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.

…but the woman in your life may think otherwise. George Preti is an organic chemist with the Monell Chemical Sciences Center. He says, a woman’s hormones give her a sharper sense of smell – and biologists think it’s because women need it to subconsciously sniff out a mate’s genes, so they can produce healthy offspring. But on a day-to-day basis, it means a little bit of B.O. will be noticed by a woman faster than a man. And a woman may pick up on odors a man doesn’t even detect. And don’t bother trying to body spray your way out of it! Dr. Preti says, when they tested 32 different fragrances in an effort to mask odor – only 2 of them fooled women. The men who were tested? They were fooled by 19 of the scents! So, guys, if you’re deciding whether or not to shower before your date – shower. A woman can smell body odor a mile away.

Eat more zinc-rich foods to help repair sun-damaged skin and reduce body odor!

If you’re tanned or sunburned, you may stink more than usual. Because your body uses the mineral zinc to repair sun-damaged skin AND reduce body odor. This means a lot of us are low on zinc in the summer when our body is using more of it to save our skin. So load up on zinc-rich foods, like oysters, lobster, shrimp, crab, lean beef and dark meat chicken. Vegetarian? Try lentils, sesame seeds, and cashews. Just 30 milligrams of zinc a day can inhibit the growth of stinky bacteria on the skin. And you’ll get plenty from 2 oysters, or 3 shrimp.

A new solution is on the way to detect health issues.

Did you know that your personal aroma – meaning your body odor – is as distinct as a fingerprint? According to organic chemist Dr. George Preti, every person on the planet smells distinctly different from everybody else. Even identical twins. And that’s why dogs – and soon computers – will be able to detect and diagnose health issues simply by our smell.

If the summer weather is making you stink, eat more cashews.

cashewsResearchers at Reading University have found that people with body odor often have a zinc deficiency – it affects about 1 in 3 people! And the problem is even worse in summer, when sweating makes you lose even more zinc. But cashews are loaded with the mineral – which stops the growth of the skin bacteria that make you stinky. Not a fan of cashews? You can get more zinc in spinach and baked beans too.
