I like smelling like a ball of rotten eggs, said no one ever. Everyone knows smelling nice is cool but smelling great, is just awesome.
I have spent an embarrassing amount of money chasing the perfect scent. There is only a handful of scents I constantly going back to but that’s another post for another day.
Sometimes I want to smell edible and other types I want to feel like a boss. Therefore, I have rounded up ways we can all smell great at all times.
HTSG Tip #1 👅: Brush your teeth and tongue.
Start your day with fresh breath. Get your toothbrush and toothpaste a cup of water and get to brushing. Brush your teeth thoroughly, give your tongue a good clean, gargle nicely and floss like a boss. Start and end your day with a breath that can move mountains, in a good way.
HTSG Tip #2 🚿: Take A Shower/Bath (Ghanaian Version)
Bath oo Bath! Washing with just soap and water won’t cut it. Get a good sapor and use all over your body.
Just bath, twice.
HTSG Tip #3 : Give your pits a scent.
It’s never a bad idea to use some deodorant or antiperspirant in your pits. Deodorants mostly make your pits smell good. Antiperspirants are made to help you minimize the amount of sweat you produce. There’s also the bonus product, antiperspirant deodorants that help stop the flood in your pits while making you smell nice.
HTSG Tip #4 : Do not rub your perfume in.
Spray perfume on wrists, the back of your neck, the back of your knees and other pulse points away from your face. You can also mist it into the air and walk right through it. Rubbing your perfume ruins the effect it has. For an easy everyday scent, try fresh scents with ocean like references.
HTSG Tip #5: Use an oil-based Rollerball/Perfume
Rather than carrying a bottle of your favorite perfume, cop an oil-based rollerball to use throughout the day. Oils stay on skin longer and give off a stronger scent than alcohol based ones.
HTSG Tip #6: Wash your hair frequently.
This goes to men and women reading this. Wash your hair, frequently. Wash your scalp very well to remove old skin and other debris that plan to make your scalp their home.
A good wash with a shampoo like those from Heads and Shoulders will leave your hair smelling glorious.
HTSG Tip #7: Turn the volume of your laundry up!
Let your laundry do the talking by washing your clothes frequently. Choosing detergents with great scents just make you feel better when you eventually wear them. Clean clothes are a major part of your image and how you smell.
Hang dried lavender in your closet or spray cotton balls with your favorite perfumes and stash it into your drawers.
