So I am following this amazing YouTube guru Tati and I saw a video where she shared her weird beauty secrets. and one of them was using a gel based anti-perspirant on face to make your face less sweaty not oily. less sweaty. since I live in a super humid city I am always trying to keep my face sweat free. otherwise its fine but during special occasions like a wedding event I would like to stay sweat free and oil free.
so has anyone tried this? what about spraying yourself with antiperspirants? but those have fragrances so that might irritate skin right? please share your thoughts! if its a genuine hit trick then wow!

I personally wouldn't do this as I think it would irritate my skin and secondly I can't imagine it feels good

Uh yeah I think that sounds like a unpleasant thing to put on your face! And I would say definitely don't do with any deodorant with perfume!

I think I would just invest in a really good oil control moisturiser and primer!

Mehron makes Skin Prep Pro (formerly called Sweat Stop) that is designed for theatrical/effects/editorial makeup. It's an antiperspirant primer that works well and generally doesn't cause skin issues (certainly not as problematic as slathering armpit antiperspirant on your face). Might be worth a look, though I wouldn't recommend it for every day use.

Sweating, though it doesn't feel very pleasant, actually does serve a purpose and is necessary. Blocking it too much can cause issues. Now, sweating EXCESSIVELY can also be a problem, so if you find that you are sweating a lot or in situations where you don't think you ought to be sweating, see a doctor.

Oh wow thanks for the recommendation! yeah no just for special occasions..ofcourse anything that stops sweating will clog pores and create new problems.
no, I don't sweat excessively, it's just too hot and humid so sweating more is normal when not in a/c etc. thanks for all the replies gals!

Ugh I wouldn't. You don't want to trap all the yucky stuff that's meant to come outta your pores. I'm imagining pores just packed with crud that is blocked in them...Ick!!

But sweating is so necessary for your body to release toxins!

MAC has a new base out that totally waterproof & sweat proof! It's kinda hard to work with at first, you can't use too much or it looks awful, but it doesn't budge.
