My roomate thinks I am insane but honestly prefer it over cereal or eggs. Saves times in the morning too. Am I the only one who does this or is he overreacting.
Maybe I should’ve posted this in a cologne/perfume focused reddit but I would like to know what are some product I can use to give off a “clean” scent. Just looking for every day use. Would rather ask you guys than A.I. Thanks in advance.
I used to wash my oil scalp daily because of the oil and smell in my scalp. You can literally see the oil in my hair coming out of the scalp.
So I was washing every single day, sometimes twice if I'd been sweaty, and my scalp just stayed oily. Like, within hours of washing it would already feel greasy again. I don't know if it was the harsh shampoo stripping something, or irritation, or honestly just my baseline, probably a mix. But something wasn't working. I eventually tried spacing washes out by a day, which felt disgusting at first, and then another day after a couple weeks. It wasn't some magic fix but my scalp did seem to calm down a bit over time. Could be coincidence, I genuinely don't know.
The dry shampoo thing is worth mentioning because I was using it wrong for ages. I was basically replacing washing with it, which just meant I had oil AND product sitting on my scalp. It works way better as a bridge, like, to get through one extra day, not as a substitute for actually washing. When I started using way less of it and only at the roots, it stopped making things worse.
I also started paying more attention to what's actually in the shampoo. Nothing fancy, I just started looking for things like salicylic acid or zinc, which seem to actually do something for scalp buildup rather than just cleaning the hair shaft. Whether that made a real difference or I just felt better about it, hard to say.
Anyway this is all just what worked for me, or what I think worked, I'm not totally sure which changes actually mattered. But if you're stuck in the same daily wash loop and still smelling oily by afternoon, it might be worth messing around with the routine a bit.
Apology for the long post, just sharing what I experienced and learned for it.
I hate this. My armpits are suddenly peeling white, dead skin. I think this is one of the reasons why I have BO and sweat, but I don't know how to remove it. When I try to peel it, it causes redness and irritation in my armpits. What should I do while bathing to remove this without damaging my armpits?
Hello everyone, I need some advice. I’m actually having a problem with a bad smell, but I’m not sure if it’s coming from my scalp/head or my armpits. One of my classmates told me that my armpits smelled bad, so I tried smelling them myself, but I couldn’t notice any bad smell. They suggested that I use deodorant, but the smell still didn’t go away. I also take a bath regularly, around five times a week, so I’m confused about why the smell is still there.
But actually, my main suspect is my head/scalp because after I take a bath, I can sometimes notice the smell, especially when my hair and scalp are still wet. I’m also confused about whether the smell is actually coming from my head or my armpits. I’ve tried different anti-dandruff shampoos, including Head & Shoulders (green and pink), and I also tried using coconut oil, but nothing seems to work.
The worst part is that when some people smell it, they start sniffing or seem to develop a runny nose, and sometimes it seems to make their coughing worse.
Someone also suggested mixing vinegar and baking soda into a spray, applying it to my scalp, then taking a bath afterward and using the green Head & Shoulders shampoo. But I asked AI about it first, and I was told that it might not be safe. So now I’m not sure what I should do or what could actually be causing the smell.
Suggest some good hygiene products (soaps, or anything) especially to be used for men's genitals
Just to prevent itching, and any kind of infections, and for good hygiene practice!!
Hello, M19. I want to ask what to do about my hyperhidrosis and BO. I just got in to see a dermatologist, and they told me to use two products: an antiperspirant/antibiotic solution (for three months) and mupirocin cream (for two weeks). They work really well, but only for 4-6 hours, and then I continue to sweat and smell bad :((. I cannot afford another consultation with a dermatologist because of financial problems. What should I do to make the effects last longer than just 4-6 hours?
I just found out that scrubbing every day can introduce new bacteria. Should I continue scrubbing two to three times a week?
