How to Prevent Excessive Underarm Sweat From Happening

Excessive underarm sweat can be extremely annoying and embarrassing at the same time. There are a number of things you can try to eliminate excessive underarm sweat on your own that are very inexpensive or completely free.

Instructions

• 1

  Try a few different anti-perspirants to see if you can find one that works. Many people only try one brand and don't look any further, but each formulation works differently with your body's own chemistry. This means that one brand might be much more effective than another. There are also many good natural anti-perspirants available that are very effective.

• 2

  Control your stress and nerves as much as possible. One of the biggest causes of excessive underarm sweat is anxiety or stress. Controlling the mental side of things can cut down your sweating quite a bit.

• 3

  Avoid wearing synthetic fabrics or bulky clothing. The more that your skin can breathe the less you will perspire. Try sticking to natural fabrics like cotton, choose something that breathes well, and make sure not to wear extra layers when the outside temperature doesn't call for it.

• 4

  Keep your environment cool. If it is hot at your workplace adding an extra fan near your desk can help substantially. Keep the thermostat in your home set a little lower than normal and see if that makes a difference. It might cost a little more in the summer to keep the temperature a little cooler, but it will be well worth it to avoid the excessive underarm sweat.

• 5

  Get an evaluation from a doctor. Sometimes excessive sweating is caused by a medical condition that needs proper care and treatment. The only way to know this for sure is to see a doctor and have them decide.
