People all over the world suffer from excessive facial sweating or though seldom do they speak about it. Excessive facial sweating can’t be controlled simply by having a hanky or tissue nearby as the constant sweating means that every time you wipe away one trickle of sweat another one appears and begins to streak down your face. It’s an embarrassing, inconvenient condition known as Facial Hyperhidrosis.
The face is rather sensitive in comparison to the rest of the body so it is very important that you seek a treatment which is not likely to cause harsh irritations such as rashes, itching skin and also dried out skin. There are some products for excessive sweating which are specifically formulated for use on the face. There are facial wipes available which are designed to wipe the sweat from your face and also assist in keeping your face perspiration free. A more natural approach in treating excessive is to treat it using an extract of the herb witch hazel. There are many products available which contain witch hazel at drug stores. The herb has anti inflammatory properties and works very well in reducing facial sweating. Another upside when it comes to witch hazel is that it is easily available and a prescription is not needed.
Aloe Vera is another natural product which you could use to help combat your excessive facial sweating. The healing properties of Aloe Vera for all kinds of skin conditions have been known for hundreds and possibly even thousands of years. You can purchase aloe Vera gels in supermarkets and drug stores and it is quite cheap. Simply apply lightly all over your face and the aloe Vera gel should help to control your sweating for a couple of hours. This treatment is really good for when you have an appointment or meeting or you are going out for a few hours as it doesn’t cause irritation, other people can’t see that you have it on your face and it smells great.
If you are wanting to permanently get rid of this condition though you will need to consider more invasive treatment methods such as surgery. There are a few operations available to you to treat your excessive sweating. One treatment goes by the name of Iontophoreses which involves a current of electricity being passed through water and the parts of your body which are affected by the excessive sweating are then dipped or bathed in this water in order to disable the sweat glands in the area. The sessions aren’t exactly pleasant and pain free but patients do find some relief after multiple treatments. This treatment may not be very effective in those who have severe cases of hyperhidrosis though. Botox is another common treatment method available but it’s only useful if you can afford the injections at least once and possibly even twice a year and it’s not really suitable for you if you have a phobia or general dislike for needles.
The best option to take first is natural remedies; these are often the most affordable treatments and carry the lowest risks in regards to side effects and further complications.
