Tips to Stop Underarm Sweating

Tips to Stop Underarm Sweating

NEPAL TRAVEL BOOK, KATHMANDU: Armpit sweating can be mortifying in certain social situations, and knowing tips to stop underarm sweating can lead to more confidence and less staining of your clothing. Deodorants only mask the sweat odor, so if you are serious about stopping sweating you will need to take active measures to address the glands in your underarm area.

Use baking soda in conjunction with a deodorant that has aluminum chloride. 

The alkaline nature of the baking soda creates a gas when it combines with your body sweat, which is acidic. This gas, in turn, evaporates.

Wear an Antiperspirant 

Make it a daily habit to use an antiperspirant. Many people apply an antiperspirant or deodorant before leaving the house to help control underarm sweating and the potential for embarrassing odor.

Adjust Your Routine 

The skin under the arms is delicate, even if it is a powerhouse of sweat production. Unfortunately, antiperspirants are known for causing skin irritation, especially those that contain higher levels of aluminum chloride as an active ingredient. To help combat the itching and stinging that some sweat-blockers cause, take a few precautions. Don’t apply products to your underarms within one to two days of shaving them, and don’t take a hot shower that opens the skin’s pores right before applying antiperspirant.

Wear Materials that Breathe 

You can help combat sweat by taking stock of your closet. Your choice of clothing can either make you more comfortable or more prone to sweat. Clothing made of natural fabrics, such as cotton, wool, hemp, silk or linen, often have a looser weave than synthetics; this results in a more breathable fabric that allows air to pass through to your skin. Plus, the fibers these fabrics are made from absorb moisture well, which prevents bacteria from feeding on your sweat and causing a stink.

Understand Your Anxiety 

Speaking in public. Going on a first date. Interviewing for a new job. There are plenty of situations that cause anxiety — and cause the sweat glands in your armpits to go into overdrive. When you become anxious, your heart pounds, your mouth becomes dry and you begin to perspire. It’s a fear response, one your body has triggered so that you’ll be physically ready to respond to an uncertain or potentially dangerous situation.
