Let’s just face it… humans sweat—and it can be pretty gross. During the summer, sweating is at an all-time high. No matter how little clothing we wear, it doesn’t seem to stop. Our hair sticks to our necks, our makeup runs, and it’s all-around uncomfortable. While the heat is vicious during summer months, there are ways to reduce sweating and keep us from looking totally drenched all day!
