Question
ok i think i might have an issue.
im 15 and i used to use spray antiperspirants before school, sport etc: and i never sweated.
Now, i seem to ALWAYS sweat. The spray doesnt work anymore and i am useing nivea visage roll on antiperpirant, which so far works at night like magic!!! the when i use it again in the morning, i sweat heaps like 2 mins later. At school its so embarrassing cause the uniform is light green, so i have patches (but i know how to hide them) and even when its cooler, i feel the sweat!!!
its horrible. I was thinking, maybe to only use the nivea visage roll on at night, and not apply anything under arms in the morning. or what other brand will STOP all sweat, which is fairly affordable (im in australia)
thanks
xx

Answer
Dear Leah,

During teen years, your hormones are working overtime, like they are for you now.  Many teens feel that they sweat a lot, or too much.  It's normal to sweat a lot, especially during puberty, and you are not the only one with this problem.  I use Secret, but I'm not sure if they sell Secret in Australia.  Any type of Secret anti- persperent is good, but Secret Clynical Strength is the best, yet the most expensive.
