You can also explore holistic care at HiiMS Shuddigram, where natural wellness meets expert guidance. Let’s check out 4 dermatologist-approved ways to feel fresh all day long!

Tip 1: Start Your Morning with a Herbal Bath

Begin your day with a refreshing herbal bath using cooling ingredients like:

• Rose petals: They soothe your skin, reduce sweat, and leave a mild floral scent behind.
  
• Neem leaves: Neem is antibacterial and helps fight body odor and skin infections like heat rashes.
  

Pro tip: Bath twice a day during summer to stay clean and refreshed.

Tip 2: Go Natural with Deodorants and Ubtans

Instead of harsh chemical deodorants, try these natural options:

• Sandalwood powder: Keeps you cool and adds a gentle, calming fragrance.
  
• Alum (Phitkari): Naturally fights bacteria and tightens pores to reduce sweating.
  
• Multani Mitti: Absorbs excess oil and sweat, leaving your skin dry and clean.
  

Dermatologist’s note: Natural powders are safer for your skin and last longer in the heat.

Tip 3: Dress Smart for the Weather

The clothes you wear can make a big difference.

• Go for light fabrics like cotton or linen—they’re breathable and help keep your body cool.
  
• Choose loose-fitting outfits to avoid trapping sweat and reduce chances of skin irritation or fungal infections.
  

Style tip: Stick to light colors—they reflect sunlight and help you stay cool.

Tip 4: Cleanse from Within – Eat to Detox

Sweating is natural, but toxins in your body can make the odor worse. Detox from the inside out:

• Eat more cooling foods like watermelon, cucumber, buttermilk, mint, lemon water, and coconut water.
  
• Avoid spicy, oily, or processed foods—they increase body heat and trigger bad odor and breakouts.
  

Bonus: A clean diet doesn’t just help with odor—it boosts your energy and skin glow too!

Final Thoughts

Staying fresh during summer is about more than hygiene—it’s about feeling good in your body. From herbal baths and natural deodorants to smart clothing choices and clean eating, small changes can make a big difference.
