The hot weather is here and the past few weeks we have been in the middle of a heatwave.
Good personal hygeine is of utmost importance in this weather and should be followed religiously.
This is Eddies guide to personal hygeine so pass it onto all your work collegues, friends, family members that struggle to keep dem body smelling fresh.
Okay here goes
Daily bathing is essential be it shower or bath ideally you should be bathing twice a day in this weather particularly if you work.
when you bathe particulary in this weather it's a good idea to begin with an antibacterial soap to rid the body of bacteria and odour. Then use a deoderant shower gel / cream to give the skin a fresh scent.
Important use something you can scrub the skin with to remove the dirt from the skin. Using just your hands isn't that effective as an abrassive sponge or scrubbing brush. Somthing you can clean and exfoliate the skin with at the same time.
Major areas of concern are
Armpits, Crotch , behind ears, and anus area as these parts of the body tend to get very sweaty.
Eddies top tip  buy a toothbrush specificaly for body hygeine and use it to scrub in those hard to reach areas the crotch and it's good for scrubbing bacteria and odour away from the armpits too.
Rinse your body well as soap smells on your skin if not rinsed properly.
Dry yourself with a clean fresh towel dirty towels = smelly body
Eddies top tip After you come out of the bath or shower Stay away I repeat stay away from the talc. Talc is not a good thing to put on the skin it may smell nice but talc attracts bacteria to the skin and bacteria means smell. So if you want to stay fresh all day give the talc a wide berth.
A nice product to use when you come out of the bath or shower and dried off your clean body is Bay Rum.
Guys I been using bay Rum for over 20 years and the ladies love it  but women can use it too.
Okay now that you are fresh dry and smelling all sweet deoderant time.
You are going to need a 24 hour anti perspirant deoderant roll on for underarms. And a 24 hour anti perspirant spray too pref the same brand as your roll on.
Eddies top tip to keep your now clean crotch area, and anus area smelling fresh all day buy Gillete series clear Gel deoderant. Specifically for that purpose only it's mild and won't iritate your crotch, or anus area, don't put it directly on the anus just between your butt cheeks, and you are only putting it on lightly not heavy.
Right now you are deoderised all over creaming body time lol okay your choice on what cream to use but I would recomend Sta-sof-fro cocoa butter skin lotion it's a cheap good quality product at under £2 for a 16fl oz bottle and will last you ages and ages. Then you are free to put on cologne or eau de toilete spray whatever you use. but never put cologne on dirty body to mask BO I know a certain race of people tends to do this but I am telling you it's poor personal hygeine and nastyness.
Now the last step is where many let themselves down and that is put on clean fresh clothes on your clean fresh body.
Never I repeat never wear yesterdays clothes or wear clothes from previous day.
Clean body clean clothes
Last but not least this goes out to the ladies if you wear a weave may I suggest you bin it as weaves are not very hygeinic and attract bad odours.
I not sure if you ladies can wash your weaves as I see so many a sister these days with white bits stuck in it where it hasn't been washed since it been put in or the wind blows and you catch the bad scent of a womans weave in front of you.
Bottom line is wear a style you can keep clean as there is absolutely no point in wearing a style and your head stinks .
And to you bald brothers and sisters don't think cos you bald you don't wash your head make sure you wash your bald head daily.
Like I said at the begining print this out and pass onto all the smelly people you know.
who knows maybe it will make the world a better place as I think we all have the right to breath clean fresh air without having to smell someones Dutty Scent .
lol thanks for reading and don't be offended .

good advice Eddie Just a few more things to add that regime of yours
Those of you whom are hairy or wildibeasts may want to consider reducing your body hair in the areas such as
Crotch , Armpits,Anus area
Because it's a fact bacteria loves hairy bodies and bacteria means smell. So thats just a suggestion lol. I aint saying you should get out your imac or anything like that brothers lol, and I not saying you should shave your bits bald I just saying if you a male or female and you got a thick bush in the neather regions then the chances are you will have to work xtra harder to keep them parts fresh.
Also don't be scared to put a little dettol in your bath if you bath
Good products to use for your body.
Crusader medicated soap you can get it in usa and uk and it's normaly very reasonable. http://www.texasbeautysupplies.com/crussafsoap.html
it will remove bad body odours and clean the skin thoroughly us a body scubber or a sponge with an abbrassive end to scrub the body.
It's also worth noteing what you eat has a direct relation on how you will smell.
For example lots of spicy foods is going to give you a strong body odour. particulary garlic. We all have our own natural odour that is true. However if your natural body smell when you are clean is particularly high. Then you may want to consider looking at your diet and that may mean a dettox.
I take regular dettox regimes to expel the bad toxins from the body this has a huge effect on lots of things my skin, my colon health and, body odour.
If you eat a lot of processed food takeaways then this too will have a bearing.
A good diet and good personal hygeine program go hand in hand

Take advantage of boots 3 for two offers on deoderants and personal hygeine products. So there is no excuse for any brother or sister to be smelling on the bus, the Train, Work or anywhere for that matter.
A good soap for you guys and gals with strong body odour that needs freshning up is.
Shield Fresh Aqua http://www.shieldsoap.com/ it has a deoderising action.
So it's perfect for removing musky scents apply with a body polishing sponge. These sponges are really good and really get the skin clean and exfoliate at the same time. You can get these sponges almost everywhere now.
Boots, Superdrug,Asda great for the skin and you will notice your skin will look and feel a lot healthier and cleaner.
here is what they look like just so you know what to look for
http://boots.com/shop/product_enlarge.jsp?productid=1049339&slmRefer=000&imageid=1
Don't forget to follow up with a 24 hour deoderant I hate to seem obvious but it does need saying.
Happy Hygeine everyone and remember keep that body smelling fresh at all times because when you smell people don't want to be around you and you are creating an environment of Isolation for yourself just remember that.
And be kind to those around you by telling them if they need to freshen up especially if they black. you will be doing them a great service.
Bye for now ummmm I gotta take a bath

I know I mentioned it in my first post but I have an issue with Sisters with smelly hair. I am mainly refering to weaves and dreadlocks here.
It has been said that I do have a sensitive nose when it comes to bad smell but I'm having too many smelly weaves , dreadlocks , plaits encouters from sisters in a variety of settings.
Okay I know nothing about hair but when black women spend so much money on their hair thats fair enough. But it's no good if it smells stale.
So to all you women that care for womens hair plaits , weaves whatever the case maybe part of your aftercare service should include advising women how to be keeping that head clean.
Cos white bits in your head aint kewl and that goes for you dread heads too.
