Sweet scented

Explore your beauty wardrobe to choose the best fragrance for you:

The perfume you wear matters a lot. Experts point out that certain scents react badly when they mix with heat and sweat, leading to foul body odour. Here are some tips to help you select the right aromas for this season:

* You simply have to change fragrances according to the weather because the ones used in colder weather are heavy and tend to clog your pores and this leads to body odour.

* Always test the fragrance before you buy it. What smells good on someone else need not smell great on you.

* Choose colognes and eau-de-toilettes which are lighter. The only problem is that you may need to reapply them often.

* Layer your fragrance-use a soap/ shower gel, body splash, talc of the same fragrance or complementary ones so that the aromas last longer.

* If you think that layering is not your style, then the best thing to do is use a scented powder that matches your perfume. This is also an easy way to keep yourself sweat-proof.
