How To Treat Sweaty Palms

Are you afraid to shake hands or high-five? Do you avoid holding hands with your lover? Do your palms get clammy and damp when you get nervous? Relax! There is help for you. Learn how to manage and control your sweaty palms in a few easy steps.

Step 1: In The Moment

Need to dry your palms right now? Clap a little cornstarch or talcum powder between your hands. Or try the medicated powder you use on your feet toll soak up moisture and odor.

Step 2: Ahead Of Time

If you're worried your palms are going to sweat, take preventative measures. Put some clear, unscented antiperspirant right on them. Look for the kind with aluminum chloride - it blocks your sweat ducts.

Step 3: Relax

If your palms get clammy when you're nervous, you have to learn how to relax and control your anxiety. Try yoga, meditation or biofeedback to keep your hands dry.
