Sweating is a natural and essential process that helps regulate body temperature, especially during hot weather or physical activity. But it’s not always triggered by heat. Stress, anxiety, and emotional responses can also cause sweating, even when your body doesn’t need to cool down.

After all, how we smell and present ourselves often reflects our self esteem and how we feel in social or professional settings.

This natural process is accelerated by external and biological factors such as sun exposure, lifestyle habits, and the gradual decline in collagen and elastin production. The result? Sagging skin, fine lines, and a loss of youthful contour.
