of the products mentioned in the video to no avail. I finally started using head and shoulders or any zinc based dandruff shampoo to wash my armpits & dove 48 hr deodorant & voila…finally odor free. Thank God!
Period still looking for products
You just put me on! Ever since my last pregnancy I noticed my arm pits started smelling more and ever since I've had that issue. The whole shower oil thing and chia scrub thing!! Girrrlll thank you!
Yessss
Thanks for sharing. I have had laser hair removal under arms and don’t need to shave for 10 years. Please note, Glycolic toner does not cause chemical burns for many people. I use it at nightly. No problems because my underarms are not being abraded.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! For posting this video. I sweat heavily and have constantly dealt with odor and it seems like nothing would work. I purchased 2 items you suggested: Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Soap Bar, and Native Deodorant (Lavender scent). When I tell you I smell AMAZING!!! OMG!! I feel fresh and the freshness does not go away it stayed that way all day! I am highly satisfied with these products. Thank you for this post!
Dial's Antibacterial Deodorant Spring Water Bar Soap is the truth.
Sure is!
I have some of that, but scared to try it because I've heard Dial can break you out.
@@ilovebabyyoda712 I understand your worry. They have recently changed some ingredients but works the same ! It’s just depending on how sensitive you are
The gold one is life 🙌🏽
@@imchilling5628 I am sensitive but I could try it out and see.
With my anxiety and uniform I tend to sweat alot so this video helped me out as summer Is just round the corner ❤❤❤
Thanks for making this video. For those of us who have discovered we suddenly awake having experienced a "night sweat" from just sleeping - your video was very inspiring.
If you really want to get rid of underarm odor, its caused by a bacteria on the skin. My Asian mom showed me at a young age to carry antibacterial moist wipes or alcohol wipes ( those that are individually packed ) and use it when you have underarm odor.
Thank you so much for this video I have been so embarrassed when someone would say I stink and now everyone keeps complimenting me on how good I smell so thank you so much I love your videos
What’s the secret please?
@@lansberryangela82 I only used the Donna Karan Cashmere Mist and I smell amazing! It is on the pricey side but trust it’s sooooo good!!!
For so long I was a dove girl, until I realized it makes me sweat more now I switched to Dial soap and the Walmart peppermint body wash it helps tremendously.
Removing hair does help with odor control and making a natural turmeric scrub with coconut oil and sugar will exfoliate and lighten your arm pits. Add a few drops of essential oils like tea tree, lavender or lemon grass. Gave me amazing results but do your own research. You have to try different things and learn what your body loves through trial and errors.
Personally I am not okay with sweating even if it doesn’t have an odor, especially when I am in school and wearing a light colored shirt, I get really self conscious about it. The Secret 48 Hr clear gel deodorant does WONDERS!!!! Absolutely amazing. It does have aluminum unfortunately, however I NEVER sweat after using it, even a day later! And they have SOO many different scents. 💛
Thank you for the suggestions! I feel like I have tried and wasted money on so many products over the last couple of years. It seems like after I turned 40 yrs old, my hormone balance is all out of wack, but I’ve noticed only an issue with my underarms. Deodorants I used to wear before with no issue, and without it wearing off does not work at all now.
I’ve tried Schmidt’s, Native, Lume, changed my diet, drink only water and add lemon, cucumber and lime, nothing has changed for my underarms, and matter of fact, it’s made the odor worst it seems. So Im crossing my fingers for a few of the suggestions from you and what people have commented.
Use lime juice. Just cut a lime and us a half as deodorant. It is not an antiperspirant, but as long as you put it on immediately after shower or bath twice a day - underarm odor gone like magic. try it and let us know.
@@janicebwebster1 Thank you for that suggestion! I’m going to try that and see how it works out, then I will let you know!
I use chlorehexidine gluconate 4% solution from CVS it is an anticeptic skin cleanser. I use it once a week to help combat odor
@@ericakane_7979 Try liquid chlorophyll! It works.
@@chanelanderson4968 I have read other people have suggested that as well, so I will try that. Thanks for the suggestion!
I like lume and carpe...carpe seems better to me tho...most of these items you named I get from Amazon so thanks...always looking for new self care items
Also a tip I like is I put my outfit with a favorite dryer sheet in the dry...it keeps your fragrance in longer
You wanna amp it I will spray my fragrance on the dryer sheet and put in the dryer
Also scented oils are great in making fragrances last longer
I love Lume products. I am menopausal and nothing was working for me. I saw their advertisement on Facebook and so I tried. Best purchase I have made in a long time.
Some people stop smelling after stopping using soap. Soap strips the bacteria balance and that's why we smell worse. You will go through a 2-3 week adjustment phase after which you will start smelling way less. You can still exfoliate and wash away the dirt/dead skin, but no soap.
The DrBronners bar soap is the truth!!! I use that as a base clean as well!…. Gurllll you talking the truth!!! I have the Donna Karen deodorant as well, and I Love it! Plus their perfume and lotion 😊💕
Flo
I love this video because you're helping people who need a better deodorant love you Ash and hope you having a great day ♥♥♥
You keep saying how soft your skin is. Your skin is glowing and even looks soft. You have gorgeous skin!
I use glycolic acid daily, and it works wonders..I don't even use deodorant anymore...there's literally no scent under my arms at all...I love this stuff
This is amazing 😍
Bathed often and change certain foods that you eat. Coffee for some women can cause fowl odor.Try drinking apple cider vinegar with water. And what about your body chemistry.
I do a armpit detox once a week with Aztec healing clay from Amazon and then use lemon juice from organic lemons and I have no body odor whatsoever ! Highly recommend 😁
I use a cotton round and michelair water ( bioderma -pink cap). It literally cleans your armpits so well without scrubbing and irritating
I tried different deodorants and natural products over the years. The one thing that worked for me was getting Botox for my armpits. After that I haven’t had anymore problems with sweating.
Hi
You were excessively sweating before that?
@@maharijawarapulika1349 yes I was even in the winter.
Please be careful with Botox. You are injecting botulism toxin that can cause major health issues in the long term. I encourage you to do some research on this.
A method that I use for sweaty armpits is using a stick deodorant and then spraying a spray on deodorant on top of that. The only flaw with this method is that it does leave white residue but other than that you wont sweat as much if not at all with this method. It also doesn’t leave any sweat stains on white shirts. Ofc everyone is different but hopefully this method can help someone ☺️
Thanks for sharing 🤎
I agree with Dr. Bronners. This soap really works all over. Do not dilute, you will get used to the tingling. It also leaves my skin feeling very soft and clean.
Dr bronners with the dove refreshing scent. It’s the cucumber one. I use the refreshing dove spray deo too. It’s the best spray deo that I have found. Lume is the best stick/cream.
I’m also a sweaty girl who is in menopause (😡) lives in Florida (🥵) and NOTHING works for me either! 🤬 Transitioning to natural deodorant is a dance back and forth that’s for sure. Thank you for the suggestions, I will definitely shop your links! You are a beautiful young lady! Be well!
EXFOLIATING GLOVES!! You need those in you life!
My take away, was that I really needed to scrub these armpits.. I have seen a change in how well my Deodorant works now. Thanks.for sharing these tips
I never believe that I will be cured permanently from Tmau disease after using all kinds of body wash 🧴 and some treatment there was no solution. After using herbal medicine from Dr.Auchi on UA-cam channel for 3 weeks I was cure permanently from Tmau disease 🦠 without having it back again. I’m forever grateful to you sir…🙏🏻🙏🏻
dial gold antibacterial bar works good to kill under arm pit smell, don't put it on your private or inside the vajay, but under belly, under rolls, feet, neck, back it cuts the grease on your skin. you just have to moisturize afterwards.
I've been making my own natural deodorant for 20+ years. I can't use baking soda so I had to search for alternatives. Magnesium hydroxide is the replacement. If you find plain milk of magnesia with not a lot of additives, should be 3 the most, you can use it as a deodorant. You can also use diaper rash cream with zinc oxide, just add a butter/oil to make it more spreadable. I also make my own natural bar soap, using similar ingredients as Dr. Bronners, cleans great.
This is gold. Just tried the sudocrem and it works! I added coconut oil, not smell or wet underarms so far. I’m a super heavy sweater and I just did rounds at the mall. Thank you for this hack!
try half of a lime.
if you're caked up OR if underarms just on onions.
you could also use salt along with this to exfoliate the area.
so after the swirling of the lime leave on for about 5-7 mins, wash off and tada!!!
Do not do this if you've just shaved, baby you will see god.
and no need to do daily this but once a month is good.
@@Love72Yourself you see what happens when you don’t watch the entire video. Smh lol
Lol!!!
😂😂😂😂 that's was funny
Underarms on onion 😂😂😂😂
Lots of times smelling bad is due to excessive sweating. I know because i had that same problem. I started using certain dri and that has helped significantly.. I've tried lots and lots of products and that's been the best solution this far. It is not a deodorant though so you can apply something for that. Most ppl do but i find it doesn't really work for me but i think as long as you reapply certain dri as directed you're good.
I was watching a video last night and the suggestion by the Dr was to make sure you use a washcloth or whatever you’re using to bathe with to wash your armpits properly, not only the soap. Next, use rubbing alcohol to wipe under your armpits before applying your deodorant.
let me give you a virtual hug! I’m so ready to try this. My goal is to look and smell good. Therefore I will feel good, I’m still a teen so I’m thankful to be getting amazing advice. I love this app
Hibiclens soap is a game changer
That was me after menopause started. I came across a commercial for Lume’s body care, and thanks God that was the solution for my stinky underarm problem.
I use a salicylic acid based face wash under my arm, followed by Lume. Moisturize with Amlactin
No odor, no need to reapply throughout the day.
I’ve used both castles soap and the peppermint, I find, works the best 👌I thought I was the only one who found that it really helps with armpit
Hi Ash, I use cerave SA cleanser (its the clear gell) on my armpits and I scrub away. My next step is wash my body with dove antibacterial bar soap. I then rinse and start to wash with CeraVe Body Wash with Salicylic Acid | Fragrance Free Body Wash. I then use Native deodorant. It took a couple of days to for the deodorant to work 100%. I thought I wouuld share and encourage anyone to use the products and hopefully it will work out for them. God Bless.
Coming back into this as I enter the late 40s. It’s annoying to start smelling 30 minutes of showering. I agree with the glycolic acid, I found it too strong for my face but wiping it down a few times a week on the pits helps reduce this. It is an annoying nuisance even when showering 2x/day
I loved your makeup and your skin is flawless honey! Thank you for the helpful tips. I'm currently detoxing my armpits and so far its been good.
I use that Ordinary Glycolic acid on my feet right out of the shower. I rub Vaseline on afterwards and my feet have been so soft. It was a little harsh for my face too.
Do you think it would work for hands too?
has it lightened your feet?
What worked for me, I stopped using regular deodorant. It seems like regular deodorant gets stuck under your arm causing even more odor. I had to detox my underarm for a month using clay masks mixed with water and apple cider vinegar. I would wash with either a pine tar soap, dr. Bonners Soap, an antibacterial soap or all 3 at times. Then I would wipe under my arms with witch hazel and then I would apply some of the crystal stick mineral deodorant (the stick lasts for about 2 years). After about a month, I didn’t have to use the clay masks anymore and could just wash regularly using one of the soaps that I mentioned and then I apply the witch hazel and crystal stick deodorant. I’ve been doing it this way for years and it has treated me right. I can even skip a day. 👀🤷🏾♀️. Also, once you start using natural deodorants, please don’t flip flop and go back to regular deodorants, if you do, you will have to start the underarm detox all over again! If I am extremely sweaty, currently in menopause, I just tap a little cornstarch under my arms and it helps absorb the sweat.
Also, shaving can cause razor burn after a while. Be careful. I suggest waxing. Also, I find those sugar scrubs to harsh for my underarms. You just need a light exfoliant, like a Dove exfoliant body wash or the exfoliating glove. You will want to rub lightly, because the skin under your arms is delicate. I hope with all of the suggestions, everyone can find a routine that works for them! ❤
A dermatologist told my daughter to use Hibiclens for underarms. And to stop using deodorant because she was getting rashes. It works, no odor, no more deodorant. We buy it at Target.
You can also soak your armpits with warm soapy towels and let it sit for a few minutes to pull out the bacteria that causes the odor, then rinse in ice cold water to close the pores. Then apply a mild antiperspirant, like dove. Let that sit for a few minutes and gets it activated by your body heat. Then wipe it off with a clean paper towel. Just try it!
Great video. I loved Native deodorant but after 3 weeks I developed a terrible reaction/rash. I now use Hey Humans, been using it for over 5 months now, no issues or adverse reactions.
I use to be OBSESSED with not having body odor.
I would shower 2-3 times a day and wash my body 5 times each time and then I would load my underarms with deodorant.
Then about ten years ago, my underarms became badly clogged and infected.
I had to get my sweat glands and hair follicles removed.
I was then recommended by my Dr office to change my routine and products.
After many products and years I now use a tea tree oil and mint wash to kill bacteria, I use lever soap, and then I use my fragrant shower gels.
Luckily, I don't have to shave or use deodorant because I no longer grow hair or sweat.
However, i will occasionally use deodorant just for the smell but not regularly.
OMG 😳 did i do this to myself? I’ve been using coconut oil all over my body after I shower and it’s been fine but suddenly just about a week ago i had thus foul underarm smell !
I do use all natural deodorant but the oil might be the reason? Omg i’m heart broken 😞
@@neatkitten
Awe, its okay. If you think its the oil, then stop for a couple weeks and see if you notice a difference.
We don't realize the harm we do to ourselves with all these products especially when we mix and match and use so many.
I love the whole Pacifica line I use the coconut cream body wash, oil, soufflé and lotion( that's my night time body care). I'm going to try the under arm charcoal..they have it on amazon I jus added it to my cart ❤️
Awesome 😍❤️
