Be a fragrant woman in summer! Teach you to "guard against" the four major sources of odor

In summer, what women fear most is that their bodies have some unpleasant odor. Let’s see how women can avoid the occurrence of unpleasant odor.

I am afraid of having beautiful hair

Oil and sugar

Sweet delicacies are women’s favorites, but high-sugar and high-fat foods are the killers of hair fragrance. Zhang Jingdong, chief physician of the Department of Dermatology at Zhongda Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University, said that high-sugar and high-fat foods affect the absorption of vitamins by hair follicles, stimulate the secretion of sebaceous glands, and easily make people have "oily hair and greasy face." If women want to have fresh hair in summer, they should pay attention to a light diet, drink more water, and eat more whole grains, vegetables and fruits.

Sun Zhanxue, deputy chief physician of the Department of Dermatology and Venereology at the Oriental Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, said that dealing with oily scalp is actually the same for both men and women. He himself often uses raw cypress leaves to boil water and filter it to wash his hair. Raw cypress leaves can cool the blood and remove dampness, and are very effective in removing oily scalp. In addition, their hospital also has a special "recipe for removing oil from hair", the ingredients of which are angelica root, mint, indigo, prickly ash, raw cypress leaves, etc. Shake the mixture well and add shampoo to keep your hair refreshed and oil-free.

Jade Foot

No smelly feet

There are two things to pay attention to

Some women's feet sweat easily, and if they wear rubber-soled shoes or plastic sandals, their feet will easily smell. Athlete's foot is also an aggravating factor of foot odor.

Sweating feet, wearing the wrong shoes, and athlete's foot (also known as tinea pedis) are all causes of foot odor. Patients with athlete's foot should focus on disease treatment and must take medication for more than four weeks to control athlete's foot and thus reduce foot odor. For female friends whose feet sweat easily, they should wear the right shoes to avoid "smelling" their feet.

Sun Zhanxue said that if you want to keep your feet from smelling, you need to pay attention to two things when wearing shoes. First, put a cotton insole inside the rubber-soled shoes, because rubber-soled shoes are not breathable and sweat cannot be dissipated, and once bacteria decompose them, they will produce a salty and smelly smell; the same goes for plastic shoes, so wear them less; second, if you wear socks, try to wear thin, cotton socks. It is best to wear cloth shoes or sneakers as they absorb sweat better. Change your shoes every 1 to 2 days, and put the shoes you take off on the balcony in the sun to kill bacteria and remove odors.

Adding some aromatherapy to your foot bath is also a good way to reduce foot odor. Sun Zhanxue said that when washing your feet every day, you can put some flower-based medicinal herbs, such as chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, rose, etc.

armpit

Excessive sweating under the arms

Can be injected

Summer is the most worrying season for patients with underarm odor; even if there is no underarm odor, the smell produced by underarm sweat can make women extremely upset.

In the hot summer, people wear thin clothes and it is easy to expose their body odor, which is embarrassing. Armpit odor is a problem for many women. Dr. Dong Zhengbang from the Department of Dermatology at Zhongda Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University said that sweat itself has no odor, but if it accumulates in places that are difficult to clean, it will easily ferment and produce odor. If you want to reduce the odor of sweat in the summer, it is best to dry your armpits, leg crevices and other parts frequently, wipe them with wet wipes and then dry them.

People who sweat too much, including those with underarm odor, can also consider getting an antiperspirant injection to reduce sweating and avoid embarrassment. Of course, underarm odor can only be ultimately resolved by surgically destroying the sweat glands.

Sun Zhanxue reminds that after eating foods with strong flavors such as durian, garlic, leeks, and mutton, some substances will be excreted through the sweat glands. Ladies who love beauty are advised to eat these things at night so that they may have been metabolized during the day and will not affect socializing.

Private Parts

Private parts smelly add ingredients to wash

The private parts of healthy women generally have no odor, but women with vaginitis or excessive leucorrhea will produce an odor, which is more obvious in summer.

Vaginitis and excessive leucorrhea will cause the secretions to contain a large amount of protein, which will produce an unpleasant odor after being decomposed by bacteria. If you have excessive vaginal discharge, it is yellow, and looks "messy", you must go to the hospital to see if you have any disease. If there is no disease, taking some medicine internally can regulate menstruation and reduce leucorrhea, which can not only reduce odor but also regulate women's health.

Adding some ingredients when cleaning can also effectively remove odors. Sun Zhanxue recommends different methods for cleaning private area odors for female friends with different conditions. He said that urban female friends can buy medicines conveniently and can use high-quality private washes on the market to clean the private parts, which can help remove odors at the same time. However, attention should be paid to the method of use, otherwise it may damage the skin. At the same time, care should be taken not to abuse it.

For female friends in rural areas who find it inconvenient to buy medicine, they can go to the fields to pick a handful of purslane and a handful of dandelions, wash them clean, boil them in water for 10 minutes, filter them, and use them to clean the private parts. Purslane and dandelion are both detoxifying and blood-cooling substances, and can also deal with bacteria in the private parts.
