Ever heard of the phrase, ‘you are what you eat’? Some foods, when eaten in large amounts can cause body odor. Onions, garlic and asparagus are some of the foods you will want to go slow on to keep smelling nice.

2. Drink up

How much water you need to drink in a day is dependent on various aspects. But as you already know, the recommended amount is eight glasses a day. Just try not to go below that.

Immediately after leaving the bathroom, apply scented oil when your skin is still damp. This way, your skin will absorb the oils and fragrance better. Invest in a luxurious body lotion whose scent lingers on all day.

4. Change your clothes on a daily basis

Yes, this includes your most comfortable black bra and your pair of jeans. This ensures that you smell fresh and nice everyday. You may not have noticed it but your body generates some odor due to sweat and oils making your clothes smell.
