How to Reduce Sweating Of the Face

While sweating during exercise or hot weather is normal, some people experience intense sweating for other reasons, including shyness or habits such as eating hot foods. Excessive sweating can be embarrassing and lead to problems with self-esteem. For women who wear makeup regularly, facial sweating can be an annoyance.

Step 1

Identify things that make you sweat and try to avoid them. According to Mother Nature, caffeine, spicy foods and alcohol can all increase the production of sweat. Hot drinks will also cause you to sweat, especially in hot climates. You might also sweat when you're under stress or feeling embarrassed. Anticipate these situations so you can deal with them. For example, take a few minutes for deep-breathing exercises or step away from the situation so you can calm down.

Step 2

Wash your face with cold tap water or fill a bowl with water and a few ice cubes. Splash your face repeatedly and allow to air dry or pat gently with a towel. Or, take a cold shower, as this will cool down your whole body and also reduce sweating. According to Ayushveda, cold water closes pores, reducing sweating.
