Do your armpits smell like an onion? Why you need a pit detox...

Many women have asked why sometimes they smell like onions.

Please read to understand why men and women's sweat smell different and what you can do about it.

Men Smell Like Cheese, Women Smell Like Onions

Body odor (BO) is not fun, either in private or social situations. If always present, it must be dealt with daily as BO is the target of endless jokes in bad taste.

A research team in Switzerland recently took a close look at how human BO is processed by the olfactory system and the brain. This research analyzed armpit sweat from two dozen men and 25 women after each person had been in a sauna or ridden an exercise bike for 15 minutes.

The sweat from women contained high levels of a sulfur-(5 milligrams per milliliter of sweat versus 0.5 milligrams in men) compound that had no odor. The bacteria commonly found in armpits turn this compound into another one known as thiol that smells like onions.

Men have only one tenth of the female amount of their odorless armpit sweat compound - a fatty acid in men. When male armpit bacteria process this fatty acid, the result is a compound that smells like cheese, although men are not able to generate the highest levels of unpleasant ‘malodor’ that can be synthesized by women.

The researchers found marked differences in the sweat from men and women.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP ODOR

(scroll down to see Bare Pits products that will help instantly)

1. Acidify Your Skin

Did you know that your skin is supposed to have an acidic pH? Our skin has an acid mantle caused by the natural oils that our body produces. This acid mantle is a protection against environmental toxins and foreign bacteria. Unfortunately, many people regularly destroy their acid mantle with conventional soap. If you want your skin to be healthy and free of odoriferous bacteria, you need to restore your acid mantle at least under your armpits (for a start). Use the recipe below to make an armpit rinse that will promote your acid mantle. Do this for a few days.

Apple Cider Vinegar and Water (50/50) – I suggest using –> Braggs ACV and water as an armpit rinse.

The ACV is anti-bacterial and anti-fungal. In addition, adding an acid to your armpits will help to restore your acid mantle! Bye bye stinky bacteria!

2. Stop Using Store Bought Soap on your Armpits

THIS IS A MIRACLE SOAP!

Naturally kills bacteria, soothes your skin, and moisturizes.

Using the ACV rinse will definitely be a start toward its restoration; however, you cannot keep stripping your natural oils and healthy bacteria from your armpits and expect to be odor free. The natural oils under your arms will help fight the bacteria that causes body odor and once you stop using soap you have natural bacteria that live on your skin and will keep away bad bacteria. If you want to completely get rid of the bacteria that cause body odor, then you must stop using soap on your armpits.

Not only does the soap remove all the natural oils and good bacteria, but it also leaves behind a film. The bacteria not only eat the sweat that is excreted from your pores, but it also eats the film left over from your soap.

The bacteria are feasting on your sweat and soap and leaving you with a stinky present. Leave the soap behind (at least for your armpits) for two weeks and see how your body changes in response. You probably won’t go back. Bare Pits natural pit shaving cream is coming soon.

Note: Also avoid getting your shampoo on your armpits. This is also alkalizing and should be avoided.
