Why do i smell bad?

Question

I take a shower every morning with soap and i wash my hair with shampoo and i wear two layers of two different kinds of deoderant and i spray axe all over me and people still tell me that i smell like b.o. what do i do?

Answer 1

Listen to justin's advice. And stop putting so many odors on your body and stop slapping them on so heavy. It will make you smell like B.O. When you put deodorant/anti-perspirant on your underarms, it should just be a few up and down strokes covering your underarm with mild pressure.

Putting on too much underarm deodorant will DEFINITELY make you smell like bodor odor. My brother used to do this growing up. Then when we'd tell him he stinks, he'd go and put more on and smell even worse.

Answer 2

That's very likely because you aren't doing something right with your personal hygeine routine.

Could be you or your clothes or your deodorant. Make sure you're washing your clothes right. Wash your underwear separately in hot water. Don't re-wear any clothing like socks or anything. Make sure towels you use are always fresh and clean. Using dirty towels spreads bacteria all over your body, and will make you smell.

Make sure your shoes don't stink. Wash your coats. Wash your hats that you wear.

Sometimes those really low-flow shower heads leave people stinking, because there isn't enough water flow or pressure on the skin to clean out the pores. If this is the case, change the shower head and remove the low flow component on the new one you buy. Also shower your underarms longer (like keep the stream of water on each underarm for at least a minute, and rub the water into the underarms). And use a washcloth when showering, and use bodywash.

Smelly feet is a common problem with guys. Make sure you're actually washing your feet when you shower, using a washcloth and bodywash. Use an anti-bacterial bodywash rather than cheap bar soap that leaves a film on your skin.

I would recommend using speed stick unscented anti-perspirant rather than all of this scented crap on your underarms and no body spray. The combinations of all these odors you're putting on yourself may smell like body odor to people. You want to eliminate odor, not mix odor with a bunch of other odors, it will just make you smell worse. Use standard 'unscented' "anti-perspirant" on your underarms, and don't put it on too heavy, either.

well i dont know your age, but if your still in school, it could be as simple as : kids can be cruel and you dont smell at all.
however, keep showering, keep using deoderant , and keep using whatever cologne or body spray you like. but use only ONE deoderant, try something UNscented. and use only ONE type on cologne or body spray at a time in addition to your choice of deoderant, this way you wont have too many differant scents going on at the same time. ( because sometimes different scents dont mix well together. )
( shower befor you leave the house, not the night befor. because people sweat / perspire in their sleep. )
if you feel there is a problem, see a doctor and ask the doctor if you have a body oder problem and ask what could be causing it and what you can do about it.
if you dont feel there is a problem then IGNORE these people saying it.
I will share this with you : and its very personal, I never share this with anyone, but when I was in elementary school, I was teased and tormented by the other kids, told i smelled and called horrible names, had litterally ONE friend. ( first grade thru sixth ). my childhood was a nightmare. there were days i didnt want to get up for school.
but when i got older and went to middle school ( new buigger school rarely saw those kids anymore ) I NEVER heard anymore things like that said about myself by anyone and began making alot of friends right away.
thats why I said to you :
kids/teens can be cruel ignore them you may not smell at all.
and take pleasure in knowing this : you wont be around these people all your life, only for a time. eventually you will be surrounded with more mature individuals.

It is probably toxicity built up at your liver. Go to a health food store, or reliable vitamin shop, NOT - GNC & get a kit for a full body cleanse kit, or a liver cleanse kit, switch to shampoo that does not contain sodium lauryl sulfate. The information for you to research is out there on the world wide web, you just have to look for it. Lay off the AXE as you are probably setting up allergies, which is an attack on your immune system at your liver. Try a liver cleanse, but FIRST, get some OXYPOWDER & get rid of the garbage that has collected & impacted all the waste in your system. You can find this at http://www.amazon.com , This stuff is great, & you will notice an immediate difference after one week. You have to take control of your own health, try switching your diet. Drink plenty of steam distilled water, get a shower filter that filters out all chemicals from your water, you will notice that your skin becomes softer, hair, you might want to read interesting articles at http://www.organicconsumers.org I hope this helps, you will be stink free in no time.

Answer 5

Why are you using two layers of deodorant and then spraying axe on? Sounds like they are interacting with each other or it is possible that the chemistry in your body does not work with what you are using. I used a perfume for years that had the nicest of smells on me but later it smelt like BO as my body chemistry changed. By the way, are you putting clean clothes on as BO will linger on garments without you noticing especially sweaters and jackets.

Answer 6

justin gave very good advice. if you do everything he says, i doubt you'll smell anymore. ignore this stupidity with other people telling you you need to see a doctor and crap. i'm sure there's nothing different with you than anyone else unless you have health problems. and the very last thing you need is to apply even more scents to your body. one of the reasons you stink is *because* of your triple layers of scents.

i'd only like to add that you should get a clean "look" about you along with smelling better. get a good hair cut, use good shampoo and conditioner on your hair, use a good face wash, and keep yourself clean shaven. don't wear old, crappy, raggy, and baggy clothes. if you look like a bum people will assume you smell like one too.

Answer 7

Go to your local health food store & buy a bottle of "Chlorophyll". Take 1 spoonful daily. It is sweet tasting, so not offensive. It stops bad breath, body odor & foot odor.
It is also very healing for the body.
Also, make sure your clothes are freshly laundered. Try buying several new pairs of shoes & sneakers & wear one pair today & another pair tomorrow. Wear socks, too. Give your shoes a day in between wearing so they can air out.

Answer 8

I think there is a condition called "chronic body odor." You might want to go to your doctor to get it checked out.

BUT..
maybe it could be the clothes you are wearing? not washed right? the type of fabric? loose fitting clothes let air circulate the body better and not let the body get so smelly compared to tight clothes. Also certain foods, such as meat, onions, garlic, exotic spices, and drinks such as coffee and alcohol can lead to body odor, so try not to eat them for a week and see if you experience any change.

Hope this helps!

Answer 9

1. you are overspraying it. too many sprays can cause a mixture of stinkyness.

2. use a strong body shampoo. not just a soap bar. use Old Spice for men. thta stuff is strong and it will stay on you for a few hours

3. try not to do so much physical work. that may casue you to smell

Answer 10

You might want to look at your diet and address any health issues like smoking or drinking. Try different deodorants. Dry idea is pretty good. Try a different soap... Safeguard works well for me. Do you wear clean clothes? What do you wash them in? There's all sorts of things that you can try.
