Sweating is a natural process that helps regulate body temperature and remove toxins. However, some people experience excessive underarm sweating, due to a condition called ‘hyperhidrosis’. Here are a few ways to manage underarm sweating. Tap to read!
Shave Armpits
Though shaving your armpits will not reduce the excessive sweating but it can help minimise the amount of moisture trapped in the hair and armpit.
Wear loose clothes
Tight fitted clothes can cause you to sweat more. Wearing loose clothes can help your body breathe and allow your underarms to cool properly.
Avoid Caffeine
Caffeine stimulates the nerves in the nervous system which increases sweating, raises blood pressure, and heart rate.
Stay Hydrated
Staying hydrated helps keep the body cool in warm temperatures, preventing excessive underarm sweating.
Use Antiperspirants
Antiperspirants are similar to deodorants, but they not only prevent odor, they also kill bacteria and block sweat glands to reduce excessive sweating.
Gap between showering and dressing
After showering, wait a few minutes before dressing to allow your body to cool down and dry off from the humidity caused while showering.
