* Wash your clothes regularly. The same bacteria from your
skin can also live on sweaty clothes and keep the smell
alive.

* Use a deodorant or anti-perspirant. Deodorants cover up
bad smells with good ones, and anti-perspirants temporarily
block bacteria from getting into the sweat glands so you
don't sweat as much.

* Dust with talcum powder or cornstarch after bathing.
These
products absorb sweat to keep you drier and prevent
bacteria from growing.

* Cut your caffeine intake. Cola, coffee, tea, chocolate,
and other foods and drinks with caffeine make apocrine
sweat
glands more active.

* Eat a balanced diet and drink lots of water. What you eat
can actually affect how you smell! You'll be less stinky if
you eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. And drinking lots
of water keeps eccrine glands active to dilute the scent.
