Easy Ways to Deal with Sweaty Palms

Here's a few tips for dealing with sweaty palms:

Deep breathing

Try doing deep breathing if you feel anxious or notice your hands starting to sweat. Take breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth to relax yourself.

Wipe your hands often on a discrete small cloth

Whenever the sweating begins you may use your secret cloth to absorb the sweat keeping your hands as dry as possible.

Use Talcum or Cornstarch Powder

A simple cure for sweaty palms that works well for some people is to use powder or cornstarch to soak up the excessive perspiration that ends up on their hands. Be sure to apply the powder over your entire hand and between the fingers. For best results, take a small container of power out with you and keep reapplying it to prevent breakthrough sweating. Give it a try for around a week and see if it helps.

Try Aluminum Chlorohydrate-based Antiperspirants

As well as working well for underarm sweating, antiperspirants can also work for excessively sweaty palms. The key is to use an aluminum chlorohydrate-based antiperspirant, not a deodorant. If you have a severe case antiperspirant may not be enough to control the symptoms, but this treatment is worth trying.

Is it a Sign of Something More Serious?

Certain medical problems, such as an an underlying infection or overactive thyroid can cause excessive sweating and if you have had the problem for some time, it's best to check with your doctor and get the appropriate blood tests run to rule out correctable medical causes for why your palms might sweat.
