How to stop underarm sweating

Deepika Shakya

Apply an deodorant containing aluminum-based compounds to block sweat glands and reduce underarm sweating.

Deodorant

Opt for loose, breathable fabrics like cotton to allow air circulation and minimize sweat accumulation.

Choose Breathable Fabrics

Drink plenty of water to regulate body temperature, preventing the body from overheating and triggering excessive sweating.

Stay Hydrated

Keep underarms clean to prevent bacteria growth, which can contribute to odor and increased sweating.

Maintain Good Hygiene

Removing underarm hair reduces the surface area for bacteria and sweat to accumulate, minimizing sweat and odor.

Shave Underarms

Consider using clinical-strength deodorant for stronger and longer-lasting protection against underarm sweating.

Choose clothing designed to away moisture, such as moisture-wicking fabrics, to keep underarms dry.

Wear Sweat-Wicking Clothes

Reduce the intake of spicy foods and caffeine, as they can stimulate sweat glands and contribute to increased underarm sweating.

Limit Spicy Foods and Caffeine

In severe cases, consult a healthcare professional about Botox injections, which can temporarily block nerve signals responsible for excessive sweating.
