Itchy skin – what to do about it?

Itchy skin can be very uncomfortable, but it is usually harmless. The causes vary and may include insect bites, atopic eczema (commonly known as dermatitis), or various allergies.

The salts in sweat can also dry out the skin or trigger autoallergic reactions, leading to itching. Areas particularly affected include skin folds such as the armpits, backs of the knees, and elbows. Sweat-Off can help relieve these symptoms.

IMPORTANT: Never apply Sweat-Off to already irritated skin and always use it sparingly. Overuse can also lead to itching. We explain more here.
