Excessive sweating of the face- this is now a common complaint in hot weather.
If your face has been feeling more like a waterfall than skin lately, you’re not alone. This hot weather has many of us dealing with extra glow—a little too much glow!
Understanding why it happens is the first step to feeling more comfortable. Here’s what dermatologists often point to:
🔍 Common Causes:
📍First of all, you need to know the causes of excessive sweating:
Dermatologists say facial hyperhidrosis can be caused by several reasons:
>Primary hyperhidrosis: which is caused by genetic or unknown causes.
>Secondary hyperhidrosis: any other medical condition (such as thyroid problems, diabetes,can be from stress/anxiety).
>Excessive Sebum production: Sometimes the skin is always sweaty due to the mixture of sweat and oil, resulting in a greasy feel.
📍What can I do if there is excessive sweating on the face:
>Proper Cleansing-
Oil and dirt build up with sweat can clog pores. So use oil control cleanser in weekly routine along with mild cleanser.
For example: salicylic based cleansers that are extra oilyVery effective in control.
>Using an alcohol-free toner –
The toner keeps the skin cool and tightens the pores, thereby reducing sweating. In this case, green tea toner is very effective
>Oil Free Moisturizer:
Sweat means oily skin!
But if the moisturizer is removed, the skin produces more oil. Therefore, in summer time, use an oil-free or gel-based light moisturizer.Hydration is essential.
>Using Mattifying Sunscreen –
Many times sweat increases in creamy sunscreen with heavy texture. Therefore choosing a matte finish or oil control sunscreen is the best decision.
>Carry blotting paper or tissue:
If you are outside, gently remove the sweat from your face with a tissue. But just press without rubbing.
Also, blotting sheets/loose powder will work well to control oil on the face.
>Stress& Diet Management:
Excess tension, excess caffeine, spicy food increase sweating.
So drink more water and reduce spicy food. Because, if the temperature inside the body is kept right, sweat is also reduced. Besides, breathing exercises will relax the autonomic nerves which helps in controlling sweating.
❤️ A Couple of Important Notes:
>If your skin type is oily, sweat and oil can be high together. In that case, maintain a regular skin care routineIt is very important to do.
>If your excessive sweating is a new problem, or night sweats, or accompanied by weight loss/low energy, it is best to see an endocrinologist for a hormone checkup.
