As we age, despite good personal hygiene, a characteristic body odor often develops. Discover the little-known causes of this natural phenomenon and simple solutions to reduce it in everyday life.
How time changes our body odor.
As we age, our bodies undergo invisible yet clearly perceptible changes… in our noses! Far from simply sweating, this olfactory development reveals a fascinating biochemical process.
The composition of sweat changes: Research conducted by Dr. Shinichiro Haze has shown that the percentage of unsaturated fatty acids (such as 2-nonenal) in sweat increases with age. These compounds are metabolized by the skin flora and produce a stronger and more persistent odor.
