AI reveals the best soap for removing 'old smell' from the body

Avoiding the so-called "old-man smell" has become a common concern for many adults. And although it is a natural process associated with changes in the skin and the production of certain substances as we age, there is a growing demand for effective products to maintain a feeling of freshness and well-being. What does artificial intelligence (AI) recommend?

After analyzing ingredients, user reviews, dermatological studies, and availability in the Colombian market, ChatGPT highlights sulfur soap with aloe vera as one of the most effective options for eliminating persistent body odor associated with aging. This type of soap combines two key properties:

- Sulfur, known for its antibacterial and natural deodorant power.

- Aloe vera , which helps soothe, hydrate, and regenerate mature or sensitive skin. Various local and pharmacy brands offer presentations with this combination, especially recommended for adults who want to maintain clean, fresh, and scent-neutral skin throughout the day. The AI ​​also suggests complementing its use with clean, natural-fiber clothing, good ventilation in closed spaces, and adequate hydration, factors that contribute to naturally controlling body odor.

The steps to shower and get rid of the smell

As the specialized website Mejor con Salud states, good body hygiene is key to maintaining healthy skin and eliminating unpleasant odors that can accumulate throughout the day. And although showering seems like an everyday, automatic act, following some basic steps can make a difference in the effectiveness of your bath and personal care.

Here are 5 steps to keep your body fresh longer and prevent the development of persistent odors:

1) Choose the frequency and length of shower carefully : It's not always necessary to shower every day, especially if you live in a temperate climate and don't engage in strenuous physical activity. If you choose to shower daily, it's important to keep your shower time to 10 minutes or less to avoid drying out your skin.

2) Adjust the water temperature: Lukewarm water is ideal. Bathing in very hot water can strip your skin of its natural oils, leaving it dry and prone to irritation. The recommended temperature is between 35 and 37 degrees Celsius.

3) Use shampoo responsibly : It's not necessary to wash your hair every day. Washing your hair every two or three days is enough to keep it clean and healthy, protecting the scalp's natural oils. When applying shampoo, it's best to use your fingertips, massaging gently.

4) Be careful with sponges : Although they can help exfoliate your skin, sponges can also harbor bacteria if not properly cleaned and dried. Using a clean towel or simply your hands can be just as effective and safer.

5) Don't forget your feet: Feet require special attention. They need to be scrubbed with soap and rinsed properly, as they are often areas where sweat, bacteria, and dead skin cells accumulate.
