You need to take a shower to smell good. Use warm water with a scented body wash or soap. Gently but thoroughly scrub yourself, especially your underarms, feet, and behind your ears.

And don’t forget to wash your hair A gentle-smelling shampoo can do wonders for hair as your hair also traps smells too. Use dry shampoo to keep your hair smelling good if you are not washing it daily.

2. Wear Clean Clothes

Clean clothing, meaning changing your socks and underwear regularly (or not at all). Even if it looks good, you have sweat, dirt, things that are on clothes that will cause an odor.

Wear breathable fabrics such as cotton. This prevents sweating and the creation of body odor. If your clothes are stinky, wash them with scented detergent or add a dash of vinegar to the wash for odor-free clothes.

3. Use a Good Deodorant

Deodorant is a must! It controls sweat and kills odor-causing bacteria You then use it on clean, dry skin after your shower.

Sticks, sprays or roll-ons are all available for you to choose from. Pick a fragrance you enjoy but can endure the duration. And there are some deodorants that also have antiperspirants in them, which completely prevents sweating.

4. Use Perfume or Body Spray That Lasts Long

Perfume or body spray adds an important element to your daily routine. Spritz a bit on your wrists, behind your ears, and on your neck. Those spots are warm and retain smells longer.

Don’t overdo it! When you use excessive perfume, it can be pungent. One or two sprays are enough. Select a perfume that reflects your individuality; this can be floral, fruit, or pungent scent.

(i) The Secret is in the Base

Well to make your perfume long-lasting you have to start from the bottom. Spray your fragrance on top of a little Vaseline, or perfume primer on your pulse points. This tip helps to set the fragrance, so it lasts way longer—like a sprinkle of magic!

(ii) Press, Don’t Rub

Do not rub the wrists together when applying perfume. When you rub, you slough off the top notes—the airy, fresh notes that you smell immediately when you wear the perfume—and change the nature of the fragrance. Instead gently rub your wrists together to transfer the scent without breaking its natural profile. This will keep you smelling good throughout the day!

(iii) Warm It Up

By using it in pulse points, it triggers the perfume thanks to the body heat, which is the best way to use a perfume. Those warm areas do their bit to release the scent beautifully. Best practice is to spritz behind the ears, around the wrists, in the insides of the elbows, behind the knees, or right on the small of the back.

5. Keep Your Breath Fresh

Bad breath is a big mood killer, but you need not worry if you maintain proper oral hygiene. Use a toothpaste that has a refreshing minty taste and brush your teeth at least twice a day looking for that fresh and clean taste. Daily flossing can target food particles or bacteria that your toothbrush cannot reach while using the right mouthwash can kill germs and leave your breath fresh.

Carry some mints or sugar-free chewing gum to freshen up during the day. Staying hydrated provides moisture to your mouth, removing bacteria that can cause bad breath to help you stay fresh and confident all day long.

7. Keep Your Skin Moisturized

Dry skin has a tendency to trap odors, lathering it with moisture is a must. For the best moisturizing, you should apply a good moisturizer right after your shower to seal in all the moisture. One with a light, refreshing scent that complements your perfume/deodorant for a synergistic scent.

Coconut oil or almond oil are perfect alternatives as they are natural oils. These are so nourishing to your skin making it feel soft, silky smooth, and lightly scented all day long. Having well-hydrated skin not only promotes smooth skin texture but also allows you to stay smelling fresh and pleasant.
