Brilio.net - Facial soap , which is usually used to remove dirt and makeup residue on the face, can actually be used to remove body odor. It does sound strange if facial soap is applied to the armpits, considering that few people understand. However, this was proven by a beauty enthusiast named Ali.
Through an upload on his TikTok account @Hungryforskincare a few days ago, he shared a trick that has recently gone viral on social media. Ali uses face wash to treat body odor.
However, it should be noted that you should not use this face wash casually. The man in black uses a face wash with certain ingredients, such as benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid and salicylic acid.
"I'm one of those who haven't used deodorant for several years because I know there are three ingredients that can kill bacteria on underarms," he said.

So, using facial soap to get rid of underarm odor is really easy. First, pour in enough facial soap that you have. Then use it to wash your face first.
"I deliberately used lekbong, so that it could be practiced," explained Ali.

You can apply the remaining foam on your hands to your armpits. Gently rub your armpits. Leave it for one to two minutes. After that, rinse using normal water.

The final stage is to apply deodorant, but at night. This is a face wash that is applied to the armpits and can work well.
"I guarantee you will use deodorant less often if you use a cleanser that contains salicylic acid," said Ali.
Contains salicylic acid and glycolic acid to remove underarm odor.In the video above, Ali explains that the facial soap used must contain salicylic acid and glycolic acid. Quoting from Huffpost, Monday (10/6) salicylic acid and glycolic acid can indeed help get rid of underarm odor.
According to a study, underarm odor is caused by bacteria that live in the skin or called staphylococcus hominis. These bacteria are able to convert chemicals from sweat into pungent body odor.
Then the acid content in facial soap helps reduce the Ph level in the armpits. According to Zaskia, a clinical professor of dermatology at Stanford California, explained that the armpit is a genetic area that has a higher pH level. When using products made from glycolic acid or salicylic acid, it can lower the pH and reduce bacterial growth in the area.
Apart from that, the acid content is also useful as an exfoliator. Therefore, it can remove dead skin cells in the armpits. This not only makes the underarm smell disappear, but the skin automatically brightens.
