The Link Between Stress & Sweat—How to Stay Cool Under Pressure

Ever noticed how you suddenly start sweating more right before a big meeting or when you're feeling nervous at a social event — even though it’s not hot at all? You’re definitely not imagining it.

So, what’s going on?

When we’re stressed, our body kicks into “fight-or-flight” mode. It releases adrenaline, which gets your heart pumping and — yep — fires up those sweat glands (thanks, body). This is your system’s way of trying to cool you down while staying alert and ready for anything.

But if you deal with excessive sweating (hello, hyperhidrosis), this reaction can go from mildly annoying to seriously uncomfortable — fast.

Here’s how to keep your cool when stress hits:

🧘♀️ Breathe it out
Taking slow, deep breaths can help calm your nervous system and stop stress in its tracks — and the sweat along with it.

👕 Dress smart
Stick to breathable fabrics and try adding something like DRITAL Perspiration Controlling Powder to your routine. It helps absorb moisture quickly and keeps things comfortable.

💧 Don’t forget to hydrate
Sweat can feel stickier when you’re dehydrated. Drinking enough water keeps your body balanced and helps you feel fresher overall.

If stress-induced sweating is a constant battle, DRITAL Perspiration Controlling Powder offers fast-acting moisture absorption and friction reduction—keeping you fresh, confident, and dry no matter the situation.
