If you suffer from excessive sweating you can hide most areas of your body but facial sweating it is near impossible to hide. Facial sweating also goes by its proper name of cranial facial hyperhidrosis and it is one of the more embarrassing forms of this condition.
People who suffer from facial sweating often have many social fears and phobias that materialize as anxiety and stress.
You will need to find out from a doctor if your condition is caused by overactive sweat glands and over stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system.
This is called primary hyperhidrosis and it can be treated very effectively in most cases. Most facial sweating victims are in this group as it makes up the large majority.
Secondary hyperhidrosis is much harder to treat since it is brought about by an underlying medical condition. Hyperthyroidism is one such medical condition that can cause excess sweating in a localized part of the body such as the face. People who suffer from secondary hyperhidrosis are in the small minority but it is worth going to a doctor to find out exactly what type of hyperhidrosis that you have before doing any treatments.
It is estimated that over 95% of sufferers are found in the primary hyperhidrosis group and there are many different types of methods that can be used safely and effectively for stopping facial sweating. So if after your doctor appointment you have discovered that you are in the 95% then you can experiment with different tips, techniques and procedures to stop cranial facial hyperhidrosis.
One of the best ways to treat excessive sweating is to clean up your diet. Now I know most people groan and moan when they hear this but it is true. You may even need to take a radical approach if your problem is really bad, such as a full on detox (vegetable juice detox is best) that can go anywhere from a few days to a week in duration.
A more simpler diet that can be easily adjusted to for results is the following: try to eat as much raw vegetables as possible and if you must cook them, do so lightly. Have lots of vegetable juice but it must be freshly made by you and not bought in a super market. Also limit your intake of refined foods, artificial ingredients and spices. Limit meat intake to a few times per week.
Your skin is used to detox your body from impurities and toxins and it is done through the mechanism of sweating. Highly toxic people sweat more than healthier people. So help your body out by detoxing it, this will help take some of the burden off your skin by getting rid of all the toxins. It will also reduce sweating all over the body.
When you make any type of changes to your diet it normally takes a few weeks or months before results show up so please stick to a new diet for at least a month before judging its worth in stopping facial sweating.
