Hyperhidrosis refers to excessive bodily sweating. Facial sweating is a part of this condition and sometimes makes daily living difficult. Underlying conditions or overproduction by the body's sweat glands can cause it. You should visit your physician if you experience an above-average level of sweating, especially when you have not exerted physical energy. There are treatments to minimize sweating; however, there is no cure for hyperhidrosis.
Step 1
Cleanse your face daily to remove bacteria and dried perspiration. According to MayoClinic.com, this keeps your risk of infection to a minimum. Use a gentle cleanser and warm water when cleansing.
Step 2
Drink eight to 10 glasses of water daily to replace lost fluids, suggests the University of Maryland Medical Center. Sweating eliminates electrolytes and increases the risk of dehydration. Replacing lost fluids will help prevent this from happening while flushing out the toxins in your body.
Step 3
Participate in stress-reducing exercise such as yoga and biofeedback. According to MayoClinic.com, these exercises will help you to control the triggers that cause excess facial sweating. Relaxation techniques such as deep breathing and meditation may also help.
Step 4
Lower the temperature in your home, suggests the University of Maryland Medical Center. Lowering the temperature indoors can help prevent sweat glands from being triggered to cool down the body with perspiration.
Step 5
Wear natural fiber hats and bandannas when exercising or going outdoors. Cotton, wool and certain fitness clothing fabrics allow the skin to breathe and absorb excess sweat, according to MayoClinic.com. Avoid materials such as nylon and rayon.
