Assuming that your trap, (the U shaped pipe under the lavatory)has not lost its water seal, you have "gunk" built up in either the tailpiece(the chrome tube that connects to the bottom of the lavatory), or it is built up inside the overflow.
remove the p.o. plug or the drain stopper and clean out any hair, soap scum,ect that you can. The overflow will be harder to clean, but try working some disinfectant, or chlorine bleach through the overflow. This should do the trick.
