I have tips to tame body odor from dermatologist Lauren Eckert Ploch, from the American Academy of Dermatology:

Tip #1: If you tend to stink, wash your armpits with facial acne wash. Because sweat won’t smell until it mixes with the bacteria on your skin. But washing your underarms with products containing benzoyl peroxide will reduce skin bacteria and improve body odor. 

Then: Out of deodorant? In a pinch, hand sanitizer or alcohol will kill the bacteria that cause B.O., and stave off any potential stink for awhile. But if you’ve just shaved or waxed, skip it. It’ll sting like crazy.

You may have heard that putting hand sanitizer on a pimple will get rid of the bacteria and dry it up? NOT TRUE!
Dermatologists at Stony Brook University say putting hand sanitizer on acne will only make things worse. First, your skin will produce even more oil to compensate for the drying effect. And the active ingredients in the gel can irritate the skin on your face. As a result, you can get more pimples and redness as a rebound effect. So, don’t do it. Instead, use a product that’s made to fight pimples on your face that contains benzoyl peroxide.
