My 7 year old daughter has body odor we give her a shower daily but she still smells. Is she too young to wear deoderant? She is very skinny and very active and always working up a sweat

Thanks

You're never too young for deodorant.

I would check with the family Doctor first.

Also, try to get deoderants without aluminum in them, and that are scent free.

From what I've read, it is not unusual for kids at this age to have body odour.

I work in a daycare with older children, and it definitely is not abnormal for them to have body odor! Invest in some good deodorant :)
