In the summer, we often encounter one small annoying nuisance - the smell of sweat from others. Deodorants, it would seem, are designed to solve this problem, but not everyone is in a hurry to use them. A conversation on a delicate topic may seem unacceptable, but fresh air and good mood will return, and the very source of the bad smell will save its reputation.
You need to know the enemy by sight. Sweat odor can be caused by a variety of reasons, both personal hygiene and certain medical conditions. It should be understood that even a morning shower and deodorant are sometimes not enough so that the smell does not appear after a few hours. Most likely, his "source" is unaware of his "fragrance" or cannot cope with it. And, for sure, he does not smell of evil for everyone. So try to put yourself in his shoes before taking any action.
It is best if you tell your friend, friend, or colleague directly that they have a sweating problem that is causing discomfort to those around you. Hints can be misunderstood or even aggressive. Sticking up your nose, spraying air freshener, and talking behind your back will not do the trick. At the same time, you risk ruining your relationship with a good person and being branded as a rude person.
The conversation should take place in private in a relaxed atmosphere. You might say, “Look, I’m embarrassed to talk about this and I don’t want to offend you in any way, but lately you have been smelling of sweat. I know that we ourselves sometimes do not notice this, with whom it does not happen. But you definitely need to take some measures to combat the smell."
You can search the internet yourself for helpful tips to combat odor and perspiration. In a conversation, mention this as your own experience or the experience of your loved ones: "I, too, used to be terribly worried about the smell, and then when I began to use" Nepoteyka "(I visited a doctor / began to take a shower more often), the problem instantly disappeared" … If a friend claims that he does not tolerate "any chemistry", advise him natural antiperspirants, lemon wedges, soda, etc.
It also happens that an unpleasant aroma overtakes us in public places and transport. You are completely unfamiliar with the odorous citizen and you want to run away from him for a kilometer. In this case, it is really better to retire. You can open a window or move further, but it is better to refrain from caustic comments on the entire bus. It is unlikely that this person has the opportunity to get off at the next stop and take a shower, and your words will disgrace him in front of others.
Be tolerant, but don't test your patience. If the problem can be solved, then it must be solved. Most likely, you will only be grateful.
