I thought I would be doing a plain 'ol, "must have beauty product list" today, however, I was inspired to blog about something more meaningful to me and maybe more useful to the 2~3% of the general population who suffer from over heating. So here are my beauty, holy grail items for girls who suffer from excessive sweating problems, a Must Have Beauty Products in Summer if You Sweat a Lot, caused either by physical labor, the weather, stress, a mental disorder (anxiety issues) or from Hyperhidrosis.
I can thoroughly relate. I know how utterly embarrassing and crushing this is to your self esteem, especially if you're a girl who have it because I've had this since my late teens... this isn't a bullshit blog.
Best Antiperspirants / Deodorants for Excessive Sweating:
CERTAIN DRI - Roll on #1!
What it is: Clear, watery liquid you apply under your arms at night right before bed.
Aluminum Chloride 12%.
Aluminum Chloride 12%.
Pros:
- Gradually, you really do stop sweating completely. You can say good bye to any excessive sweating ( Hyperhidrosis) issues good bye with this.
- Cheaper than dirt
- Do not require a doctor's visit
- No scent
- Last for days
- Scentless
Cons:
- Itchy as HELL if you apply more than 1 swipe per arm pit
- Can't apply right after a shower because you'll start a World War 3 under your pits
- It does not cover odors, so if you have that issue as well, you will need a separate deodorants for day time.
- Scentless
I used to use Arrid Extra Dry before I switched to Certain DRI. The difference is that I would consider CD a medication while Arrid is more of a deodorant.
Pros:
- Compared to other over the counter roll on deodorants, it lasts and protects better
- Cheaper than dirt
- Because the consistency is so light and creamy, like a heavy night cream, you can rub it into your hands, feet, etc (although it says to apply to your arm pits only) if you sweat a lot in your hands or feet.
- Invisible, clear protection
Cons:
- The packaging is quite cheap looking
- Smells like a minty, baby powder - like medicine
- I hate that I have to stick my finger in it to apply - Yuck
