I have to say it`s definitely a diet aspect. I was never particularly stinky to begin with, but after living here for so long my sweat is virtually odorless. My husband actually smells vaguely sweet (and not the sickly sweet type of sweetness either.)
I`m sure that bathing habits also contribute. An actual bath does a lot more than a shower to clean out the pores.

I barely sweat in the summer, even with the humidity... but sweaters kill me - inside it`s warm enough that I sweat, only to freeze once I go outside - so I always use antiperspirant during the winter.

Rexena stick type is the best.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.
