Life
Working out, long shifts at work, hot summer days spent outside — they all lead to that dreaded body, foot, and boob sweat, causing you to cry out for products that stop sweating. Nothing puts a damper on your day like a sweat stain, unwanted moisture, or the constant itching of a particularly sensitive area.
There is a whole market for products designed specifically to keep you sweat-free beyond deodorant — from moisture-wicking fabrics, moisture-absorbing powders, and even armpit shields, there's plenty to keep you protected against sweat's tyranny.
Of course, sweating is totally natural; it's your body's way of trying to cool itself down. But that doesn't mean you have to put up with it all summer, especially if you'd prefer not to walk around covered in sweat all day. Basically, there is nothing wrong with sweat, and there's nothing wrong with wanting to control sweat, either.
Whether you are struggling with sweat already or are looking for ways to maximize your freshness this summer, now is the time to explore your options for an upcoming season of hot temperatures and bright sun. That way, you'll never be caught sweating your ass off ever again.
