Instructions

• 1

  Discontinue using facial products that block pores. Sweat glands have a tendency to perspire when they are covered up. It is a natural reaction to try and open the pores. Therefore, if you have been using facial creams, oils or Vaseline, you may want to discontinue usage of these products. Once your face is completely dry for a few days, excessive facial sweating may be alleviated.

• 2

  Apply corn starch. Corn starch powder may be applied to any face that is prone to excess sweating. The corn starch will soak up the perspiration, making your face less shiny and making you feel more comfortable.

• 3

  Carry a handkerchief. Mopping a brow or dabbing your face that is perspiring, is a very well known and acceptable practice. Also, if you do it discreetly, you may help yourself to feel more comfortable about the condition. This can actually lead to less sweating since your body sweats more in uncomfortable situations.
