Sweating keeps the body cool in hot weather but it becomes a problem when one perspires excessively. If not controlled, it could lead to body odour. Here are ways to manage sweating
1. Use antiperspirants
Deodorants only mask unpleasant smells, but antiperspirants stop sweating. Antiperspirants contain aluminum salts, which plug the sweat glands and reduce the amount of sweat that travels to the skin.
Men who sweat always should use extra-strength antiperspirants even for the groin. To apply on the groin, simply swipe the antiperspirant over the sweaty area. Discontinue immediately if there is any rash, burning sensation, or irritation on the skin.
2. Stay fresh
To sweat less, take extra measures to stay fresh. Covered and hidden parts of the body like the armpits and crotch area are prone to sweat more than other areas. Bathing two or three times a day especially at the periods when the body sweats the most, could
keep the body cool and reduce sweating. Also, applying talcum powder could help cool down the body.
3. Reduce caffeine intake
Caffeine, contained in hot coffee has a way of stimulating the sweat glands and makes you sweat more. It stimulates the central nervous system, which
activates the sweat glands. If you have to drink coffee, be sure it is not too hot.
,4. Change your wardrobe
If it is likely that you will spend a lot of time outdoors,
opt for clothes with cool and breathable fabric like cotton or linen. Also, clothes that absorb sweat can also help you stay dry. Some colours, like black and other dark shades make people sweat more. Men who have sweaty feet should not go barefoot when wearing shoes. Damp feet are a perfect place for smelly bacteria and fungi to thrive. Opt for sandals for air circulation around the feet. If you have to wear shoes, wear with socks to absorb the sweat. Socks made of cotton are more effective.
5. Try Botox
Botox, used by most celebrities to smooth out wrinkles, has also been successful in treating excessive underarm sweat. It works by blocking chemical signals from nerves which trigger muscles of the sweat glands to open up and release sweat. The disadvantage is that it is not a permanent solution but its effect can last up to six or eight months. Also, they could be expensive and have side effects. Consult a doctor or dermatologist before receiving Botox injections.
6. Get medication
Not all cases of excessive sweating are ordinary; some medical/health conditions could stimulate excessive sweating from the sweat glands. When this condition lingers for long, it is advisable to see a doctor for diagnosis, prescription and treatment.
