Tips to
Stop Excessive Sweating When Out During Summer

Introduction

• The warmer weather offers many enjoyable things,
  such as vacations abroad, leisurely beach days,
  and BBQs with friends and family. However, one
  thing that can sometimes ruin these enjoyable
  events is that sticky, sweaty feelingand even
  worse, the fear of smelling unpleasant!
• Sweating a lot in the gym has a certain beautiful
  quality. But as the world gets ready to resume
  operating in the manner it did before the COVID
  era, those WFH benefits are rapidly disappearing
  as the majority of us go back to the office. The
  air feels hotter and more humid as we travel
  farther each day as you commute in the heat, and
  that's bad news.

• Unfortunately, there is no way you can stop
  sweating. But the good news is that controlling
  excessive sweating may be done in a number of
  ways, most of which involve simple lifestyle
  adjustments. To learn why some people sweat so
  much and what may be done about it, we spoke with
  experts.

• To help manage sweating during the summer, the
  International Hyperhidrosis Society suggests
  doing the following
• A nonprofit organization called the International
  Hyperhidrosis Society works to enhance the
  quality of life for people who experience
  excessive sweating. The society works for patient
  access to appropriate treatments and encourages
  research into the physiological effects of
  hyperhidrosis. It also educates the public about
  these effects' psychological and financial
  effects. People who treat or are affected by
  hyperhidrosis can connect with the International
  Hyperhidrosis Society, which has members from all
  around the world.

• Keep hydrated by drinking early, frequently, and
  repeatedly. In warmer weather, sweat is essential
  for keeping your body cool.
• Use no sweat spray, a fine mist of water on your
  skin to assist the body's natural cooling
  process. The body will naturally cool off as
  water evaporation occurs.
• Dress in loose, airy natural fabrics because they
  "wick" moisture from your underarms, and loose
  clothing allows perspiration to dissipate.
• Apply antiperspirant twice a day Studies have
  shown that applying antiperspirant to the
  underarms (or other regions, too!) twice a dayin
  the morning and before bedis more successful at
  reducing excessive sweating.
• Find your zen Anxiety might make you perspire
  more. Deep breathing and internal focus can help
  you manage your anxiety.

• To stay cool in the hot months, stay away from
  spicy meals and beverages with caffeine.
• Eliminate body odour As perspiration dries and
  activates germs on your skin, excessive sweating
  can lead to odours. Sprinkle baking soda on the
  smelly clothing and athletic equipment after
  usage to eliminate odours.
• Avoid exercising in the middle of the day.
  Instead, take advantage of the long summer days
  by scheduling an early morning or late evening
  session.
• Be aware of the medications you take. Several
  widely used drugs have the potential to make you
  sweat more.
• Consult a medical professional If
  antiperspirants are ineffective in reducing
  excessive sweating, a doctor may prescribe BOTOX
  treatment (onabotulinumtoxinA).

• Skip the spicy food
• You'll constantly perspire if you eat anything
  spicy. Capsaicin is a component found in spicy
  foods like peppers. Capsaicin alerts the sweat
  glands that the body needs to cool down when the
  internal temperature rises as a result of the
  heat created by spicy meals. Choose foods high in
  calcium since they provide the amino acids
  necessary for controlling body temperature.

• Antiperspirant over deodorant
• Choose antiperspirant instead of deodorant since
  they contain aluminium salts that block our sweat
  glands and lessen the amount of sweat that
  reaches our skin. Never shave your underarms
  before using antiperspirant wait at least two
  days. Avoid taking hot showers or baths since
  they cause the skin's pores to open. The best
  time to use antiperspirant is right before bed.
  Apply the any products for hyperhidrosis
  carefully to the cool, dry skin beneath your arms
  to use it.

• Fabric choice
• How much you perspire also depends on what you're
  wearing. Choose materials like cotton, silk, or
  linen. Avoid wearing polyester and nylon because
  their tighter weaves might trap heat and cause
  excessive perspiration. You can de-moisten your
  underarms by doing this.

• Reduced caffeine
• Who doesn't enjoy the smell of fresh coffee when
  they first wake up? But regrettably, one of the
  main causes of your excessive perspiration is
  your everyday caffeine intake. The central
  nervous system is frequently stimulated by
  caffeine, and this opens up the sweat glands.
• Cold coffee is a better option if you can't
  resist the desire for hot coffee.

If you find no luck, What should you do?

• It is important to see a dermatologist if nothing
  is working to regulate your excessive sweating
  and it is interfering with your everyday life.
  Unrelated to environmental variables,
  hyperhidrosis is a treatable medical disorder
  that results in unusually high perspiration. If
  you have it, a specialist can diagnose you and
  provide advice on how to proceed.
