I basically sweat a lot when I exercise and hydrated. As everyone knows, the more advanced you get in ballroom, the more muscles you are using, hence more sweat. I am okay with sweating a lot during practice, and my partner doesn't have a problem with that neither. Yet I think this will cause a problem on the competition floor, especially with my heavy make-up. In the past, I tried to cope with it by dehydrating myself in the week of competition, but I figured out this is not good for my body. So now my question is what I should/can do to help me sweat less? Does anyone out there have a similar problem? Any helps will be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks,

Ruth

you can put secreat sport anywhere on your body, not just your arm pits.

Hi Babyruth,

Unfortunately, if you sweat too much, you sweat too much. I don't believe there is anything that can be done about that. I tend to sweat a lot too while competing. If you use good stage makeup, you shouldn't have a problem. I use MAC studio fix which stays extremely well. It also does a great job of hiding how red I get! Couple that with waterproof eyeliner and mascara, and you should be fine.

After every round, blot your face with a towel and keep yourself cool with a fan.

If I hear of any other products or ideas, I'll pass them along.
