This summer it was very hot in Europe and when I was on holiday, I even had to wash several times a day. I heard many times that it is bad for the skin to use deodorant on parts of the body exposed to the sun, but also bad to use washing agents like soap more than once a day. So at first I tried to wash with water only, not using soap. After the general, salty smell of perspiration had gone, there remained an odour that strongly reminded me of a "Dané" deodorant. Later I found that the shower gel "Dove silk glow" also smells somewhat similar.

I had none of these with me on my trip! Do they contain a component that is also a component of human body odour? If so, what for? If I use them won't people think I have washed with water only and am still dirty?
