Imagine going out on a hot summer day without worrying that your shirt will end up soaked in sweat under your arms, on your upper back, all down your abdomen, or all of the above. When youre dressing for work or a social event (while wearing a mask, of course), its tough to make a personal style statement thats not drenched in sweat.

Sweating is going to happen, no matter what you try to stop it. In fact, we need it to happen. Perspiration helps the body cool down to a healthy temperature when we experience a rise due to external or internal heat.

Exercise, stress, weather or hormonal changes can increase the heat, said board-certified dermatologist Kemunto Mokaya .

We spoke with doctors and stylists to help you come up with a no-sweat strategy, from the inside out. Heres their advice.

In case youre wondering why your armpits are such a sweaty problem...

Eccrine glands, which are in charge of producing sweat, are found all over your body, but are more concentrated in the armpits, palms and soles, said dermatologist Ife J. Rodney, founding director of Eternal Dermatology and Aesthetics in Maryland.
