Cut an organic lime and apply it to your underarms right after showering, but don't use it after shaving. If this procedure is uncomfortable for you, you can apply lime juice to a clean cotton ball and place it under your armpit. Leave it on for a while to let it all dry.
Lime is used in many natural cosmetic preparations that give a pleasant fresh feeling and suppress unpleasant odors. Its natural acid changes the pH value of the skin. This should make it harder for bacteria to settle under the armpit.
