Is sweating healthy?

Sweating is a vital protective function: the metabolism and every movement generate heat. Body temperature must be regulated by sweating, especially during sport or in the summer heat. Evaporating sweat on the skin generates cold, which cools the body down.

Sweating is also important when you have a fever. When the body’s defences are activated, the temperature often rises, which causes the body to cool down through increased sweating.

Sweating also supports the balance of the skin microbiome. This protective film promotes a healthy skin barrier that maintains the acidic pH value and produces antimicrobial substances against pathogens. Moderate sweating helps to maintain the skin’s natural balance.

Excessive sweating, on the other hand, can lead to skin irritation and illnesses and can also have a major impact on everyday life. Sweat-Off is available for precisely these situations. You can read more about the influence of Sweat-Off on temperature regulation here.
