I'm so sick of people telling me that I need to shower daily when I already do!
It's freaking hot here in Hell, I mean Australia.
So people see me in the mid afternoon at work and expect me to smell like I just stepped out of the shower.
I stepped out of the shower 8 hours ago so don't expect me to smell like I stepped out 5 minutes ago.
They say "you need to shower daily" Well duuuuuh! Thank you captain obvious! I've never heard of that before!
Then they say "you need to wear deodorant". Thanks again captain obvious! I've already put on deodorant 5 times today!
Maybe if they're stupid pointless dresscode didn't say I have to wear suit pants and a button up shirt I wouldn't get as hot and then I wouldn't stink as much!
It's a 40 degree day and they make me dress like it's winter and they act surprised that I sweat.
This business style clothing originated in England and was not designed for the Australian climate. So why do businesses in Australia want us to wear this stuff?
Anyway, sweat only pools on skin that is not exposed to the air. On skin that is covered the sweat pools more a more until stinky bacteria grows in it.
On skin that is not covered the sweat evaporates after about 10 seconds so the stinky bacteria doesn't have time to grow.
Western culture needs to go back to Europe, I'd rather dress like aborigine!
I ditched store-bought deodorant years ago.
They don't work and they're loaded with chemicals.
For many years I used lemon juice in a small spray bottle (kept it in the fridge -
very fresh in winter). It works really well.
Now I use plain baking powder. Dampen under your arms and apply enough to lightly coat the underarm.
Also, you need to be aware that if you shower at night, that's when you need to put on the deodorant, otherwise enough bacteria will form overnight that you will stink even when you use it.
Australia is a bloody tough country.
