Get some space so you can gain perspective on your parent’s behavior and your relationship with them. If you’re around toxic or abusive behavior all the time, you may get used to it. Taking a break can help you get a clearer-eyed look at what’s wrong.  If you still live with your parents, creating some distance can be tough. Try joining extracurricular activities that keep you out of the house, spending time with friends who have healthier family dynamics, and arranging your sleep schedule to minimize the amount of toxic behavior you’re exposed to. If you no longer live at home, try a time-out from contact with them, including texts, phone calls, and visits. Coming to terms with a parent’s toxic behavior can be difficult emotionally. Allow yourself time to experience a range of feelings, and avoid judging yourself for those feelings. Anger, sadness, guilt, and relief are a few of the emotions you might experience. It’s not uncommon for toxic people to be abusive as well. Remember that abusers are acting out their own pain. If you’ve been abused by your toxic parent, know that their behavior is not your fault and not a reflection on your own character, no matter what they may have told you. Growing up with a toxic parent can create emotional complications and relationship difficulties later in life. A mental health professional can help you unlearn negative thought patterns, adopt good coping strategies, and build stronger relationships.

summary: Take a step back from your parents. Give yourself time to process your feelings. Remind yourself that emotional abuse is not your fault. See a therapist.

Sweat is the natural reaction that your body has to becoming overheated, so staying cool is the simplest way to stop sweating. Turn down the thermostat to make your space cooler, if you can. You can also use a fan to stay cool.  For example, keep a fan at your workstation to blow on your face. When you're on the go, you can take a portable fan. This allows you to blow cool air on your face, even on the hottest of days. After washing your face, apply the astringent to a cotton ball or pad, then dab it over your face. Pay special attention to your temples and forehead near the hairline. You can then continue your skincare routine.  You can use the astringent in the morning and evening. If your skin becomes irritated, reduce or discontinue use. You can find an astringent over-the-counter at a drug store or online. Check the ingredient list for tannins. For example, witch hazel is a common astringent that contains tannins. It will temporarily block your sweat glands from producing sweat. Most people apply antiperspirant at night before bed. However, for facial sweating you may prefer to apply it in the morning after washing your face.  Don't get the antiperspirant in your eyes, nose, or mouth. You may want to cover the center of your face when you apply the product to protect it, such as with a towel. Talk to your doctor before using an antiperspirant on your face. Facial sweating often starts along your scalp. A dry shampoo can help you clean your hair and scalp even if you don’t have time to take a shower. It will remove sweat residue and help you stay clean longer. Hold the dry shampoo about 8 inches (20 cm) from your head. Starting at the front of your part, spray 2 in (5.1 cm) sections of your hair, moving from your hairline to the nape of your neck. Massage the dry shampoo to evenly distribute it.  You can carry dry shampoo with you throughout the day for touch-ups. This helps manage your excessive facial sweating. If you get extra sweaty during exercise, you might carry the dry shampoo in your gym bag. Caffeine is a common culprit behind excessive sweating, and it can make your sweat smell worse. Skip coffee, soda, and caffeinated tea if you want your face to stay dry.  If you love coffee, you could try switching to decaffeinated coffee. Avoid hot beverages when you’re sweating. Drink 8 cups (1,900 ml) of water a day to stay hydrated throughout the day. Spicy foods can make you sweat more. Additionally, they can intensify the smell of your sweat. Avoiding these foods is an easy way to limit how much sweat your body produces.  Stay away from dishes that contain peppers, including pepper sauces like harissa and sriracha. Even black pepper adds spice. Instead, look for dishes that are seasoned with herbs like basil, thyme, or rosemary. You can do your relaxation techniques to help you stay calm during moments you’re more likely to sweat. For example, you might use a relaxation technique before giving a big presentation at work. Here are some great ways to relax:   Meditate to calm your mind and lower your heart rate. This can help you calm down before a big meeting or after an upsetting situation occurs.  Do yoga daily to keep your stress levels under control. Start your day with a short yoga practice, or use it to calm down after work. Over time, it will help you maintain a calm demeanor.  Do breathing exercises to calm down when you feel stressed. For example, you can use them to calm down in traffic or just before you give a presentation. This will help you manage your sweat while at work or school. You can remove your outer layers to cool down before you start sweating. For example, wear a cardigan or blazer that you can remove.

summary: Lower the room temperature or use a fan to cool off. Use an astringent containing tannic acid. Apply an antiperspirant to your scalp, temples and upper forehead. Clean your scalp with a dry shampoo, as needed. Avoid caffeine to reduce sweating. Cut out spicy foods, as they can increase sweating. Engage in relaxation techniques to help manage stress sweating. Dress in layers so that you can remove some.

If you do not enjoy eating iron-rich foods (or on days when you're just too busy) another option is to take iron supplements. Iron supplements are inexpensive and safe. Avoid taking high-dose iron supplements if you aren’t anemic since too much could damage vital organs. Unfortunately, iron supplements can have negative side-effects. Some of these are mild, and may go away as your body gets used to the medicine. Other side-effects (though less common) may be serious and should prompt you to seek medical care. Of course, if any side-effect is bothersome, or if you have questions, contact your doctor right away.  Side-effects that do not usually need medical attention include:  Constipation Diarrhea or vomiting Leg cramps Dark urine Stained teeth Heartburn   Side-effects that should prompt medical attention include:  Backache or muscle pain Severe nausea or vomiting Metallic taste Dizziness or fainting Pain, numbness, or tingling in hands and feet Fast heartbeat Severe headache Flushed skin Rash or hives Trouble breathing Swelling of mouth and throat Whether it is consumed in food form or by way of supplements, vitamin B-6 is a necessary companion for iron.

A surplus of calcium in your system can make it more difficult for your body to absorb iron.
