Switch the Type of Deodorant You Use and See if That Helps

There was time when my third son was a baby when I could not figure out why I was so sweaty all the time. After all, it was the middle of winter. I chalked it up to hormones for a few weeks. Then I chucked the deodorant I had been using for years and tried something new. I haven’t had the same problem since. Sometimes your body chemistry changes as you age so even something you’ve relied on for decades might not be making the cut anymore.

2

Skip the Really Tight Tops

Tight tops might look sexy, but they snuggle so close to your skin that they promote more sweating than something a bit looser. I’m not suggesting wearing something that is obviously too big, but something just a bit less snug can leave you feeling better with very little effort.

3

Try Wearing an Antiperspirant Instead of Deodorant

While deodorant is formulated to fight the stink that occurs when you sweat, antiperspirants are designed to reduce sweating in the first place. You might find that using both together is your best bet. That way you get the perks of both products without having to sacrifice one or the other.

4

Lower Your Core Temperature

Experts say that lowering your core temperature is an effective way to cool you off quickly and reduce sweating. A quick cool shower is your best bet, but if that’s not possible, simply removing a layer of clothing around your middle can help. Try wearing several thin layers so you can do this without embarrassment. Removing your socks and shoes can also help.

5

Talk to Your Doctor about Botox in Sweaty Areas

Though Botox is more commonly used as a facial filler to smooth out wrinkles, it can also be used to halt sweating. Botox injections in particularly sweaty places, such as your armpits, can slow or stop excessive sweating, allowing you to live your life without worrying about being wet and smelly. Perfect!

Make Sure to Practice Regular Hair Removal

Armpits, the groin area, and even your chest are more prone to sweating when the hair grows out. Staying diligent about hair removal can really cut back on how much you sweat. Shaving is fast and easy, but if you have the money and really want to slow down the sweat, consider having a laser removal treatment, which lasts much longer and requires less maintenance than shaving or waxing.

See Your Doctor to Rule out a Health Condition

Sometimes sweating can be chalked up to an underlying health issue. If none of these steps helps you sweat less, make an appointment with your doc to make sure you don’t have anything else going on. Chances are that if something else is at play, treating it will help slow the sweating at the same time.
