Easy Ways of Controlling the Problem of Head Sweating
Posted by sleepyguy in Prescription Sleep Medicine on June 11th, 2011
The fact is that, people not only sweat from their underarms, but from other areas as well. Excessive sweating is called Hiperhidrosis. The occurrence of sweating is seen on their hands, feet, face, underarms, on their backs and even around and in the genital areas.
Almost any of these places may deem to be embarrassing to a person who is known to sweat in excess. Some people may even experience facial or head sweating even. Such a thing may be very difficult to deal with or for that matter to conceal even. What makes this so for people having facial or head sweating?
This is because it is not so easy to conceal head sweating where beads of sweat trickle down the head. On the other hand, it is easy to disguise other types of sweating. Due to this condition, if the sweat doesn’t trickle down one’s face, it may make one’s hair damp and maybe even make it smell stale. This is a problem which no one likes. Having head sweating which implies that one has a sweaty and smelly head can be a major problem for people.
In the end it this not only becomes uncomfortable, it also leads to itching in the scalp and some very extreme cases it may also lead to unhealthy hair. None the less, the best method to get rid of such a condition is to use good shampoos and conditioners. However, this can also be a factor which causes excessive head sweating. Thus, one needs to be very careful in choosing the right shampoo and conditioner.
For instance, if one has very long hair, use of chemicals may become disadvantageous in one’s efforts to control head sweating as one may have damp and dripping hair at all times. And definitely because of this more sweat will be generated and thereby making all the efforts that were taken would have been in vain.
After washing one’s hair, one usually uses a hair dryer to dry the moistened hair. This will make the scalp too hot and to curb it the head starts sweating to cool off the scalp. A dry scalp can dry and cause dandruff as well, which is another side effect of over-using a hair dryer.
There are no doubt a lot of things that one can do to not only deal with such things but also prevent head sweating completely. Any drastic measures that one plans on taking should be in consultation with a reputed doctor. This does not mean that one should not consult with one’s doctor while seeking other types of treatments like herbal treatments and remedies. One’s doctor knows one’s present and past history of health, he will be in a better position to help one with such matters.
Ultimately at the end of the day, controlling something like head sweating is quite possible. A little patience and persistence is required to find the best suiting treatment. Also remember, to stay away from any and all headgear such as caps and hats!
3 Easy Ways To Stop Facial Sweating
Posted by sleepyguy in Prescription Sleep Medicine on September 12th, 2009
Facial sweating can seem like one of the most difficult places on the body to treat. I should know, I suffered with it for a long time. It’s the most noticeable form of excessive sweating and the situation can make you feel pretty helpless. Your face is right there, out in the open, dripping with uncontrollable perspiration and no matter how many times you dab it away with a handkerchief, those embarrassing beads of sweat pop back up again.
Listen, I know what it’s like. I’ve been in your shoes. But, I’m happy to tell you that there IS a light at the end of the tunnel. Relief is on the way with the 3 effective facial sweating treatments I’m about to reveal to you. So, pay attention because these little sweat solutions are going to stop the face faucets for good!
Before we get started though, I just want to emphasize that with any of these treatments, you want to always watch out for irritation on your face. Even though these treatments are gentle, everyone’s body chemistry is different.
Also, as I’m sure you already know, you can’t just roll a strong deodorant onto your face (yes, like a fool, I tried it once). You’d completely break out in a rash, hives, dry patches and who knows what else. Plus, having deodorant residue on your face isn’t the most appealing look. For this reason, I’ve listed gentle, proven remedies below, that will start giving your results within minutes after application.
Let’s start with the first treatment!
1. Witch Hazel - Witch hazel extract can be bought at most health food stores, drugstores or grocery stores. It’s derived from the plant’s bark, twigs and leaves. I was totally unfamiliar with witch hazel when I first learned of this facial sweating remedy but let me tell you - it works wonders! Witch hazel has natural astringent properties so it gently dries the skin and also inhibits inflammation. It dries up oily skin, reduces the appearance of pores and acts as a natural antiperspirant for you face. You NEED to try this.
What I love most about witch hazel is how mild it is on the skin. I actually reduces redness because of its anti-inflammatory properties! Start with a thin application layer and fall in love with this natural remedy for facial sweating.
2. Aloe Vera Juice - This is a more watered down version of the popular aloe vera sold as a moisturizer. When applied to the skin, aloe vera has a nice cooling effect. This makes it particularly useful during warmer seasons like summer or spring. However, if your excessive sweating is triggered not by temperature but by hyperhidrosis (a condition of excessive sweating not matter what temperature it is), you may find your results to be more short term.
I suffered from hyperhidrosis which is why this treatment was just a bit less effective for me. That said, I’ve used aloe vera for my facial sweating before and I want to give you my completely honest review. Aloe vera works great as a temporary fix (prevents sweating for about 2 or 3 hours). My conclusion? If you have a hot date or an upcoming business meeting and you need to keep your complexion dry, aloe vera is a great quick fix.
3. Maxim Facial Wipes - Last but certainly not least is a sure fire winner. Maxim Facial Wipes are deodorant wipes made especially for facial sweating. Although, I’m not sure what chemicals inhibit the sweating, they act as a wonderful astringent for your face sweat and really keep you dry.
The wipes are made by a company in the UK. I’m sure you can find them online if you just search around a bit. Anyhow, try the natural treatments listed above first. They’re cheaper, proven and don’t require a dependency on a specific manufacturer. If they fail to do the job for you, it’s time to give the Maxim Wipes a shot.
