Brilio.net - Have you ever smelled your body smell sour and sour? The smell of sour body odor may make you and the people around you feel uncomfortable. Moreover, when you gather with your peers at a hangout, they might avoid you.
Well, this problem of body odor can occur because human skin naturally has bacteria living on its surface. When sweat mixes with bacteria, a chemical reaction can occur that produces an unpleasant sour odor.
Sweat is the body's natural way to cool itself. However, if someone experiences excessive sweating, especially in certain areas such as the armpits, skin folds, or palms, then sweat can become a nest for bacteria that cause unpleasant odors.
Apart from being caused by bacteria and sweat, the food that enters the body can also affect body odor. Spicy foods, garlic and lots of salt can cause unpleasant body odor. Meanwhile, several medical conditions such as sweat gland disorders, diabetes, metabolic disorders also cause sour body odor.
To get rid of sour body odor , usually many people rely on deodorant products. However, using deodorant too often can have a bad impact on underarm skin health, such as irritation and allergies.
To avoid irritation and allergies due to deodorant, you can replace the product with natural ingredients. Like what mothers do with the YouTube channel @mamarezky. In uploading the video on the YouTube channel, the mothers used one kitchen ingredient, namely vinegar.
Vinegar is a natural ingredient that has various benefits, including its ability to treat body odor. Reporting from duradry.com, Tuesday (23/4) vinegar has acidic properties which can help balance the pH of the skin.
A good skin pH balance can reduce the growth of bacteria that cause body odor, thereby helping to reduce unpleasant odors. The antimicrobial and antibacterial properties in vinegar can help kill bacteria that cause unpleasant odors on the skin.
Additionally, vinegar has antifungal properties that can help treat skin infections that may be the cause of unpleasant body odor. By killing infection-causing fungi and bacteria, vinegar can help reduce body odor caused by certain skin conditions.

However, using vinegar directly on underarm skin can risk causing irritation or even injury to the skin because of its high acid content. If you want to try using vinegar to lighten underarm skin, make sure to do it carefully and in moderation.
