My husband went on a new blood pressure medication and it really kick his hyperhidrosis into high gear. He was sweating so much he was getting dehydrated. Now it’s just minor annoyance. He puts baby powder in the fold areas at night.
Sometimes people get Botox on the areas they sweat the most (such as palms of hands, underarms) but that’s not possible every part of your body and is expensive to maintain
@@GildaLee27 I second this. CertainDri is a game changer for me. I went from applying it every night for a few months to now only needing to use it once a month in the winter and once every two weeks in the summer.
Can you talk about the lore surrounding aluminum deodorants? Are they potentially dangerous for women? Is there any credible research about this topic?
That’s a myth perpetuated by the companies selling the aluminum free deodorant. Why would anyone buy deodorant that is more expensive and doesn’t work? They wouldn’t – so, the approach was to demonize aluminum so people would feel forced to use their bad product.
It’s probably just marketing/fear-mongering. Brands often label their products as “free from” various substances to encourage people to think that they are safer, but they rarely provide evidence that this is the case
From what I understand, the whole marketing push for aluminum-free stems from a single study being misinterpreted by people online. Then the “clean beauty” community took that misinformation and ran with it, leading to a market demand for “aluminum free” deodorants.
I think anyone who sweats a lot should also consider how things like clothing choices can make it feel more or less salient. If you have materials like linens and natural fibers that dry off quickly, you at least don’t stay sweaty. Also if you have really tight sleeves like the girl in the video, anyone who is prone to sweat will look like that. I find it really interesting to study historical clothing choices of people from cultures based im hot and himid places, since the shape and texture is really informed by practicality. If your clothes allow for airflow, it really helps! Of course nothing I said is stopping the issue, but as a very sweaty person myself, I like to focus on how to build a better life around the things I can’t change.
I was thinking the same thing. She is basicly adding more problem to her problem. Its the same like its too hot so let me put on mine winter jacket and then complain I sweat more.
You’re so right. In Western societies, working class people we usually can afford only fast fashion products and lots are now polyester, poliamide… Many people dont look at the composition, but it is a crucial detail regarding body odor and sweating. Living in the spanish summer, you start to appreciate cotton
Carpe and SweatBlock antiperspirants are the first ones to actually help reduce sweat for me. Highly recommend to anyone desperate for something that at least kinda works and isn’t willing to get Botox under your arms
I use DERMAdoctor Total Nonscents. I love wearing fragrances, but not on my underarms. 😂 One application lasts for days. I’ve been having trouble finding stores that carry it lately though.
What about boob sweat?? I have two more huge armpits under my boobs and they sweat more than actual armpits, and if I don’t wear an absorbent cloth tucked under, intertrigo recurs. What might you suggest Dr Dray? Or is a reduction/lift for oversized breasts in order in such cases? I don’t want to apply aluminum under my breasts due to risks associated with aluminum…
Thank you 🙏🙏
Any tips if you actually have hyperhidrosis?

CertainDry antiperspirant, applied at night after showering.

There’s no conclusive evidence. Finding aluminium in breast cancer tissue doesn’t mean it caused the cancer. Correlation does not equal causation!
no
Dr dray has videos on this topic. I recommend checking them out
@@elirodriguez0 lab muffin beauty also has multiple videos explaining it 👍🏽
I thought aluminum was not good for us, hence, so many deodorant/antiperspirants advertising they are “aluminum free” 🤷🏼♀️

those are just deodorants, not antiperspirants.

Yeah this is not a lot of sweat especially if she’s somewhere where it’s hot
Linen is also antimicrobial 😍

Dryosol and botox

Isn’t aluminum bad ?
no
What about underboob and back sweat?
What about my head sweating soooo much?
What can I do?
I thought aluminum was bad for our bodies?
Well that and when you wear tight clothing, your body is going to sweat
I think I’m allergic to those antiperspirants, they make me SUPER itchy and it hurts. What to substitute?
Botox under the arms or there is medication to prevent excessive sweating.
There is also botox injections for excessive sweating if this is a realistic solution for you.
Neurotoxic 😷
And what do you do with
sweat, that pours down from your head, so you look like you just washed your hair??? How you stop/handle that?

Augmentation makes them bigger.. I’m confused how this would help?
@@kelammoI obviously meant to say reduction/lift. You might have just asked, rather than being snarky.
Which one is so great we don’t even have to use it every night???????????????? OMG cut down on sweat, I will buy it right now!!!!!😂😂
I use clinical strength deodorant it works and I have hyperhidrosis
