有 一天在網路上看到有人在分享用含有BHA 成分的身體乳抹一點在腋下, 可以杜絕汗臭味, 想到自己夏天一到腋下總是一片溼, 要是吃了太多洋蔥大蒜青蔥咖哩等調味的食物, 那味我只能說妙不可言…還等甚麼? 立刻就買來試試看.
One day, I came across someone sharing that applying a body lotion containing BHA to the underarms can help eliminate body odor. Since my underarms always get super sweaty during the summer and it gets even worse after eating foods like onions, garlic, scallions, curry, and other spices. So I gave it a try and bought one to test for myself.
朋友們, 我必須打從心底告訴你們, 這真是我本年度最好的投資之一! 用的時候只需要擠出一點點 (差不多黃豆大小), 抹在腋下兩邊, 多的也可以擦在身體, 一整天在外面跑跳, 上衣真的都不會有甚麼汗臭味留下.
WOW! I must say this has honestly been one of my best purchases of the year! Only applying about the size of a soybean to both armpits. You may apply any extra on the body as well. Guess what! My clothes barely retain any sweaty odor at all.
我買的是Paula’s Choice Weightless Body Treatment 2% BHA (如下). 稍微研究一下發現BHA具有抗菌效用, 腋下又剛好是個容易堆積皮膚角質跟細菌的地方, 之所以會有異味是因為這些細菌跟我們的汗水混合後導致產生的. 所以使用BHA來抑制細菌也就能間接減少異味產生囉!
The one I bought was the Paula’s Choice Weightless Body Treatment 2% BHA (shown below). After doing a bit of research, I found that BHA has antibacterial properties. Since the underarm area is especially prone to the buildup of dead skin cells and bacteria, odor tends to develop when those bacteria mix with our sweat. So by using BHA to help control bacteria, it can indirectly reduce body odor as well!
要是手邊沒有這類的乳液呢? 我也跟其他網友們發現, 用有加了水楊酸的洗臉乳一樣有抗菌除臭的功效喔! 可以在洗澡時拿來搓洗腋下跟身體容易出汗甚至長痘的地方, 比如髮際跟背後, 真的會比較清爽沒有異味呢! 另外, 也有網友們說其實其他酸類, 比如果酸(Alpha Hydroxy Acid) 或是杏仁酸 (Mandelic Acid)也能有抗菌除臭的效果. 大家如果剛好手上有, 不妨也拿出來試試看, 物盡其用, 就不需要額外花錢買囉!
What if you don’t have this kind of body lotion on hand? I’ve also seen other people mention that facial cleansers containing salicylic acid can provide similar antibacterial and deodorizing effects! You can use them in the shower to clean your underarms and other areas that tend to sweat a lot or break out easily, such as along the hairline and on your back. It really does leave you feeling fresher and helps reduce unwanted odor.
Some people also say that other acids, like Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) or Mandelic Acid, can have similar odor-fighting and antibacterial benefits. So if you already have products with these ingredients at home, it might be worth giving them a try and making good use of what you already own — no need to spend extra money! 🙂

最後要溫馨提醒, 如果白天塗抹BHA 或是AHA這些酸類保養品在臉上或是四肢, 會容易因為它們增加了皮膚對紫外線的敏感性進而造成對皮膚的傷害. 所以, 要記得防曬唷!!
Last one that I want to remind you guys. If you apply skincare products containing BHA or AHA acids on your face or body during the daytime, they can make your skin more sensitive to UV rays and potentially increase sun damage. So don’t forget to wear sunscreen!!!
