Everyone has a unique body odour, which can be pleasant or subtle, but when we think of body odour it’s usually associated with an unpleasant smell.
Body odour develops when lipids (fats) secreted in the sweat are digested by bacteria on the skin. This process causes gasses to be released as a by-product, creating toxic waste, which contributes to body odour.
Body odour can change due to hormonal changes, excessive sweating or poor hygiene, but sudden changes are typically caused by environmental factors, medications or the foods we eat.
