sweat

[tash_1987]

i generally sweat alot, especially on my face. is there any way i can reduce this?

possibly? If you are overweight you will sweat a lot but if you are not then there isnt much you can do about it. I am generally fit but at the gym I sweat like michelle mcmanus in a sauna. Drinking plenty of water may help slightly.

If you exercise regularly you will be prone to sweating more. Physiologically, sweating is good and healthy (gets rid of toxins as well as regulating body temp). I'm not suggesting that you become a couch potato (unless you already are one, then see nedflanders' post ;-) ) and I don't know that there's much you can do about it...
I would see your doctor, as hyperhidrosis can be a symptom of an underlying medical condition. xx

Hi. I sweat a ridiculous amount. So does my mother. You may have over-active sweat glands, (I think that's what malaise was refering to) it's not unhealthy, but do go see the doc. cause' he can help.

Wearing natural fibres can help too.

Materials like cotton and linen will allow your skin to breathe so much more than any synthetic material.

Sweat is health.. take as a liquid reward for you getting all the toxins out of your body.. If you dont wear a hat try wearing one.. I could never run with out a cap on.. all the sweat from my head would be in my eyes...

So my advice is to wear a hat!

over active sweating is called hyperhidrosis, products like driclor or odaban have high aluminium content and so block sweat glands making the skin dry.

Over active sweating is known as hyperhydrosis, it affects the face, underarms back and hands. products such as driclor and odaban work amazingly on blocking sweat glands due to their high aluminium content - boots sell them.
