One of the most frequent problems in the summer is the continuous sweating that each of us experiences especially during the sultry days. A problem not only of weakness or health but sometimes also a condition of embarrassment that can be created.
Of course, having your shirts or sweaters completely drenched in sweat isn’t exactly a good feeling. We panic if perhaps this excessive sweating could cause stinks or odors that are unpleasant for ourselves or for others.
Obviously it’s not nice for anyone to be in this situation or maybe be around someone who gives off this strong stench. Often, however, these pungent odors are not always caused by poor personal hygiene but by characteristics of our body. In addition, the type of sweating, acid or basic, also heavily affect our eating habits or life, such as alcohol consumption.
We hear about altered pH but what it really is
When it comes to skin well-being, we often come across this term but in reality we don’t dwell on it too much. In reality, the pH of the skin is the indicator that clearly tells us the level of acidity of our skin. In fact, the success of the millions of products we buy, such as face creams, body creams, perfumes, deodorants or even bubble baths, depends on this.
Experts tell us that the optimal pH level is between 4.5 and 5.6. When the pH is lower than these levels we speak of acid pH while on the contrary we will have a neutral pH.
Restore the pH of the skin to stop sweating and smelling
An excessively acidic pH leads to sweating tending towards strong and pungent odors. So to avoid embarrassing situations it seems necessary to re-establish optimal pH levels.
As we said before, sometimes excessive sweating and the consequent smell of sweat, often also derives from causes related to our bad eating habits or incorrect lifestyles. Already a big leap forward would be to remedy them to notice improvements.
Furthermore, choosing the right deodorant is also essential because problems often start right here.
There are also natural solutions to restore the pH of the skin to stop sweating and stinking.
For example, before or after a shower, baking soda eliminates moisture from the skin, limiting sweating and bad smells. Or even apple cider vinegar plays a similar role, especially in absorbing and eliminating bad odors.
