What can I do about sweating so much?

How can I stop sweating so much?

• Exactly what it says on the tin I sweat immense amounts through my face. Not through my armpits, not on my back or chest, but my face. I have started to bring a towel to school for P.E. to dry off. P.E. is at the end of my school day, and there is a long way between the Gymnasium to my bus, including 3 flights of stairs. By the time [before, actually] I get to my bus, I am sweating immensely again. Any one who notices it asks the same question, Why do you sweat so much? And it all comes down to one answer: I have always sweat like this. I was wondering if there was a way to stop sweating like this so much. I can not buy pills or herbs, so don't even BEGIN to bring that up. My sweating has two causes: Exercise and Heat.

• Answer:

  I do the same thing! One thing I discovered about myself is that I am very allergic to chemicals in clothing and plastics and such. If others around me are wearing clothes that are new or if I go into a store filled with new clothes, my face breaks out in a sweat. That would happen in zero-degree weather! Now, I just carry an anti-histamine every where I go, take one before I even walk into the store or am going to be around the stuff--and no problems! I have found you don't have to spend a lot of money on them--generic kinds for less than $2 work fine. In the summer heat, I sometimes carry one of those little battery-powered "personal fans" around my neck or in my purse. They work great! Another thing that works great is cooling bandanas. Lots of folks who work in the heat or exercise a lot wear them. You can buy them at most Walmarts, sports and hardware stores, like the ones in the source. And for sopping sweat, NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING beats those sponge sheets they carry in the housewares department (see source)--they come in different brands but you can see the pics below. You get 2 for about $1--and I carry them with me all the time because I also tend to sweat in my hair--and they dry it FAST--and are ready to go again. Wash them with your clothes, air dry, and stick some in a pocket to carry everywhere you go. They're absolutely great--would NOT be without them!
