Embarrassed because of sweaty armpits? Easy tips to reduce arm pit sweating

Sweating is the body’s natural cooling process. There are lots of reasons for excessive sweating, especially in your armpits, including physical exertion, summer heat, stress or a drop in hormones. Sweating is a normal bodily function. Just because it is normal, doesn’t mean that it isn’t embarrassing. Most deodorants on the market today include an antiperspirant. Read the label and make sure that your favorite brand includes “aluminium zirconium tetrachlorohydrex gly” or “aluminium zirconium trichlorohydrex gly” which are the most popular form of chemical antiperspirant compounds. Most antiperspirants work for about 24 hours, but if you have experienced excessive armpit sweating feel free to reapply occasionally throughout the day.

Here are some other tips to help you reduce armpit sweating:

1. Wear clothes in light colors like white, tan or pastels. These colors reflect the light of the sun and help keep your body temperature down. Darker colors like black or brown absorb the sunlight and raise your body temperature which triggers your brain to activate your sweat glands.
2. Choose fabrics that allow for easy air circulation like breezy cottons, or light silks and linens.
3. Relax. Stress increases the production of sweat. Try some breathing techniques or yoga to help you keep your blood flowing and your sweat glands in check.
4. Work out! This tip targets sweat in two ways. Not only will this help your overall health, it will also get your body used to higher temperatures before activating your sweat glands. People with excess fat near their armpits tend to sweat more. Working out will help you reduce the fat and lower your sweat production.
5. Try taclum powder. Talc does not reduce the production of sweat but it does help absorb the sweat and those unsightly sweat stains on your favorite clothes.
6. Avoid spicy foods. Spicy foods increase your body’s temperature which sets off the sweat glands in an attempt to cool you down. So skip the spices on that special date or before your next big meeting.
