Title: Antiperspirant on the head?
Post by: Rev. Cleanhead on July 27, 2014, 03:01:26 PM

If this has been discussed previously, forgive me and direct me to the correct place.  (Admittedly, I don't check in often enough to keep up with everything being discussed here.)

One of the guys I work with suggested I try applying spray-on antiperspirant to my head.  Has anybody done this?  Does it make any difference with excessive head sweat? 

I've always been a pretty heavy sweater -- summer, winter... indoors, outside... I sweat.  Sometimes, especially in the warm months when it's really humid outside, it looks like I'm standing beneath an invisible faucet -- even if I'm inside an air-conditioned room.  I usually just repeatedly wipe the sweat with a hankie and try to sit/stand beneath a fan.  But this antiperspirant idea has me curious.

I can see how that would be tempting... my head sweats a lot too.   I don't think it would be a good idea, though.   I'm thinking your head would still sweat enough to make it run down into your eyes.  Plus, the aluminum and other ingredients could be a concern too.
