Let’s talk about it — body odor. It happens to everyone, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with it. Whether you’re sweating it out at the gym or just trying to make it through a hot day without a stink situation, underarm odor can seriously cramp your vibe. Luckily, with a few skincare swaps and the right routine, you can keep your underarms fresh, clean, and totally confident.
What Causes Underarm Odor?
Contrary to popular belief, sweat isn’t actually what smells — it’s the bacteria that breaks sweat down on your skin that causes the odor. When your underarms aren’t properly cleansed and exfoliated, dead skin cells and bacteria build up and create a stronger smell. Add tight clothes and warm weather to the mix, and boom: hello, odor.
Why Body Odor Is a Bigger Deal Than You Think
Beyond the obvious social discomfort, body odor can be a sign that your skin isn't getting the attention it needs. Persistent odor may lead to:
-
Irritation and inflammation caused by bacteria buildup
-
Stained clothing and fabric breakdown
-
Low self-confidence in social and professional settings
-
Skin imbalance that contributes to acne, ingrowns, and other concerns
By addressing body odor with a proper skincare routine, you're not just keeping fresh — you're promoting healthier, happier skin overall.
How to Naturally Eliminate Underarm Odor
If deodorant alone isn’t cutting it, it’s time to level up your skincare routine with Mi-el:
-
Step 1: Exfoliate with Sugar Scrub
Mi-el’s Strawberry Kiss or Honey-Infused Sugar Scrub gently removes buildup and dead skin cells that trap bacteria. Use 2-3x per week in the shower, massaging into damp skin for a deep cleanse that leaves you feeling fresh and smooth. -
Step 2: Hydrate with Body Oil
Our luxurious Body Oil not only hydrates your skin but also helps maintain the healthy pH balance that prevents bacteria from thriving. It soaks in fast and leaves zero residue. -
Step 3: Lock in Moisture with Body Cream
Finish your routine with Mi-el’s Body Cream, which calms the skin post-exfoliation and keeps your underarms soft and soothed. Hydrated skin = less irritation, fewer ingrown hairs, and less odor over time.
