Khaberni - Excessive sweating is a common issue in winter, particularly with the use of heating and wearing heavy clothes, and it can affect daily comfort and sleep. To address this problem, Dr. Raj Arora, a general practitioner and health content provider on social media platforms, offers practical tips to reduce sweating in cold weather.
Dr. Arora posted a video on TikTok, explaining that winter sweating is not only due to the cold weather but also relates to how the body regulates its heat, the types of fabrics worn, and certain daily habits that might exacerbate the issue without one's realization.
She said: "Winter sweating is a reality, linked to layers of clothing, heating, and stress, and you might find yourself sweating more than in the summer." She emphasized the importance of distinguishing between deodorants and antiperspirants, explaining that antiperspirants work to reduce the amount of sweat, while deodorants only neutralize the smell.
She advised using products like Driclor and Perspirex to control excessive sweating, stressing the necessity to ensure the phrase "antiperspirant" is on the packaging.
She added that products containing aluminum help reduce sweating, while aluminum-free deodorants like Bionsen can neutralize the odor without affecting the amount of sweat.
Dr. Arora recommended applying antiperspirant at night, as it works during sleep to reduce sweating the following morning, emphasizing the importance of skin care and modifying some daily habits to improve comfort and relaxation in winter.
