How to get rid of body odour in summers?

It's summer time and so it is body odour time. However, body odour may be a perennial issue for some people. I follow 3 simple steps to keep body odour at bay all throughout the year.


1. Take bath at least twice in a day:

This is so important for everyone. Not only the working people should follow this, but also the stay at home people should do the same. Bathing helps to refresh ourselves in the most simple way and also helps us get rid of the germs and dirt that adheres to our skin.


2. Stop using deodorants and use lemon juice instead:

I know this sounds ridiculous but let me tell you, I have stopped using deodorants in my underarms for about a year, instead I use lemon juice which has resulted in 3 good things -
i) underarms are not that dark anymore
ii) body odour problem has decreased considerably and it makes me feel fresh all day long
iii) growth of underarm hair has been stunted.
For application of lemon juice, I slice a wedge of lemon and rub it on my underarms after taking shower.

Half a lemon a day keeps body odour away!



3. Scrub and moisturize your underarms: 

I never took good care of my underarms but for the past one year I have been doing so. I use a gentle scrub (gram flour) for scrubbing my underarms and use a moisturizer to keep it moisturized. I usually scrub and moisturize thrice in a week.

So these were some of the tricks I use to keep my body odour at bay. If you find this post useful and informative do leave a comment to let me know your thoughts.

Suncros Aquagel SPF 26 Review

Hello everyone. Today I'm going to review a sunscreen which is the Suncros Aquagel Sunscreen with spf 26. Of late I am only using products that are paraben free. As most of you know, paraben is a class of compounds that are used in cosmetics as a preservative. Although parabens help to keep our makeup and skin care products bacteria free, however it is said cause hormonal disturbance in our body. Hence, I prefer to be on the safer  side. I have used sunscreens from Lakme, Lotus, Khadi, Neutrogena and they all contain paraben. The Khadi sunscreen claims to be paraben free but I don't like its texture. On much research and consultation with a dermatologist I came across Suncros sunscreen. Suncros Aquagel Spf 26 Now, Suncros has many variants of sunscreens. You can find both cream and gel formulae sunscreens. Although this one has the term "gel"  in it, but the texture is actually that of a cream.  Packaging:   The sunscreen comes in a cubical ...

Miss Claire Orange Corrector/Concealer

It's review time again. Due to my increasing dark circles, I bought an orange corrector to diminish/hide them. Clinique, NYX, LA Girl, Kryolan and many other brands have orange corrector. I intended to buy the Kryolan one but they have increased the price of the 4 grams pot from 350 INR to 750 INR (I inquired in some stores at New Market). So finally I bought the Miss Claire one. I wasn't too keen on getting it as I know most of the Miss Claire products contain parabens; to my sweet surprise, this didn't. Packaging:  The corrector comes in a small, transparent, acrylic pot with a black cap. The pot is compact and travel friendly. Packaging of Miss Claire Orange Corrector Ingredients List: Ingredients List Quantity:  6 grams Price:  250 INR The product! Review:  The first thing you will notice on opening the pot is that it is too orange but on blending it becomes a light orange more with yellow undertones. Since this has a strong ...
