Body odor is a common concern, especially in a tropical country like the Philippines, where the hot and humid weather often leads to excessive sweating.
Maris Racal admitted that she also struggled with body odor during her teenage years.
She opened up about her experience during the Avon Feelin' Fresh Deo event held at Watsons in SM Mall of Asia on June 18, 2026.
Recalling her experience, Maris said: "I think it became a problem for me when I was in my early teenage years. But, as I grew up, I think the main issue talaga is the sweat."
MARIS RACAL's GO-TO DEO
Preventing body odor often starts with a simple daily routine—eliminating bacteria, reducing sweat, and managing odor-causing factors.
For Maris, using products she trusts has been key to helping her stay fresh.
"Honestly, go for the brands that you trust. And I really trust Avon Feeling Fresh Deos. Um, it never failed me. Never talaga.
"When I finally used the Avon Feelin' Fresh Deo, sobra talagang na-amaze ako sa effect niya.
"Dahil I don't sweat anymore and I'm such an active person.
"So yeah, I'm so happy. I'm always so happy to use it every day and, like, I recommend it to my friends.
"I tell them to use this deo kasi sobrang nakaka-fresh talaga siya the whole day."
For those curious, AVON’s Feelin’ Fresh Deo is available in several variants, including roll-ons and deo creams that can be used all over the body.
Roll-ons start at PHP114 on Lazada and Shopee, while deo creams are priced at PHP159 at Watsons’ official stores.
A DEO FOR BODY
Maris also pointed out that body odor can develop in areas beyond the underarms.
Because of this, she appreciates products that can be used on different parts of the body.
She explained: "Well, you know your body, right?
"When I learned that puwede ito all over the body, it became so convenient for me because I can use it, like I can only use one product for everything.
"And there are places na we don't want to smell, ganyan. So yeah, nilalagay ko siya doon."
Aside from using body care products, Maris shared a few simple habits she follows to stay fresh throughout the day.
"And, how to stay fresh? Hydrate, meditate... Yeah, maligo. And then, maybe, during the day, just rest, di ba?"
