1) brush twice day. 2)floss once a day. 3) scrap your tongue twice a day. 4)use deodorant twice (I prefer roll on deodrant) 5)use loofah while taking shower. 6) apply lotion to your body. 7) wash your hairs with shampoo in every 2-3 days. 8) apply perfume. (You can check brands like armaf, lattafa, rasasi, if you don't wanna break your bank).
Here's my few cents: Showering - Use a loofah, never EVER just use your hands. Trust me, it doesn't work as good, you will smell a lot cleaner & stay a lot cleaner for longer if you use a loofah, ESPECIALLY under your armpits. I've refused to use one all my life, until around 2 years ago. It changed everything. My back is finally free of any zits and everything, my skin is smooth and just perfect. Just don't use it in your face. Anywhere else is totally fine. I also recommend this one if you're a bit lazy - Throw a second loofah onto the ground, it's gonna be your feet-loofah. It'll make sure that your feet are clean clean, too. And keep it that way, don't use it for your body. Also you don't have to buy extremely expensive overpowering bodywashes like this dude. Get a rather neutral thing like Nivea with good cleaning abilities. Also WASH YOUR DAMN ASS AND LEGS AND BACK. Girls will thank you and stay with you. Same about feet. Colognes - You don't always have to buy the most expensive brands. Inform yourself, get into dupes, fragrance-clones, I own a few branded ones like Tom Ford or PdM, but I also own lots of "clones" that smell just like the real deal, sometimes even better. Trust me, don't waste money. Especially with basic designer fragrances like Sauvage, Azzaro line, that stuff. It's boring, everyone smells like it, you won't stand out. Get into the fragrance community and you'll find a whole new world. Make yourself special, stand out. Also, as he said, never use too much. Some colognes need more, some less. You WILL turn noseblind after a few minutes, your colonge will NEVER smell to you like it smells to others, because you're ALWAYS around it. Noseblindness is completely normal, just like you're used to your messy stinky room, you won't smell it. Others do. Trust me. It stinks BAD. Deodorant - Neutral. Never ever buy scented deodorant. It's the worst thing ever. Get a 72h deodorant, either spray or gel, I always recommend Nivea 72h. It's neutral, slightly floral, but you'll never ever smell like sweat again, and if you sweat, it won't smell too. Why? Because you don't have several nasty ass fragrances sitting between your arms, which will just WORSEN the smell big time. BUY NEUTRAL DEODORANTS! Clothes - Always remove your clothes out the washer as soon as they're done. Maximum 3 hours, not more, you should've taken them out by them. Otherwise they will start having a funky old closet smell. Hair - Conditioner. Conditioner, conditioner, conditioner. Just shampoo won't make your hair smell good, it may only smell good for an hour. Conditioner will keep your hair fresh for DAYS ( You should still wash them though). Privates - Get a good anti bacterial wash for your private parts. Something with tea tree oil. It'll keep you fresh and neat down there, you'll NEVER have to worry about smells again. Especially a huge tip for my foreskin-owners. You still have to keep your hygiene, but a good wash WITH TEA TREE OIL will remove any long lasting smells that may have bugged you. Just make sure it's a wash, and not straight up oil, because it'll harm you. These are a few of my tips. Depending on your skin I'd also maybe use lotion, but it's not important at all. Just follow these things, don't mix up tons of scented stuff, stay NEUTRAL with most of your stuff, just make sure it works. Your cologne should always be the scent of you, not your bodywash or deodorant, because that's what children do. With lots of regards, a dude who's 100% straight so you don't have to act like I'm some gay dude, which is absolutely stupid. I'd talk to some gay people if you have problems with your hygiene, because they will upgrade you to a different level. That's how I learned all of this, and trust me - It works. Gay dudes are angels and lifesavers, they want you to have game.
As a woman i recommend always remember to wash your hands properly at least every time after using the loo. I also believe that cheap cosmetics are not bad or even worse than some more expensive ones. It is worth paying attention to their composition, not the price. Shampoos for the scalp, not the hair. And change your sheets every week.
@@seekingdeen. I respect you a lot for that. In my country, there are still many people (most are educated and earn enough or a lot of money and they have money for water, soap) who do not wash their hands after the toilet or at all. In my opinion, practicing the basic principles of hygiene, i.e. washing yourself every day and washing your hands after using the toilet at least, makes people attractive. Take care 👋
@@bilaltariq2364 If I have access then yes. Otherwise (maybe not the best alternative, but in "emergency" situations, i.e. away from home, in a hotel) I use wet toilet paper. Or/and I just wash myself in the shower.
I don't think most guys realize how important smell is. In many cases, good face and bad smell is on level with bad face and good smell. It's your aroma: it immediately gives them an impression of your personality and habits.
A tip I might add: I always spray cologne in my wardrobe/wherever I store my clothes. My clothes catch the scent when I want to put them on and it's amazing.
If your armpits smell badly even after showering, you should try applying a small amount of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) while your armpits are still wet. I've been using this trick for months and some of my classmates started doing the same.
If I had to recommend 3 inexpensive colognes to start out with, I would say Drakkar Noir (work, gym, everyday), Nautica Voyage (summertime, aquatic), and Versace Eros EDP (date night, formal). Some might disagree with that list, but I personally really like those fragrances. My man kinda just skimmed over the cologne selection and said "Buy Tom Ford and Creed," which are great brands, but also some of the most expensive out there.
Versace Eros for a formal situation immediately showcases you dont know much about fragrances. This one is loud and intrusive, in an official setting you want to smell clean and subtle
@@johnfrazier5458 Don't get me wrong, Eros is a top notch fragrance and women will love it on you. I said that for a formal occasion, for example the office, you definitely shouldnt be wearing Eros.
@@broadcast3ful I understand. When I think of formal, I think of going to church or a wedding, but in a business setting I would agree that Eros is not the way to go. As a serious question though, what would you personally recommend is a good formal fragrance?
@@johnfrazier5458 If you go to a church with Eros..... Jesus, it can be like... well going to church with one million. That heavily depends on how you spray, most people underspray so no one smells them, but a beast like eros or 1 million, even 3 sprays can choke people out in close quarters. For formal fragrances, you usually want something that isnt too intrusive in terms of smell. Something that smells clean and doesnt project too much, and it doesnt have notes that can be easily disliked like leather and heavy ambroxan. Green irish tweed, Bvlgari man, prada lhomme, acqua di gio profumo (a bit more risky but can be pulled off), blue de channel etc
Another thing for underarm odor-if you have an acid for acne treatment like AHA or BHA, such as in Stridex wipes, you can wipe it under your pits before showering to help kill the stinky bacteria. Then soap under there, moisturize and apply deodorant. It's important to pay attention to parts that contribute to stink disproportionately. No nasty pits or swampass or grimy scalp
when shampooing, dont forget to wash twice especially if you have coarser or thicker hair and dont shampoo very often. this will allow proper cleansing. if your first wash didnt make bubbles in some places, your second wash should make bubbles and if it doest, just wash it as many times needed for it to form those bubbles
One important thing you missed is diet. Eating alkaline food is vital for reducing bacteria production on your body, on places like armpits, toes, and genitalia; hence reducing bad odor
Brush your teeth for 2 minutes, 2 or 3 times a day and WITHOUT rinsing with water or mouthwash. Doing so washes the fluoride off your teeth, which is the main mineral in your toothpaste that is going to be preventing tooth decay. And obviously floss once a day.
My best advice is to have multiple colognes like 3 or 4 and use a different one every day so it's impossible for people to get used to your smell and that makes you smell good already. For the rest just be clean and shower, brush your teeth and all those kinds of things
It doesnt matter what you do, if you go outside in summer when it's 30+ degrees celsius and you were born with genetics so that you sweat from the lightest heat/movement even when you're in good physical shape, you're going to sweat and smell.
This doesn't matter if you sweat a lot and have a bad body oddor. I can have fresh bed sheets, just showered, and the moment i start sweating its over.
You're missing alot. Always clip your nails once a week too. Oil your hair, a light scented oil. I use Vatika Black Seed. Clean your ears. Use good fabric conditioner. Change your socks and boxers daily, preferably your shirt too. Clothes that can go longer like Jeans, be careful with when you wear them so they don't pick up spills and smells. If they do, wash them. Keep your shoes clean, not just on the outside, but, inside too. Shave your balls and armpit hairs or at least trim them down and groom. Groom your hair and beard. Keep your car clean and smelling nice too. If you're in rain, don't just rely on drying your clothes, sometimes rain leaves an odour. Make sure you're not living in a damp place. And, don't mingle with dirty stuff unless you have your 'work clothes on'. Shower after hard labour and gym. Mouth wash after eating a meal.
Bruh i was getting bullied from the first day i entered school at 6yo and now im on my last year on school (18yo) and i discovered that i got bullied cuz of my smell last year, i mean my childhood was destroyed by bullying and now im traumatized and i litterly freak out whenever i feel like my smell is bad or i feel like people are taking space or cover their mouth evnif its for 1sec or if it isnt intentionally, ik no one cares about what im typing but this topic maybe is embarrassing to people to talk about but 1min of embarrassing discussion maybe can save someone from hating his existence or the day that he got born in, imagine u dont have friends (and family), not social, doesnt experience most of the fun that kids in the same age got, destroyed childhood and mental health, useless personality thats full of traumas and mental illnesses, and being known in the whole society for ur bad smell, u can save someone of this miserable life just by talking to them and showing them how to break their bad habits.
1.) Keep living quarters clean. It will help you smell way better. 2.) Brush teeth. Use a tongue scraper, floss and use non-alcholic mouth wash. 3.) Don't just use shampoo when you shower. Use conditioner accoridn got hair thickness. 4.) Have a bidet 5.) The right cologne for the right place
Genuine question. Do some of your advices really work broadly, especially if we are talking about Men here? I'm not judging, but since we are talking 'bout men, some of use do have high intensity activities on daily. I love outdoor activities, but mostly running 4-6 days a week and farming. For example, does shampoo every 2-3 really relevant? Or do you have any recommendation for such case? Thanks man.
I havent used a deodorant for 6 months. I actually smell better. I shower if I sweat too much. I suspect woman like mens smell not deoderant and showering keeps you clean anyway. Im sure my wife would be quick to complain if it wasnt working.
great video! one issue though. you can DEFINITELY go wrong with deodorant. get a deodorant with no aluminum, I.E. not an anti perspirant deodorant. aluminum intake through the skin has been linked to alzheimer’s, so watch out for your own health.
This is the kind of content boys should start watching, it teaches us the importance of proper hygiene and self-care, simple things that are usually not taught and applied by many, awesome content dude!
I'm semi-conflicted, I like to take showers daily but my family loves trying to make fun of me for taking showers daily so sometimes I'll wait a day or 2. I prolly should just ignore them and shower daily since that shouldnt even be a question, I do boxing and calisthenics so I get sweaty on a daily basis so I dont want to smell, its a no brainer for me to shower daily.
Bro no one should be making fun of you for showering daily, there’s nothing wrong with that. Maybe if you’re trying to go on like a ecological sense I could see why someone would have an issue, but taking care of yourself and your personal hygiene is completely okay bro 🤙
i honestly forgot about this comment but i’m going to change it because a lot more people than i expected saw it. i don’t use antibacterial soap anymore; turns out doing so could be harmful in the long run since constant use of it will just create bacteria that are resistant to it. INSTEAD, exfoliate where you tend to get body odor. i use a sugar scrub for my armpits (dr. teals is really good and only like $10), and that gets rid of any odor there since it removes buildup of deodorant and sweat. there’s also exfoliating gloves and other alternatives for sugar scrubs if you don’t want that.
@@acewolf1 the skin across most of your body has good/healthy bacteria. a regular/mild soap or body wash should be enough to keep you sufficiently clean there. killing that harmless bacteria across most of your body is unnecessary. i recommend the antibacterial soap specifically for places that tend to smell worse if bacteria builds up there: armpits, feet, and the genital area. if you have body acne or you sweat lot of both, there are body washes specifically meant to help with body acne. if you just sweat a lot or live in a hot region, then you may just need to get a somewhat stronger soap, but antibacterial is probably overkill. maybe you just have dead skin buildup and need exfoliation? if you really can’t find anything else that works for what you need though, and you keep the antibacterial soap periodic like you said, then just try to moisturize after using it all over.
If you grapple like many Americans, then you'll want to use antibacterial/antimicrobial soap to get rid of staph bacteria and ring worm. Defense soap is a legit brand. Once you get it on yourself, apply an additional coat of lather with your favorite hydrating soap. Some soap that does hydrate well doesn't kill bacteria that causes skin infections
Working out and getting into shape and doing cardio I believe can help a lot with sweating, keeps your body fat low so you don’t sweat as much and allows you to walk further without smelling and doing other things, also staying hydrated can help too
@@jesusisking3814 no offense but no one is going to read all that, maybe another method of gospel would be more useful bc tbh spamming like that will just annoy others, at least they will ignore it and at worst they will fight although maybe that's what you are looking for.
No, Creed is not known for producing long lasting scents. Just had to comment that to prevent the spread of misinformation. Creed within the fragrance community is the most overrated niche house and is notorious for producing overpriced scents that doesn't last.
@@sociopath2108 sure. Initio Side Effect. Xerjoff Naxos. Parfums de Marly Carlisle. Chanel Allure Homme Blanche. Xerjoff Torino21. Xerjoff Mefisto Gentiluomo. Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Satin Mood Extrait
@@sociopath2108 btw there’s many cheaper scents out there ( no super cheap, I’ll avoid those. I’m talking like $90-$140 range). Most important thing is to find something that you love and that is pretty versatile for your first scent as well as being decent lasting. Test scents before buying. Good luck🙌
Pretty good guide. To take things a step further, I’d also like to recommend: - Always having a good mint, breath spray or gum on you at all times (Although constantly chewing gum isn’t the best thing for your teeth long-term) - A clean, masculine scented lotion that complements your scent profile (i.e. Bevel) - A high-quality body wash with a long lasting scent (I like Bevel and Old Spice Gentleman’s Blend) - Along with washing your hair semi-frequently, a nice-smelling leave in conditioner or hair spray never hurts - Don’t just wash your clothes with detergent, also use a scented fabric softener and add scented dryer sheets to your dryer load - Have an extra bottle of every-day cologne in your car or bag so that you can top-up throughout the day - Keep your body hair in check, stank lives in hair (especially under your pits) - Bonus: Crop Preserver Ball Deodorant by Manscaped to keep your huevos from getting sweaty and stankin’ Stay smooth, fellas. Let me know if I missed anything.
Everything you said was great, but just don't let your cologne sit in the car especially if it's hot outside. It will ruin it. Colognes are usually stored in cold places for example mini fridge to prevent it from heat. Good thing you shared all this tips for people who need it. Cheers!
Body odor really matters. I went to my friend’s house (he smokes quite a lot) and slept there for a only one night. It took me 3 days to get rid of that smell.
Out of all the years I've been watching RU-vid videos, this is the FIRST video I've seen that gives great advice for personal hygiene. Loved this video, especially the fact that it's straightforward and doesn't try to use awkward terminology to get the point across. Great informative video.
As someone who has been called “obsessed with cleanliness” and “weird” for having a washing schedule for my pillows, and “taking forever brushing my teeth”, you’re 100% on point here. Pro-tip: use exfoliating washing gloves, you will scrape off dead skin cells DAILY for the evening shower, and your bed sheets will remain fresh for much longer; and the subsequent morning shower can be quick and STILL complete
@@kiktik2413 nah lol once a day, the morning shower is taken place without the scrubber or else, and you are correct, i WOULD def have skin problems I should have been specific in mentioning that the exfoliating gloves are only for the evening shower, hence the morning one is quicker
Please do not brush your teeth for more than 2 minutes, any more than 3 minutes will literally start scraping off your tooth enamel and even showering twice a day is really bad for your skin
I've been doing all of these things and I like to believe I usually smell good, but what messes everything up for me is external smells. Like when I go to a restaurant, when I or someone else is cooking etc, I feel like the smell really absorbs into my clothes and even my skin, even after only 5 minutes. Maybe I have a sensitive nose but it annoys the hell out of me and there's nothing I can do about it aside from wearing fresh clothes (which is usually not an option except at home) or spray more perfume which gets overpowering
Certain smells hang around you more than others because of their chemical makeup. Seafood is notorious for this, especially salmon. If you eat salmon your clothes WILL smell like it for the next couple days unless you wash them.
Dont eat fried foods and fatty meats. When i was in college i legitimately smelled like shit because my dumbass would eat french fries, burgers, chicken tenders, pizza, and lots of heavy junk food every single meal. Not only did that make me unhealthy and out of shape, i got disgusting bacne from it. That heavy fat slop will ruin your gut biome and you will always smell bad. It got to a point where the professor would nonchalantly spray febreeze in my area. I ate veggies and and healthier foods and i recovered. It took a lot of work to stop being that gross person
if bidet at home isn't available, I wonder how hard for some people to wash thoroughly 💩 in the shower? especially after taking a dump it is so convenient to hop on the shower.
1. Brush your teeth at least twice a day. 2. Floss twice a day (either with dental floss or a waterpik). 3. Scrap your tongue twice a day. 4. Use mouthwash twice a day. 5. Shower at least once a day with a bodywash or a bar of soap. Make sure you clean your whole body, including your butt crack and between your toes (parts that a lot of people ignore). 6. Wash your hair at least every 2-3 days. If you style your hair with product daily then wash it every night. Sleeping with product still in your hair can damage it, makes it harder to get out the next morning, and can result in bad smells. 7. Keep your clothes clean, change them daily, wash them weekly. Use scent boosters and dryer sheets to make them smell better. 8. Use deodorant or antiperspirant, especially if you are active or work out. If you are prone to sweating, then you should check out sweat blockers (Certain Dri and Sweat Block wipes are two very effective options). 9. Keep your body hair trim (armpits, chest, pubes, etc). The hair follicles can trap moisture and smell. 10. Use cologne. Make sure it smells good and DON'T OVER APPLY. Too much cologne is worse than too little cologne. Apply a spray behind each ear and maybe on the back of your neck and you're good to go. Don't waste cologne on your wrists. If your cologne doesn't have much lasting power, layer it with lotion and it will last the whole day. 11. Ball deodorant. If you are getting a lot of action, the women will appreciate you having nice smelling junk. 12. Keep your shoes clean. Dirty shoes often smell bad, so clean them regularly. Also, try shoe deodorizing spray to keep them smelling nice, and if you don't want to shell out the money, a few dryer sheets or tea bags can work. 13. Change your sheets regularly. After a while the dead skin cells and bacteria built up and you end up rolling around in them in your sleep.
I had always problems with a bad smell even right after showering. I used every kind of product to get rid of that but nothing worked for me until I started working out regularly and changed my diet ;)
I'm at a natural disadvantage in this respect, as I was born without a sense of smell. I brush twice a day, floss once a day, wear unscented antiperspirant, wash my hair 2-3x a week, shower daily, and that's about it. I go for a "smell like nothing" approach if at all possible, since I can't smell I can't judge if I think whatever scent I may have put on might not suit me.
@@fived9424 how would you describe smelling normally anyway? it'sn extremely difficult question to articulate for anyone, let alone someone who might not know wtf it means
Expensive doesn't always mean better. There are a lot of cheap/budget soaps and fragrances out there that do the trick. You don't have to wear Tom Ford or use the expensive body wash you recommend to smell good.
I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I’ll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.
I'm a teen boy and Im not able to used anything with fragrance at my dad's because he's allergic to it. So a lot of the products that he gets me work, but I just wish I could have more freedom y'know.
one moment i appreciated the most, even at the time of being a cocky 15 year old was when i was at a birthday party, 7 or 8 people and one of my friends walk up to me once everyone was out of the room and said "hey bro, im not being mean or anything but you smell" then proceeded to give me deodorant and cologne never forgot that moment and always shower DIRECTLY before an event and always carry deodorant now
another huge thing about cologne is don’t just buy the one that’s “popular or reccomended” cologne’s scent will change based on how it interacts with the oils on your body. Try it out in person always before buying it or buy a sample selection of multiple different scents so you aren’t stuck with a 400 dollar bottle of cologne that doesn’t suit you etc
I don’t think any man would really care about their hygiene if it wasn’t for our significant other, at home I would wash everyday but living alone you kinda forget until my wife showed up and literally Patrick Bateman me with new cologne and some really good shampoos and conditioners
This is the kind of advice so many guys need! I add, wash hair and body with mild products but frequently, like every day. You won’t dry out your skin if the products are mild ( and you use cool/lukewarm water). Even if your skin in greasy don’t be tempted to use harsher products; this just encourages your skin/scalp to produce more oil. Let’s also not be coy here - make sure to wash thoroughly under your foreskin (if you are uncircumcised) every day! Same goes for your butt too! Man made fibres in clothes e.g. polyesters and nylons trap bacteria and will smell, so if you wear these be careful. Also if you go to the gym - USE THE SHOWER IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS! Much better to wash off sweat and grime straightaway. I find it incredible how many guys workout then spray on deodorant and put their clothes back on. Yeuch! You won’t know it (we don’t smell our own smells very well) but you will stink - either of sweat or too much deodorant. REALLY, shower at the gym! No excuses! Finally go easy with cologne, too much is terrible, and it should never be used to cover up other smells.
@@siegfriedu By "Foot Fungus" I think you mean Athlete's Foot (or tinea pedis) which is a fungal infection. Yes, it is possible to pick this up in gym showers but the solution is simple - dry your feet thoroughly. The fungus loves warm moist environment so drying properly (and adding a little anti-fungal talc) means you will be fine. I have never been troubled by this.
@@guacamolebolt A rinse is better than nothing, but use a mild shower gel to get properly clean. Key word here is MILD, your skin does not like harsh detergents or being stripped of all oil.
theres countless self-improvement tips about mindset, lifting, meditation, etc. but a noticeable lack of something so basic and important. hygiene. im glad that this video is here for young men. theres this weird dichotomy with men's hygiene. the clean men are the actually attractive men, even if their short, or not jacked or whatever other blackpilled trait you wanna mention. but for whatever reason, hygiene is seen as feminine and often stigmatized (usually by other men). and men have a stereotype of being dirty. which is a result, and a cause of this. this is a good video, I hope the guys who need it see it. because as a high school student. they REALLY, REALLY need it. 🤢
Watched this video and bought myself a Molton Brown body wash. To say it was life changing was an understatement, especially on days where I did not feel the need to put on any perfume, yet still wanting a light pleasant scent. In the bath, it lathers up well, opening up with it's scent, yet not too overpowering. It then lingers on the skin long enough to not be projecting, but instead be an intimate scent. Clean and luxurious. It definitely would leave an impression in much more intimate settings. Should it not be for it's steep price tag, definitely an easy reccomend for everyone.
