i want to preface this by saying that i have good hygiene and don't smell bad but i find that even if i layer scented bodywash and perfumes i don't smell at all. like ive had multiple people tell me i smell like nothing and i find that guys like when girls smell good, so how do i maintain a good scent? ive tried the vaseline thing and scented body oil and it never lasts longer than 30 minutes. how do i fix this?
this is literally all i care about so ill give you my routine and if you need anymore help lmk
first thing in the shower wash with dove bar soap every single day; occasionally the dial gold antibacterial bar soap to switch it up to get rid of bacteria
every other day use an exfoliating scrub; i use dove the coco butter one and vanilla one smell very nice but you can smell and decide what you like
and then shave whenver you feel like you need to i do like every three days for the bottom half of my legs and arms and full body shave like every four days
some body parts are better to wax and shave i wax my bikini and underarms because hair can collect bacteria and make you smell there; its super easy to do at home
to shave i like to use the eos vanilla cashmere shave oil but any shaving cream/oil will do
after that use your regular scented body wash; i like the philosophy ones but just choose something in the same scent family as all your other frags so everything smells somewhat similar
last thing in the shower is shower oil; not completely necessary but makes your skin softer + the l'occitane one smells and feels so luxurious you'll feel like a princess
right after the shower slather yourself in a lotion or body butter; body butters for the days you shave
on top of that use either a body oil OR i rlly like the lush massage bars they melt into an oil on your skin; you dont need oil every day tho i again use that like every 3/4 days usually when i do a full body shave
another helpful thing to balance your ph is using glycolic acid on your underarms/bikini before you wax as an exfoliant it kills bacteria
and then spray yourself with a body mist yay
