Brilio.net - Armpits are a folded part of the body that sweats easily and is a source of unpleasant body odor. This unpleasant odor occurs due to sweat mixed with bacteria. Apart from that, due to friction and dead skin cells that accumulate, the armpits are also prone to darkening and a rough texture.
Well, dirt such as accumulated dead skin cells, pollution, and leftover deodorant products can also cause unpleasant body odor. Because these various types of dirt can become a place for the growth of bacteria that cause body odor. Lack of cleanliness and rarely exfoliating the armpits can also cause bacteria to grow quickly and produce a sour aroma.
Even though it is not a dangerous condition, the problem of sour underarms can reduce a person's self-confidence. So many are looking for solutions to overcome it. Start by using skincare products, getting treatments at beauty clinics, and using natural ingredients. Well, one of the skincare products that is commonly used is deodorant.
Deodorant is a skincare product that is formulated to overcome acidic body odor and reduce the production of excessive sweat in the armpits. Apart from dealing with unpleasant body odor, currently there are many deodorant products that contain brightening ingredients, as an effort to brighten dark underarms.
But unfortunately, the chemical content in deodorant products often irritates the skin for some people. Not only that, some deodorants can actually make underarm odor even more sour thanks to the chemical content in them which is not suitable for some people.

Benefits of aloe vera gel to treat sour underarm odor.
Aloe vera is a natural ingredient that is rich in antioxidants and has antibacterial properties, so it can be used as a way to get rid of sour underarm odor naturally. Not only that, aloe vera gel also contains anthraquinone compounds which can ward off bacteria, thereby reducing the growth of bacteria that cause body odor. Apart from that, aloe vera gel also has a high water content which is cold so it can overcome excessive sweating.
Salt content to reduce unpleasant body odor.
Salt, which is sodium chloride, is antibacterial, so it is effective in killing bacteria that cause body odor. Salt has powerful cleansing properties, which remove excess sweat and influence the action of microbes living on the surface of the skin. In fact, this kitchen ingredient can also act as an effective exfoliator to remove accumulated dead skin cells and dirt, which are a place for bacteria to grow.
You can rely on these two ingredients to make an underarm scrub which is believed to be effective in treating sour underarm odor. Regular use will also make dark underarms brighter and cleaner.
