Don’t worry, though – excessive sweating is common, and there are various treatments that can help.

HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH SWEATING?
Take a look at the statements below…

HOW CAN I REDUCE EXCESSIVE SWEATING?
Use extra protection antiperspirants like Rexona Clinical Protection, which has 3x sweat protection vs a normal antiperspirant. Game changer!
Wear natural fibres like cotton, wool and silk as much as possible to stay cooler during the day.
Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of cool water. This helps lower your body temperature and replace some of the water lost through excessive sweating.
Avoid potential sweat triggers, like spicy food, caffeine, smoking and alcohol.
Wash regularly, particularly focusing on the areas you sweat the most.
If these don’t help, don’t worry. There are other approaches you can take. Speak to your doctor or dermatologist – they’ll be able to talk you through options such as medication and other specialised treatments.
