NIVEA Deo Black and White Women

The cause behind excessive sweating – and the stench that comes with it – isn’t as simple as bad hygiene. Technically known as hyperhidrosis, the reason for body odour run the gamut from an overactive thyroid to obesity while stimulants like coffee can have an impact on the actual smell of your sweat. So if over-the-counter products and regular showering aren’t shifting your personal smell, you might have to seek help from a specialist.

In 99% of cases, however, an anti-perspirant can fight body odour effectively.

Despite no types of sweat being desirable, your body produces more than just one type of sweat.

The eccrine glands found on the hands, feet and forehead produce sweat that’s 99% water and largely inoffensive. The apocrine glands, however – are found around the groin and armpits.
