This one will blow your mind. The little magical stick that you buy to keep odors away might actually make it worse. Some ingredients in deodorants can encourage smelly bacterial growth by feeding it.

The same goes for certain soap — the very thing you use to avoid smelling like a gym sock. Instead of using products with counteractive ingredients, try showering with some lemon juice diluted with water and apple cider vinegar. Tea tree is also a great natural antifungal ingredient to look for in soaps and deodorants.
