Here are some tips to help you sweat less this summer season…

Use Antiperspirant and Deodorants

Get rid of those sweaty armpits that ruin your shirts and your social life too by using Antiperspirant or Deodorants or a combination of both.

Use deodorants to kill the odor or opt for antiperspirant that will block the sweat ducts and stop the sweat from reaching the surface of your skin and kill the odor-causing bacteria too. If using an antiperspirant apply it before going to bed and you’ll be sweat free the following day.

Reduce intake of salt, spicy food and hot beverages

Avoid food with high sodium content and also reduce the amount of salt in your daily diet. Nothing in excess is good and too much sodium in the body will eventually be released in the form of sweat and we don’t want that right?

If you love spicy food and can’t live without coffee then be ready for a sweaty summer season.These foods can trigger your sweat glands so it’s better to avoid them as much as possible

Wear loose and lightweight fabrics

The clothes you wear will also decide whether you’ll sweat less or sweat more. So to avoid those “awkward patchy situations” make sure you choose loose and lightweight fabrics. Cotton and linen make the best fabrics for summer. They are cool,comfortable and also available in a variety of colors. Opt for lighter tones like pastels as they would absorb less heat or go for darker tones to hide those stains and sweat patches.

Stress less to sweat less

Stress and anxiety can also increase sweat production.Have you noticed you tend to sweat more when you’re stressed or panicking? During such situations, try calming yourself and focus on deep breathing. Yoga and meditation on a regular basis can have long term benefits and improve your overall health and wellbeing.

Avoid working out on summer afternoons

Even if you’re a fitness freak you must avoid working out on summer afternoons. This is the time when the sun is at its peak so expect to sweat more and drain yourself out. 

If you are really keen on working out and want to make the most of your time then plan for an early morning or late evening workout.

Consume plenty of fluids

For us, summers mean eating less and drinking more of our favorite smoothies and fruit juices. It’s important to keep yourself hydrated all the time, so if not a smoothie you can always have a bottle of water handy with you. Drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration and replenish the water that was lost due to sweat.

Use Natural Deodorants

Here’s a DIY deodorant idea for you to save yourself from sweat and odor. Just apply a light dusting of baking soda to your underarms or rub lemon juice into them. You can also dab some apple cider vinegar on a clean and dry armpit and keep it overnight and wash it off in the morning. You can try aloe vera gel too.
