Why You Stink And How To Stop It

why you stink and how to stop it

The Stink: Underarm odor

The Solution: Along with washing and drying yourself thoroughly, you can use Gillette Clear Gel with Power Beads ($18 for a 3 pack @ Amazon.com) to battle the smell produced by your apocrine glands. Those sweat glands develop in hairy regions of your body (groin, scalp, and armpits) and produce proteins and fatty acids that are metabolized by bacteria, creating a foul stench. (It’s also what causes those yellow pit stains sometimes seen on white T-shirts.) Taking cover behind the Odor Shield means the smell will be neutralized for 16 solid hours worth of protection.
