How to actually be clean?
I shower every day. I don’t wash my hair every day because I have dyed hair but I’m starting to consider just washing it everyday. How do I actually be clean though? I get so sweaty and I have anxiety so it makes me sweat even if it’s not hot out.
I tried glycolic acid and even then I could still smell sweaty. I soap myself down with dove, then body wash, and then lotion or a body oil after. But I still feel like it’s not enough. Like it’s coming from inside or something. I can perfume myself down but what good is that? It’s like trying to perfume a wet dog, it’s just not going to mix well.
And don’t even get me started on my lady bits. Why does it get so moist down there and starts to smell like sweat. I shave because I thought it would help but nope. I’m seriously at my wits end.
I mean, no one has actually told me I smell bad (only family and usually does make sense like I just got out the gym or come home from work) but I’m worried maybe people are just sparing my feelings. And that’s the thing too, I get home from work and my clothes smell so stinky like wtf. My sister gets home and she smells and looks fine. Well she does work in an office just sitting all day and I don’t but even I’ve never noticed my co-workers clothes to smell like mine, like it just smells like sun and outside.
