4 Ways to Help You Smell Better in Ramadan

Ramadan is the month of self-discipline, mercy and giving but above all, it is the month of self-improvement, kindness and self-control. But, smelling good never hurts. Here are questions and answers that can help you smell better while you are being a better version of yourself every day during Ramadan.

1. How often should one floss and use mouth freshener and the best way to go about it

Dental floss gets rid of the left-over food crumbs in your teeth. It is advised you floss at-least twice a day, before going to bed and after seheri.

It is also essential to floss in the right manner, so that you don’t end up hurting your gums.

Flossing helps prevent bad-breath, oral cavities and low self-esteem.

Mouth Fresheners commonly found in all pharmacies can act as a quick fix for Ramadan breath throughout the entire month.

Ideally, it’s best to floss twice a day, rinse your mouth as frequently as possible, and use mouth freshener after Iftaar and Seheri.

2. Myth-Breaking about scents and fragrances

Everything starting from perfume, deodorant and attar smells incredibly good on you. The only plausible reason for avoiding any of the aforementioned fragrances could be to make sure none of the particles inside the bottle enter your system, the chances of which happening are highly unlikely.

We suggest taking it a notch further, attar could be a great alternative throughout Ramadan. It brings along with it a great aura of purity around you, and helps you make a statement as well.

Here are some best places on your body to apply perfume to aside from the usual ones: inner elbow, lower jaw, shoulder, below your knees and behind your ears.

3. What food makes your breath smell better?

A healthy mix of apples, pineapples and yogurt is bound to make your breath smell like a million dollars. Yogurt carries fringe benefits. Not only do they contain bacteria fighting Vitamin-D that puts a stop to bad breath, it also reduces the amount of sulphite compounds in our bodies that cause body-odor.

4. Cutting down on caffeine:

Tea after Iftaar is definitely one of our most favorite drinks around this subcontinent. However, tea, coffee, soda and all the other caffeinated drinks might get you recharged but it also causes sweating, digestive issues and frequent urination and urgency. So, not only for Ramadan, but it is safe to say that we should keep ourselves away from these caffeinated drinks as much as we can.

So, smell more like yourself, this Ramadan.
