This is such an embarrassing condition to deal with and it can be made even worse if you are already prone to oily skin. This issue is socially awkward for everyone involved, whether you are dealing with it or someone close to you is. Surprisingly very few people take action to eliminate it. Please read on to learn some tips to help manage excessive facial sweating
- Stop using all face creams and lotions! They can contain ingredients that worsen this condition and will also add extra shine to your face if you have oily skin to begin with.
- Be careful of all scrubs and face washes that you use. They can worsen the problem as much as creams can.
- Try to avoid super smelly foods such as garlic and curry. These food odours can potentially be absorbed into the sweat you produce which could make a bad situation even worse by adding unpleasant smells.
The most recommended product to use to help with excessive sweating is talcum powder. A light dusting may be applied to your face but depending on your skin tone it may not work well aesthetically. If you do give it a try please ensure that you cover or protect your eyes and nose from the powder.
Another option is to try loose cosmetic powder which can be purchased in any drugstore. You may want to look for ones that contain talcum powder already, or have a mineral base to prevent clogging your pores. If you are willing to spend a few more dollars you may even find a loose powder that has some oil control ingredients within the ingredients. If loose powder is simply too messy try a compact, but ensure that you stay away from the cream based ones.
