You've been showered and dressed for barely an hour and already your armpits feel clammy. Though some of us sweat more than others naturally, there are a few things you can do to perspire less profusely. First, lay off the coffee, cocktails and smokes. These vices can turn your glands into a faucet. Second, choose breathable fabrics like cotton to keep your body temperature down. If these tricks fail, upgrade to a clinical-strength deodorant, which contains more active ingredients (in most cases, some for of aluminum salt) to plug underarm pores, no prescription necessary. For protection that won't quit after a few hours, try a top-rated pick like Secret Clinical Strength Antiperspirant, $8.99, or Certain Dri Regular Roll-On, $8.49. Apply clinical-strength antiperspirant at night. While you're sleeping, you sweat just enough to pull the active ingredient into your glands and start the plugging process.
