Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating. Even though it may be an embarrassing issue, heavy sweating affects an estimated 7% of Americans according to Mayo Clinic research. Hyperhidrosis may affect certain areas of the body (i.e., underams, feet, hands, etc.) and even though it’s not detrimental to health persay, excessive sweating is often indicative of other health problems, for instance: Thyroid issues (hyperthyroidism) Anxiety disorder Gout Menopause or perimenopause Presence of a tumor Diabetes Mercury poisoning Luckily, you can reduce hyperhidrosis with a few of the following products: 1.  Footwear deodorizers These charcoal-infused feet inserts literally absorb excess moisture and eliminate foot odors from the stinkiest of shoes…yes, even athletic shoes like well-used sneakers. Activated charcoal eliminates the nastiest smells from shoes (I’m looking at you, Uggs); these inserts can also be slipped into a hockey or gym bag, closet, into boots, and other tight spaces to soak up moisture at the source without the use of harmful or toxic chemicals. 2. Sweat pads and liners If you suffer from hyperhidrosis you likely have to bring an extra shirt with you wherever you go. But not only that, your clothes usually end up not lasting very long. If your wardrobe is ruined by sweat stains the good news is that protection can be found in sweat liners and pads.

Every woman is envious of the naked, glowing, flawless face. Come on, this is exactly why Instagram and Facebook created the “No Makeup Challenge”, women can’t stop dreaming of the perfect flawless complexion. Yet in reality, at least in social media terms, photoshop and photo filters go a long way to create this illusion. Real life is no different, the perfect no-makeup makeup requires a ton of light coverage foundation, contouring, and blending, but it doesn’t require the hands and brushes of a professional makeup artist. Achieve the flawless face of your dreams using the following steps: 1. Foundation primer Makeup primer provides the clean, smooth, even base for your foundation and makeup. You can think of a primer as the beauty product that prepares your art canvas (aka: face) for color, shading, and contouring. Foundation primer is applied smooth all over the face (including the eyelids), but comes in a powder, gel, or cream formula. If your face is oily, a powder primer will work best and it won’t be absorbed by facial oils. While a normal to dry face will do better with a cream or gel primer that moisturizes at the same time it creates a smooth, even base.
