12. Practice Good Anger Management. Anger, anxiety and excitement increase sweat production. If you’ve felt that prickling under your arms at the beginning of a big exam or when someone panic stops in the car ahead of you on the interstate, you know about stress-induced sweating. Consider learning and practicing techniques like meditation and visualization that can help you keep your cool under stressful circumstances. This is a winner on a number of levels: You’ll help control your body’s sweat response using natural techniques; you’ll save your wardrobe; and as an added bonus, you’ll be practicing a little Zen action at the same time.

13. Towel Off Thoroughly. Once you’ve showered, be sure you dry yourself completely. Towel off and make sure you dry any areas where you sweat a lot.
If your skin is dry, it’s harder for bacteria that cause body odor to breed on it.
14. Keep the armpits clean – wash them regularly using anti-bacterial soap, and the number of bacteria will be kept low, resulting in less body odor. Hair under the armpits slows a large concentration of apocrine glands exist in the armpits, making that area susceptible to rapid development down the evaporation of sweat, giving the bacteria more time to break it down into smelly substances; shaving the armpits regularly has been found to help body odor control in that area.
15. Clothing – natural fibers allow your skin to breathe, resulting in better evaporation of sweat. Natural-made fibers include wool, silk or cotton.

Instructions for Making Homemade Deodorant
Mix about 1/4 c. baking soda and 1/4 c. cornstarch or arrowroot starch in a small bowl.
Add unrefined coconut oil, not melted, about a Tablespoon at a time, mashing with a fork until all the dry ingredients have been mixed in. I find it takes 4-6 Tablespoons.
Optional: If you’d like a scent, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil at this time.
You could use this mixture as is and apply with your fingertips, but it’s pretty messy.
Best option: use an old deodorant container.
