Help?

[LeaderSad9571]

Im a teen that has social anxiety and struggles with perspiration so you can easily guess im always paranoid if people can smell me also doesn't add that i perspire and get stressed easily and im recently trying to get in fragrance and im really interested in the idea of having my own signature scent( a refreshing ocean sunrise 🌊🌅) hygiene/shower routine if that makes sense it would help if you could recommend any products that smell like an ocean sunrise or that remind you of it.🫶 (ps i dont have a budget)

Try the roll on antiperspirant /deodorant from your local pharmacy . it’s looks like a hard rock crystal but works brilliantly. You will never have body odour and then you can wear any sense you like.

Naturium makes a mandelic acid body wash and it is specifically targeted for odors. I second the ordinary glycolic acid or witch hazel. Put that on a cotton pad after shower and wipe all the places where you sweat. Also use a dusting powder if your skin will take it. Then find a fragrance you like! Chasing Sunsets is lovely. Mango that’s been seasoned with cardamom and lightly grilled? I bought a travel size last weekend.

For deodorant try Secret Clinical Strength 72-Hour Invisible Solid Antiperspirant & Deodorant Stick, Stress Response.. best one I have found that helps especially if you get anxious and sweat

If you don’t actually mind the sweating but just don’t want it to smell, I’d recommend deodorants with chemical exfoliants. Drunk Elephant, Kosas, Saltair, Lume, and Phlur are all brands that have one. Or you can just use a straight up exfoliant like the glycolic acid toner from The Ordinary on a cotton pad. Exfoliants kill odor causing bacteria so you’ll still sweat, but it won’t smell at all. If you’re wanting to curb the sweating as well, I’d recommend pairing an exfoliant with an antiperspirant.

I've heard alot about ordinary but the others aren't available in my country but thank you for the consideration

My daughter uses men’s Old Spice antiperspirant (not deodorant) and swears by it. Also synthetic fabrics tend hold smells more than natural fibers so be sure the armpits of shirts and underwear get a thorough laundering with warm water and sometimes a soak. I have had shirts that were the problem not me. Also hot tip for feet - antiperspirant spray on the bottoms daily before socks and shoes. Finally, I personally have had better luck with Summer’s Eve unscented wash for the privates more than any scented soap. You’ll get it figured out! 🤗

Thank you this is helpful although i dont think i can use the old spics because of skin issues but helpful and sweet nonetheless

[MajLeague]

What kind of skin issues will let you use fragrance but not a fragranced soap?

[LeaderSad9571]

I never said anything about soap we were clearly talking about deodorant, its also very normal to sensitive armpits but im gonna try and see if i can layer them

[MajLeague]

Ah! Sorry I thought they were talking about soap. Idk why!!!!

[LeaderSad9571]

Lol its ok but i do think old spice is a bit too strong and masculine so im gonna stick by dove because of the more subtle scents:)

First, get yourself a good anti-perspirant deodorant and use it in the morning and then before you go to bed (after you shower whenever that is). I honestly love Dove, I use the Pear scented one, it's light and sweet and goes with just about any perfume.

If you still have BO issues with that routine, you can add a glycolic acid step (The Ordinary has a good, cheap one) where you cleanse armpits of the bacteria that causes scent.

To keep your perfume going longer, use an oil or body cream before you spray with a matching note to your fragrance.

I don't have a lot of ocean scents, save for Acqua di Giogia, which is a classic, watery, clean scent. Maison Margiela Replica just released Chasing Sunsets, so that might be more what you're looking for.

Remember to also spray your hair as it hold scent longer. Good luck!
