I know it can be a sensitive topic, but I care deeply about you and want us to feel comfortable around each other. Would you be open to exploring some new habits together, like using deodorant or antiperspirant or finding a mouthwash that works for you? I’m here to support you and want us to feel confident and freshen our own skin. Let’s tackle this together, okay?”
