Armpit sweat can be a terrible cause for concern for many people. Those huge wet patches around your armpits can really turn off people. So, knowing how to stop armpit sweating is very important. There are of course certain dietary and lifestyle changes which you can make for overall sweat seduction. There are certain other measures which you can also resort to. Rushing to the bathroom whenever you feel sweaty and uses paper towels to dry yourself and applying powder or deodorant may help, but it is not always possible to do so. Wearing heavy clothes to hide the sweat stains will make you feel hot and increase the sweat, though using garment pads to soak up the sweat is another solution.
There are other ways to stop armpit sweating. Women can shave their armpit, increasing air circulation. This cools the skin and reduces sweating. Another very effective way of reducing sweat is wearing light colored clothes. It’s a well known fact that dark clothes attract heat, while light clothes reflect heat. So, wearing light clothes will cause less sweat. Also, tight clothes and synthetic materials reduce air circulation. Wear loose, comfortable clothes, made of light materials which allow air to pass through and let the skin breathe and cool down.
There are some other remedies you can try to stop armpit sweating. These are methods which reduce the sweat emitted by the body, as opposed to just concealing it. These are what we call grand mom’s home remedies. So they only work over a period of time, so you need to try then out for some time before getting results. The apple vinegar remedy involves applying apple vinegar or any other malt vinegar to your armpits and letting it dry. The astringent present in vinegar blocks up the sweat pores, reducing odor causing bacteria as well as sweat levels. Let the vinegar stay overnight and wash it off in the morning.
The Baking Soda treatment can also work wonders. A paste of baking soda and water has to be applied to the armpit region and left on for 25 minutes. The alkali in the soda reacts with the acid in your sweat causing an instantly evaporating gas. The sweat will simply vanish in minutes. The only side effect is the rubbery feeling which you’re left with. But since this is infinitely better than sweaty armpits, it is inconsequential. Along with this, use a deodorant with high aluminum chloride content and watch the magic. These remedies are best applied on to shaved armpits for optimum results. So, change your lifestyle and stop armpit sweating.
