Why am I smelling and sweating more now?!
Question: Why am I smelling and sweating more now.?
I am an 18 year old boy who for the last few years probably hasn't showered as often as I should. Nowadays I shower more regularly but for some reason I notice the smell of sweat more than I ever did.
Does anyone know why this is.? Any tips.?

Well, a few factors could contribute to this...
- Being a teenager, this change could be due to hormonal changes. You may just have to wait it out.
- Have you changed your diet lately.? For example, spicy food can make you sweat more. Some other food can affect your odour. You can think of keeping a food diary for a few days if you suspect this might be the case.
- When is the last time you changed the type of deodorant that you use.? Apparently, you should change the type you use every 6 months or so as your body gets accustomed to what you use on a regular basis. If you use a deodorant (used to mask the odour), then you may also want to switch to a anti-perspirant (used to reduce the sweating, with the fragrance also masking the odour).
- Have you tried showering in the morning rather than at night.?
- Finally, you may simply have become more self-aware/self-conscious lately... Any recent crush.? ;)
