Medical studies and previous HuffPost reporting confirm that age-related body smells are a real thing.

Our skin definitely changes as we age, producing different compounds that emit distinct odors, as Dr. Sonal Choudhary, a dermatologist at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, previously confirmed to HuffPost.“It’s a gradual process, not an instant switch. The intensity of the smell varies significantly from person to person, depending on genetics, skin type, lifestyle and environmental exposure.”

Dr. Choudhary continues that this is a completely common and normal thing, generally beginning after age 40.

Thankfully, so many reviewers experiencing this swear by Lume’s Whole Body Deodorant as a long-lasting fix.

“Wanting to ensure I didn’t give off that ‘I’m over 50 odor’ prompted me to try this product. It really works as advertised,” reviewer June noted.
