Does Fitakri Get Rid of Bad Sweat Smell? A Complete Guide

A straightforward, inexpensive natural cure called **fitakri** (potash alum) can help you beat the summer heat without worrying about body odor.

The truth is that new sweat has no smell, if you've ever wondered why sweat smells. The natural bacteria on your skin break down the proteins and lipids in your perspiration, causing an unpleasant smell. Fitakri uses two methods to halt this process:
* It eliminates bacteria that cause odors: Fitakri leaves an imperceptible, slightly acidic layer on your skin that prevents the growth of microorganisms that cause odors.
* It constricts skin pores: Fitakri, a natural astringent, softly constricts pores to reduce excessive perspiration. It keeps you smelling fresh while allowing your body to naturally sweat to cool off, unlike chemical antiperspirants.

Three Simple Ways to Use Fitakri Every Day

1. The Direct Rub: Use tap water to soak a smooth block of solid fitakri immediately following a shower. Before putting on clothing, let your skin air dry after gently rubbing it under your arms or over your feet for ten to fifteen seconds.
2. Make your own body spray by dissolving half a teaspoon of fitakri powder in a cup of warm water, then transfer the mixture into a spray bottle. Every morning, mist it on places that are prone to odors.
3. Fitakri Bath Rinse: For a revitalizing rinse, mix one or two tablespoons of powdered fitakri into a bucket or tub of bathwater.

A Few Pointers Before You Begin

Do a patch test: To make sure your skin can tolerate it, try it on a tiny area of skin first.

Avoid it after shaving: Fitakri will sting if applied to recently shaved or waxed skin, so wait a little before doing so.

Store it dry: After using your fitakri stone, place it in a dry area to prevent it from gradually dissolving.
