I have this every so BIG problem of sweating.. a LOT! I have the strongest deodorant there is and I still find my shirts get wet with sweat. I find big pit stains. I avoid buying anything white. I didn’t know what to do!!

I’ve been watching a lot of makeup tutorials lately and I keep running into the concept of “setting” your foundation with loose powder for the “matte” look (basically a dry look so your face doesn’t look oily or shiny). I thought to myself, “why not apply this to my sweating problem??” So, I tried it out: I used my deodorant as normal, and then I “set” it with some talc powder. The result??

Dry armpits!!! Oh my gosh, I was so excited to find that my shirts weren’t damp at the end of the day! Not only were they dry, they smelled great, too! (I have scented talc that I use.) Even on days I go without deodorant (just when I’m sitting at home, okay?!) because I know of the dangers connected to breast cancer, the powder still works great!!

I know it’s not the most attractive for when you’re wearing sleeveless tops or wearing black because it is a loose powder and can show, but it works really well for when I’m wearing t-shirts, or my armpits are covered in general.

I haven’t tried any other powders that aren’t a white color. If anyone knows of other types of powders or products to try, please leave a comment below! I’ve had this problem for a really long time and I’d like to know other remedies out there!
