Walking into a room of crowded people and having all heads turn to face you can be a bit overwhelming. Now how would you feel if could feel the sweat dripping down your side from your armpits, while everybody else in the room has dry pits? You'd be a little embarrassed. If this has happened to you, don't worry there are solutions. If you suffer from excessive sweating there are methods on how to stop underarm sweating that can help.
The best way to stop underarm sweating is using good preventative measures.
- While you are learning how to conquer this condition you will have to learn to cover it up. The way most people do this is by wearing a cotton T-shirt under your clothing to absorb your sweat so that it doesn't get your outer shirt wet. This doesn't get rid of your problem, but it will allow you to feel more comfortable and confident knowing that your sweat isn't noticeable to anyone that may be looking.
- Shaving your armpits will reduce your sweating greatly. Shaving your underarm hair also will help prevent offensive underarm odor.
- Using antipersirant helps control wetness. There are many different brands to choose from. I would suggest using an antiperspirant that has a powder base instead of a gel. Powder forms are proven to last longer and keep your body cooler while you go about your day.
- Drinking enough water throughout your day is vital to regulating your body's temperature. The more water you consume, the cooler you will be. A healthy body is one that has atleast 8-10 large glasses of water in it a day.
- Be sure to shower daily, sometimes more than once, and showering in cooler water instead of hot water is recommended. A cool water shower will help to cool down your body temperature and help you feel and smell fresh all day. Excessive sweating causes a build up of dead skin cells and as they sit there rotting and decaying is when odors appear. Taking showers help eliminate this problem.
- Keeping caffeinated foods and drinks to a minimum is necessary. It is well documentated that consuming foods containing caffeine will cause your body to sweat more, this is why it is best to either avoid them entirely or enjoy them in moderation.
The above tips will help you work out how to stop underarm sweating, but if you are still unable to keep your pits dry, you may need to seek medical consultation.
This may help as well.
