Boots is selling a face wash that is normally used to help with acne - but a beauty TikToker swears can also be used to get rid of that sweaty smell from your armpits The Acnecide Face Wash 5% w/w Gel 50g is being sold in Boots for £11 and is popular among shoppers who suffer from acne but it may have other, less conventional uses. On its website, Boots claims the product is designed to ‘fight’ bacteria which lead to acne and spots. The bacteria, Propionibacterium acnes, is one of the ‘main causes of acne’ but the active ingredient used in this face wash, benzoyl peroxide, is able to fight and kill the bacteria that causes skin to break out.
But while the product is designed to be used on your face, TikToker Bambi Does Beauty has shared that it can be used for the ultimate hygiene hack for having a summer without smelly sweaty armpits. Taking to her TikTok page last week she shared her personal hygiene hack that she swears works every time. In the video Bambi claims this is ‘the hygiene hack’ for her ‘sweaty gals who just want a non stanky summer’.
She shared that you can use the face wash as a mask under the arms which will then kill all the bacteria which causes the smell. Bambi goes as far as saying this hack means you ‘won’t need to wear deodorant’. Fellow TikTok users were loving this hack, with one saying: “Tried it as Bambi mentioned this in a previous post.
Can confirm it works 10/10.” Another who shared they were struggling with sweating du.
