There are lots of fun reason to look forward to summer; beach trips, pool parties, and boat rides, to name a few. If I had it my way, I would spend each glorious summer day lounging waterside with an umbrellaed cocktail in my hand. Unfortunately, most of the summer days are spent just like the other days of the year — only a lot hotter. And along with that heat, your sweat quotient amps up in an attempt to cool your body. But never fear, there are ways to keep yourself from sweating this summer so you can stay cool and comfortable in any heatwave.
Keeping those sweat glands in check may be easier that you imagined. Whether you have sweaty hands, feet, pits, or face, making a few changes to your usual routine can give you that shower fresh feeling all summer long. While the sun beats down, you can feel confident that none of those unwanted sweat rings are going to form on your fave dress. Avoiding certain foods and drinks, as well as trading out your old products for stronger versions are all effective ways to give sweat the middle finger.
To keep yourself from sweating this summer, try these 15 tricks to dryer pits, and raise a glass to days spent poolside.
