STREAKS OF SWEAT

Your clingy skin-tight dress reveals everything – even some, uh, sweat spots under your breast, armpits, and/or back. “Silk and stretch jersey in light colors are very unforgiving when it comes to moisture stains,” says local knitwear designer Lulu Tan Gan. Also, when your outfit is on the tight side, your skin is more likely to come into contact with the fabric such that just a bit of perspiration anywhere is more likely to show.

Fast Fix
Head for the bathroom, and adjust the nozzle of the hand dryer so that it hits the area affected. Or, duck into a stall strip down, and blot the dress (and your skin) with a paper towel to mop up the excess wetness if you have a jacket or shawl, use it to strategically cover the areas that have been stained.

Next time:
Lightly powder sweat-prone areas – this will help keep perspiration at bay, and keep you smelling fresh, too. Try Block and White Deodorant powder, Php 73. Also wear a cotton bra since it helps absorb body moisture, suggests Tan Gan.” It’s a good idea to keep a travel-size deodorant in your purse or office drawer, too, so you can reapply if the temp skyrockets or you start dancing up a storm.
