Sweat control isn’t easy — and once you start, it can be really hard to stop. Whether it’s triggered by heat or simply nerves, it’s both completely natural and extremely annoying. However, hiding perspiration is mandatory if you’re in the public eye. With that in mind, celebrities deal with sweating just like we do, but how do they control it?
From wipes to “bust dust” to minty oils, there are so many ways in which celebrities fend off excessive sweating. Keep reading from some go-to methods from your favorite faces (and armpits? Maybe? Ew).
How 5 Celebrities Deal With Excessive Sweating
1. Zendaya: Zendaya uses coconut milk underarm deodorant wipes, and says they are one of her favorite beauty products.
“These are amazing,” she told PopSugar. “They are so convenient and easy to travel with.”
2. Busy Phillips: The Younger star says she uses talc-free Bust Dust. In fact, she used it to curb pit stains at the 2020 Golden Globes.
3. Olivia Wilde: Book Smart director Olivia Wilde is a fan of Agent Nateur holi deodorant made with beeswax, which is supposedly stronger than a prescription antiperspirant.
4. Sabrina Carpenter: Being a pop star, it’s hard not to break a sweat on stage. But Sabrina Carpenter’s makeup artist says Cetaphil’s Oil-Free Hydrating Lotion and other hydrating products prevent your makeup from running. Who knew?
5. Jonathan Van Ness: Sweating under the blow dryer is inevitable. But hair expert Jonathan Van Ness says the cure is Aveda Cooling Balancing Oil.
“You just put a little spot of it on the back of your neck and a little bit on your wrist,” he revealed in an interview. “It will keep you cool like little wintergreen fairies are blowing on the back of your neck for like an hour.”
5 Alternative Sweat Control Methods:
1. If you’re willing to go under the knife, some get Botox in their armpits to reduce sweat production.
2. There are prescription and over-the-counter antiperspirant pills.
3. Stylists can sew in shoulder pads to absorb sweat around the neck or armpit line.
4. Low cut dresses often prevent sweat stains.
5. Wearing lighter colors can also reduce sweat production.
