Imagine you're out on a date at a club. You're busting your moves on the dance floor, swinging your arms around, then you notice your date is staring at something and has a weird look on their face. What could they be staring at? You look down and..........OH NO! You have two giant sweat stains growing around your armpits....gross!

Excessive sweating is actually a pretty common problem. It's nice to know that other people deal with this too.....but it doesn't make it any less embarrassing! So the question is how do you stop all this excessive sweating so you can go out and have a fun time without having to come home an hour later to change your shirt?

Here is a good trick to minimize extra sweat.

One method is to use baking soda. This is a great home remedy that is both cheap and natural. First thing you want to do is take a shower and wash off with antibacterial soap. Then dry off and apply baking soda and cornstarch to your armpits and anywhere else that you have a sweating problem. Now just let it sit there for half an hour, then hop back in the shower and rinse it all off.

What the baking soda mixture does is absorb extra moisture when you sweat. By absorbing the moisture, it will stop those dreaded pit stains from showing up on your shirt. Keep in mind though that this just helps hide the effects of the excess sweat, but doesn't actually remedy the underlying problem.
