What causes facial sweating?
It is said that sweating around the face is due to the fact that it is difficult to sweat throughout the body. When we become accustomed to being in a comfortable air-conditioned environment or lack of exercise, more than half of the 2~5 million sweat glands in the body go dormant, but only the sides and face near the heart have active sweat glands, making it easy to sweat locally. There is also the possibility of facial hyperhidrosis, in which sweating occurs mainly on the face due to autonomic nervous system disorders, menopausal disorders, obesity, etc. If you are concerned about this, consult a specialist.
How to counteract facial sweating?
Here are some methods to counteract facial sweating in advance.
How to prevent facial sweating (1) “Make exercise a habit” so that the whole body sweats.
It is easy to imagine that increasing muscle mass through exercise increases metabolism and makes it easier to sweat. In addition, regular exercise and sweating can be expected to awaken the sweat glands that have been dormant. If it is difficult to do muscle training, it would be a good idea to start walking or jogging at a pace that makes you feel a little breathless and for a time that makes you sweat. Incidentally, it is said that exercises that mark a certain number of rhythms, such as aerobic exercise, can also be expected to regulate the autonomic nervous system.
How to prevent facial sweating (2) “Regulate the autonomic nervous system” by getting a good night’s sleep and relaxing in the bathtub.
Many men cannot stop their face from sweating when they are nervous. This may be due to the fact that the sympathetic nervous system, which stimulates sweating, has become hypersensitive and excessively dominant due to stress. To improve this situation, it is important to balance the autonomic nervous system. The first priority in your life should be to get around 7 hours of good quality sleep and to soak in a hot tub. Both are said to be effective in regulating the autonomic nervous system. Incidentally, alternating between sauna and cold water baths, which have become increasingly popular over the past few years, is also effective in regulating the autonomic nervous system.
Countermeasure for Facial Sweat (3) “Using the Skin Pressure Reflex”
This method has long been used by Maiko for makeup removal. This method takes advantage of the fact that sweat on the opposite side of the face increases while sweat on the compressed area decreases. Originally, this method was adjusted by tightly fastening an obi when wearing a kimono, but if ordinary people want to imitate this method, they should use a string, a commercially available sweat band, or a sweat belt. However, be aware that prolonged pressure may put a strain on the body.
How to prevent facial perspiration (4) “Cool the area around the lymph nodes.”
If you start sweating and want to stop it, it is effective to cool the lymph nodes around the neck and armpits. Cooling the areas where lymphatic vessels are concentrated will effectively cool down the body, thereby reducing perspiration. At home, wrap a thin towel around a cooling agent and apply it to the area. If you are out and about, use a cool drink or a cooling towel to cool the neck and other parts of the body.
Method 5: “Use antiperspirants
The quickest way to stop facial sweating is to use antiperspirants. The ingredients in antiperspirants work by blocking the exit of sweat glands and astringent of sweat glands to stop sweat from coming out.
