One of my close friends told me that I sometimes smell, and she wasn't jokingI don't know why though! I have a shower every night, I use deodorant (but not an antiperspirant because my mum won't let me use anything with aluminium in it, she claims it can cause cancer), I wash my school clothes at least 2 or 3 times a weekHowever, I don't use perfume or anythingWhat could be making me smell? And any suggestions to help me not smell and can you please state some aluminium free ANTI-PERSPIRANTSThank you!
If you are a teenager, then sometimes you can't help smellingIt is to do with your hormonesBut there are things you can do to help First, shower in the morningIf you sweat in your sleep, you will smell all day If your hair is greasy you may need to wash it every dayTeenagers often need to give their hair a double washUse plenty of shampooRub well in and leave a minute to soak inRinse outRepeatYou mom is right about aluminiumTry a health food store that sells perfumed antiperspirantAs a teenager I just used the strongest antiperspirant I could findThen stopped using an aluminium based one as soon as I was through my teensChange absolutely all your clothes at least once a day, including hairbands, hair ribbons, jackets, etcSometimes it is worth wearing a washable coat (like a fleece) rather than one that needs dry cleaningAs a tooth brushing routine - brush, stick (use those furry sticks that go between the teeth), floss (I prefer dental tape to floss), then repeatFinish by gargling with mouth washThen chew a chewing gum for 5-10 minutesSome people believe the more meat you eat and the more coffee you drink, the more you smellCertainly, eating a healthy diet and drink lots of water can be helpful.
