About This Article
Want to smell your best? While showering daily and wearing deodorant are great places to start, there are a few other things you can try to stay nice and fresh. Sip water often and eat breath-freshening foods like apples, citrus fruits, and fresh herbs. Regular brushing and flossing will also keep your breath smelling nice. If your shoes are starting to get a little musty, spray the insoles with a disinfectant spray and let them air-dry for 24 hours before wearing them again. A little scented lotion or a tiny spritz of perfume or cologne can also help you smell good. If they don’t irritate your skin, try washing your clothes with scented detergents. Floral smells like lavender tend to have the most staying power. For more advice on how to make your breath smell nice, keep reading below!
