How to prevent underarm sweating

In summer, the armpits are more prone to sweating. The space under the armpits is relatively closed, so it is easier for bacteria to breed, resulting in unpleasant odors. This will affect social interaction, especially for people with axillary odor. When underarm sweating occurs, certain methods can be used to prevent sweating, such as using antiperspirant and deodorant products, and you should also pay attention to your daily clothing.

1. Use antiperspirant products

Usually, antiperspirant and deodorant products contain a large amount of bactericidal and odor-eliminating ingredients, which can penetrate into the skin through the pores and directly act on the sweat glands, reducing the secretion of sweat in the human body, especially under the armpits. Applying them to parts of the body that are prone to sweating before going out or after bathing can reduce the amount of sweating by half. At the same time, antiperspirant and deodorant products will start by inhibiting bacterial reproduction, decomposing, changing or absorbing the bacteria and components that cause sweat odor. In the hot summer, if you prepare antiperspirant, you won’t feel irritated by the stickiness of your body caused by sweat!

2. Wear breathable and refreshing clothes

Wearing too many clothes or clothes that are not breathable will accelerate the bacterial decomposition of sweat, and the odor will not be able to dissipate. Therefore, friends who sweat a lot under their armpits in the summer should wear cool, loose and thin clothes.

3. Drink more lactic acid drinks

Lactic acid drinks can inhibit the growth of bacteria in the body, thereby reducing the amount of bacteria excreted from the skin through the sweat glands, because bacteria do not like to grow in an acidic environment.

4. Keep your body clean

You can bathe two to three times a day with disinfectant (such as Dettol) or disinfectant soap. If you work and cannot shower frequently, you should also clean your armpits regularly. If you sweat a lot after exercise, you should take a shower as soon as possible, otherwise bacteria will breed and produce odor.

5. Eat a light diet

Don't eat too much spicy and irritating food, especially things that produce odor such as raw onions, which will emit an unpleasant odor when they are converted into sweat and excreted through the body's metabolism. You should eat more foods rich in calcium, such as milk, soy products, dried shrimp skin, kelp, fish, bone soup and green leafy vegetables.
