I am an extreme sweaty person, and I have arrived at 5 measures that work immediately.

“That means you have a good metabolism!” Don’t worry about it!” “It’s bad for you if you force yourself to stop sweating. I, who am so sweaty that I cannot even heed the words of my friends who say, “It’s bad for your health if you force yourself to stop sweating,” will introduce a countermeasure that I have found to have an immediate effect.

I, an extreme sweaty person, arrived at a countermeasure against sweating with immediate effect 1Take a cold shower before going out

Cold showers are said to have positive effects on mental and physical health, and are a habit of highly conscious people in the business world and athletes. The cold shower is a habit of many conscious people and athletes in the business world. In addition to these benefits, I find it beneficial in that it reduces the amount of sweat that comes out of my body. If you are a sweaty person, you may have taken a bath and changed into fresh clothes before going out, but your clothes are soaked with sweat even before you leave the house…. In my case, I took a cold shower for about three minutes before getting out of the bath, and it helped a lot. It is said that a cold shower improves blood flow and warms the body, but in my case, I no longer sweat profusely right after taking a bath.

If you think that parasols are used by women and beauty guys who don’t want to get sunburned, please let go of that preconception about sweaty people. I would like you to throw that preconception out of the window. Parasols are effective in preventing sunburn, of course, but they also reduce the heat index by blocking direct sunlight and also suppress perspiration*, according to a survey conducted by the Ministry of the Environment. In my own experience, I have found that wearing a parasol keeps me cool and prevents me from sweating. Incidentally, I walk around the Jingumae area with a parasol on my way to work in the summer, and surprisingly, I have not been looked at strangely at all. I hope my fellow sweaty people will use parasols without any shame. I personally recommend using a rain or shine umbrella, as it can cope with the guerrilla downpour that has become a typical summer event in Japan.

*Measurements of the heat index (WBGT) at the “Free Parasol Lending Event” held by the Ministry of the Environment in cooperation with nine prefectures and cities showed a WBGT reduction effect of 1 to 3°C compared to the sun. For example, at Chiba City Zoological Park, the WBGT measurement was reduced by 3°C and the heat stroke alert level was lowered by one level when the parasols were worn. A comparison of two 15-minute walking exercises in an artificial weather room (temperature 30°C, humidity 50%, solar radiation 1.2 kW/m2 , wind speed 0.5 m/s), conducted by six male subjects wearing only a hat and using a parasol that cut more than 99% of solar radiation, showed that the amount of sweat was reduced by about 17%.

3 fast-acting sweat countermeasures I arrived at as an extreme sweaty personCooling the arteries

Cooling the back of the neck, under the armpits, behind the knees, wrists, and other places where arteries run can reduce sweating quite effectively. In my case, I sometimes put coolant between both sides of my body before going out. Miniature refrigerants like the ones shown in the image below, which you can get when you buy fresh food at supermarkets and department stores, are very useful, and I always keep them stocked in my refrigerator. I also like the fact that I can throw them in the trash if they get in the way when I am on the road.

Coolant mini-sweatshirts are useful to prevent sweating

A friend who works in the field taught me about using cooling sprays. The following sprays are for sports sprains, so I basically don’t recommend using them for any other purpose, but in my case I use them to cool my body. The cooling effect is outstanding, and a quick spray over the entire body will make you feel chilly, and the sweat will subside at once. I recommend spraying it on a towel or handkerchief and then applying the cooled towel to the skin, rather than spraying it directly on the skin. Prolonged direct spraying on the skin may cause frostbite or low-temperature burns, so please be very careful.

In addition, the “SUO RING” is also used. The cooling sensation is strong enough to suppress perspiration in the frozen state for only a short time, but then a mild cooling sensation continues. It is not very stylish from a fashionable point of view, so I basically utilize it when I don’t meet people from work, such as when I am commuting to work, otherwise I keep it in my bag.
