    Default I sweat A LOT... Will this work?

    my club has a lot of stage work and a stream machine that's level with the stage and ceiling which makes it hotter and I swear a lot sometimes my eyes burn from sweat and I have to go down to the dressing room and wipe down cuz I'm dripping. No odor but I can't help but perfume myself anyway out of self consciousness my deodorant holds up but I tee apply every few sets out of self-consciousness. if I put deodorant on my face will It help

    don't put deodorant on your face. that's a really bad idea.

    do you do cardio at all? I know it's likely just the smoke machine (and if so can you tip the dj to not use it when you're on stage?)
    but I know if I work out a lot of cardio, after about a week or two my cardio tolerance raises and my body isn't working as hard to do the
    previous amounts. This means I don't sweat as easily.

    Not sure if it would help you but maybe that would help?

    Applying hair spray to your face and body however will help keep your make up/tan in place . Sometimes we all sweat-just make sure you freshen up after your stage spot .

    do NOT put deodorant on your face girl!! most of its not even that good for your pits much less your sensitive facial skin. ick! they have sprays made for your face that will hold makeup in place. i used to sweat a lot, and i learned to take it a bit easier on stage and in the VIP, but some people just sweat more, i understand

    Never ever ever ever ever ever put deodorant on your face. IT GLOWS IN A BLACK LIGHT! How awful and embarrassing would that be...

    Do you have good skin? If so, as long as you can keep it out of your eye/lip makeup, then it shouldn't be a problem (since blush doesn't show up super well in club lighting anyway). And as long as it doesn't smell, you should be fine. I used to keep a little towel in my purse just for this purpose. I don't wear foundation at all - ever - so that helps.

    The amount you sweat is determined largely by genetics (as well as how in-shape you are), so there isn't much you can do about it. Sweat is healthy! It means your body is cooling itself down efficiently. So if you can sneak a towel into your purse and quickly touch up after getting off stage - ideally instead of going down to the dressing room, since guys generally want to buy dances as soon as you get off stage - then that will help.

    I know I used to dash down to the dressing room after getting off stage since I was self-conscious about my sweat. That can really cut into your ability to sell dances - so I'd avoid doing that if possible. The more self-conscious you are about it, the more people will notice it...so try to just put it out of your head. And if anyone mentions your sweat, just make an off-handed and dismissive remark about it - "Girls don't sweat; they glisten!"

    i have the same problem. after stage you can go freshen up but when you're in the middle of a string of dances/vip there's not a lot you can do except try to dance slower/exert yourself less. if someone mentions it i usually say something about how i'm just getting so "worked up" and act like it's because i'm turned on. most guys seem to either like it or not care. just make sure you use baby wipes/deoderant/spray as much as possible. if you smell good guys are probably less likely to mind a little sweat. also idk if this is an option for you but i've brought a little into the dressing room before.

    Girl I sweat like a racehorse. It's gross. But guys don't seem To care. A few guys have even told me its hot.

    One trick is to keep a cute fan with you. You can flirt with it and stuff. I do that sometimes And customers seem to like it n

    One of my 'signature' stage moves is grabbing two handfuls of ones and waving it over my body like a fan, making an "Ooh I'm getting so hotttt" face. What they don't know is that I'm literally really hot and hoping to dry my sweat before I get off stage.

    Any more sweat tips? I have to take a 5 minute cool-down break in the DR after my stages, which sucks because I'm sure I'd make more money. Argh, so frustrating!

    Ice water. Cools your inner body temp. Avoid alcohol and caffeine-they make you sweat more.

    Medically: aluminum chloride and Botox.

    MAC Fix+ works, drink water
    sometimes, if you work long shifts take a few mins to re apply makeup.

    The ONLY deodorant that I found does NOT glow (for me) is SECRET in the twist up
    I wouldnt out it in my face.

    I carry a folding fan. It's a great conversation starter. I bought a classy, black lace one, not a cheap plastic one.

    i just bought a cloth folding fan from a foreign imports store made with wicker and then a bright pink maribu one for the summer, can't wait to try these at work for those hot sweaty days! i've always LOVED those japanese fans but felt ridiculous using them in real life. good idea
