First of all: sweating is a natural, useful and very important function of the body. The sweat that evaporates from the skin serves to cool the body down.
However, many people want to avoid visible sweat stains under their armpits. If this is an issue that concerns you in your daily life, we would like to share some tips and tricks with you that can reduce the amount of sweating and help you feel comfortable and confident even when you sweat.
The first step to avoid sweat stains is choosing the right clothes. Garments made from breathable materials such as cotton or linen allow for better air circulation and help reduce sweat production.
Loose-fitting, airy clothing that gives your body room to breathe is also recommended, as it does not hinder the evaporation of sweat. If you sweat a lot in the summer and get hot quickly, you should opt for lighter fabrics. These reflect the sun's rays better and do not heat up as quickly, unlike very dark and black clothing.
Antiperspirants are an effective way for many people to control sweating. The aluminum salts in antiperspirants temporarily block the sweat glands, thereby reducing sweat production.
However, since there is a risk that aluminum can accumulate in the body over the long term and have negative effects on health, aluminum intake should be kept as low as possible. This means that you should use an antiperspirant consciously and reduce the amount you use. For example, if you can already foresee that you will sweat less on some days due to lower temperatures or lower stress levels, you could use conventional deodorants without aluminum salts on those days instead.
A regular shower not only helps you stay fresh, but also removes bacteria that can cause unpleasant body odor. It is best to use antibacterial soaps and pay special attention to hygiene in the armpits.
By the way: alternating hot and cold showers can help the body get used to temperature fluctuations and thus cope better with heat.
Being dehydrated can lead to increased sweating as the body tries to cool itself down, so drink plenty of water to keep your body well hydrated and reduce excessive sweating. And while ice cold water may be very tempting during the summer heat, it's actually better to drink warm drinks like herbal teas so your body doesn't have to warm the liquid up to body temperature.
Stress can cause your body to sweat more. Try to reduce stress by using relaxation techniques such as yoga, meditation or deep breathing. A healthy work-life balance can also help minimize stress.
Spicy spices and foods can stimulate sweat production. If you tend to sweat a lot, you can try to avoid these foods. Coffee and alcohol can also affect sweat production. It is therefore better to avoid drinks containing caffeine and alcohol and to relieve your body with easily digestible food.
Moisture-control pads and underwear keep your armpits and other sweaty areas dry by absorbing sweat and preventing it from seeping through to your outer clothing.
An undershirt can also help absorb sweat before it shows through the clothing worn over it.
