Cecille's Creativity

Body odors are produced by the bacterial activity that flourishes in moist and warm parts of the body, like the underarm, where perspiration cannot evaporate promptly. That is why, body odors are not produce by perspiration. Perspiration in itself is odorless.

Commercial deodorants help eliminate the odors namely powder, cream, liquid and aerosol sprays. They should be used immediately after taking a bath. Bacterial growth is less likely to flourish in shaved underarms. Hairy armpits collect perspiration and increase the number of odor-producing bacteria. Deodorant soaps are also available. There are certain antiseptic chemicals that do not kill but inhibit only bacterial growth.
Furthermore, body odors can be eliminated by frequent use of soap and clean water, and by wearing clean clothes.
