The 34-year-old revealed that the buy stops your armpits from smelling, and it works even better than deodorant.
In the clip, she said: “You know when people say this beauty tip is going to change your life?
“Well this one actually will. Personal Hygiene Tip 101.
“If you use this face wash on your underarms, you won’t even need to wear deodorant.”
She recommended using a shower gel with 4% Benzoyl Peroxide.
She said the product, which is often used to treat bacterial acne, also kills the bacteria which causes your sweat to smell.
Instead of using it on your face, Elle recommended applying it to your underarms for a few minutes, like a face mask, before washing it off.
She added: “For my sweaty gals who want a non-stanky summer!
“Just make sure to use a separate washcloth to remove it cos benzoyl peroxide stains the life out of everything.”
It’s best to use a 4 or 5% product as any stronger may cause a rash under the arms.

She also recommended using it just once a week and it should be enough to keep the smell at bay.
You can buy the face wash Acnecide from Tesco for as little as £10 and it will cost less than 20p a go.
The clip went viral on her TikTok account @bambidoesbeauty with over 734k views and 31k likes.
People were quick to thank her in the comments.
One person wrote: “Yes, it definitely works but you need to wash it off super well otherwise it’s going to stain your clothes!”
How to keep cool in hot weather
Most of us welcome hot weather, but when it’s too hot, there are health risks. Here are three ways to keep cool according to the NHS…
Keep out of the heat if you can.
If you have to go outside, stay in the shade especially between 11am and 3pm, wear sunscreen, a hat and light clothes, and avoid exercise or activity that makes you hotter.
Cool yourself down.
Have cold food and drinks, avoid alcohol, caffeine and hot drinks, and have a cool shower or put cool water on your skin or clothes.
Keep your living space cool.
Close windows during the day and open them at night when the temperature outside has gone down. Electric fans can help if the temperature is below 35 degrees. Check the temperature of rooms, especially where people at higher risk live and sleep.
Another commented: “They also have a spray that works well.”
“Tried it – works like charm! especially in the summer,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “It most definitely works 100%, I only use it like 2 times a week and it’s magic.”
“It’s amaaaaaaazing, hands down beats any product for sweat,” claimed a fifth
Someone else added: “I always love your hacks they always work so well for me.”
