Sometimes, individuals are genetically predisposed to sweat a lot. Luckily, I met someone in college that suffered from a similar problem. nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, chest pain or anything else that is out of the ordinary), contact a medical professional immediately as sweating can also be a symptom of something else. Some will note that foot powder, "crotch" powder, deodorant, anti perspirant, wearing light weight and light coloured clothing, drinking excessive amounts of water or Gatorade, regular exercise, wearing damp cloths around one's neck, not putting on moisturizing lotions, and lowering the temperature of their house will help an individual not perspire. I worry about sweating profusely and having body odour any time I meet someone new. This is important to do because deodorants and anti perspirants may not have worked for you in the past because they were not the right product for you. Your health should be your number one priority, so please make it a priority if your sweating indicates any sort of a medical problem. For one, it is important to understand that any type of sweat is the body's way of cooling itself down.
Foot Sweat: Shoes and Foot Powder
Are they heavy, "air tight" shoes that feel unbelievably hot on a summer day? If this sounds like you, consider changing the types of shoes that you wear. When a person has "hot" feet, it can make them feel unbelievably uncomfortable throughout the day. Through using this method, you will find that your feet sweat significantly less and you will feel cooler throughout the day. There are a number of different ways you can combat this if it is happening to you through changing the type of footwear you use, changing the type of socks that you use, and most importantly, using a foot powder product at least twice a day. Changing the types of shoes that you wear will help your feet sweat significantly less.
Crotch Powder
Excessive crotch sweat can make many individuals feel more hot than they actually are, and uncomfortable both physically and psychologically. Combating "crotch" sweat takes evaluating the type of material your underwear is, changing that material if it is contributing to excessive perspiration, then using body powder to soak up any moisture. If you find that this is the case, you should change the type of underwear you wear, change your underwear regularly and use body powder to absorb the moisture and odour.
Light Weight and Light Coloured Clothing
Garments that are made up of light colors will attract less heat and will help keep you cool. You should look to wear colors such as white, or any pastel. Many individuals will enjoy the cool nature of any material made from linen or cotton, so consider these two materials to be ideal when you are picking out your wardrobe. Sometimes the moisturizers one uses can be very heavy and can block pores that allow for heat to be transferred out of the body because of sweating. Many sporting goods stores will sell products that you soak with water and can wrap around your neck. If you use this method frequently, even before you start to sweat, you will combat your excessive sweating problem long before it has happened. Depending on the type of lotion you may use, you may find that you sweat more because of your use of the product.
The Temperature of Your House and Maintaining Air Flow
Try opening the windows, using any fan that you have, and possibly using an air conditioning system.
Lose Weight and Exercise
While exercise will not stop you from excessively perspiring, it will help you curb and control this behaviour so you can have confidence when you're out in public. Hot beverages will make you sweat more. If you are sweating profusely during exercise, after you finish your body will recognize that it isn't as hot as it was and will stop sweating.
Having Confidence in Any Public Situation
Sometimes, you can curb your perspiration and return to the social scene with confidence. I am certain the interviewer and potential employer could not stop thinking about the fact that I was sweating profusely. If you feel concerned about your health in any way when you sweat, you should contact a health care professional immediately. More importantly, though, you shouldn't react to your excessive perspiration. It can leave us feeling vulnerable and self conscious ruining our self confidence in situations when we need it the most. Once, I had walked to an interview, (about 2 blocks in the blazing ninety degree sun), and realized I was at the wrong location. http://tinyurl.com/32mdktd
