Planning that vacation, a romantic date or an important meeting? If yes, are you already fretting over those smelly underarms that can nauseate any living being? This easy trick can help you avert such a situation.
How does apple cider vinegar help?
A quick fix solution for foul body odour, apple cider vinegar works by lowering the pH of the area in and around your underarms and unclogging the pores of your skin. This drop in the pH of your skin prevents the growth of foul odour causing bacteria[1]. Apart from that the astringent properties of apple cider vinegar help close the pores and reduces the production of sweat.
How to use apple cider vinegar?
Keeping your armpits fresh with apple cider vinegar is a fairly simple task. Simply dip a cotton ball in some vinegar and rub it on your under arms instead of using a regular deodorant. Applying this twice, a day will serve the purpose. And don t worry, the smell of the vinegar evaporates in 15 minutes or so and you don't go about smelling like a salad.
Using this will control your underarm sweating appreciably and keep you odour free throughout the day. Apple cider vinegar is also a home remedy for whiter teeth.
