EUCALYPTUS & TEA TREE'S STRONG ANTI-BACTERIAL QUALITIES KILL THE BACTERIA WHICH TRANSFORMS SWEAT INTO SMELLY FATTY ACIDS THAT CAUSE ODOUR.
We all know that generally men perspire more than women, but did you know that genetically some people are unable to smell their own odour? Also, certain medical conditions like thyroid disease and carcinoid syndrome can make sweating worse, as can the side-effects of some medicines like antidepressants.
Perspiration itself does not smell, but it's the bacteria that lives on our skin that breaks down sweat into aromatic fatty acids which produce the unpleasant odour. So, body odour can be reduced by either reducing sweat and/or reducing the amount of bacteria on the skin.
Body odour can also be caused by food. Foods that contain a lot of fats, oils and pungent foods like garlic can lead to odor. This is caused by the release of aroma occurs in the pores of the skin and mixes with sweat.
