It doesn't "produce" salt. The body is 80 % water and the water has electrolytes dissolved. Na (sodium) is 140 mmol/liter and chloride (Cl) is 103 mmol/liter. When we sweat we excrete water along with these electrolytes. When the water evaporates it leaves the salts NaCl and other electrolytes on the surface of the skin.
