What to do about sweaty underarms this summer

Posted on Aug 15th 2007 11:59AM by Brian White
If you've been outside in summer heat this year (or any year), you've probably faced one embarrassing "armpit sweating session" in public. The normal course of action here is to use a standard anti-perspirant to stop that sweating, but clogging your pores with an aluminum-based product and not allowing your body to cool itself is not the best course of action for health reasons.

What to do, then? You can use natural deodorants to fend off any foul smells, but that won't stop the sweating. What about wearing some kind of fragrance to mask the smell? That works too.

But, trying to cover up actual underarm sweating continues to pose a challenge if you're looking for healthy solutions. Maybe allowing that sweat is the best choice - that's up to you. Personally, I'll sweat and allow my body to cool down naturally and use natural deodorant products to cover the scent. Of course, eating very well won't product the kind of stench a processed food-filled diet will, so some folks may not even have a problem with underarm smells.
