Sweating-- anyone have this problem?

[bmccasland]

I'm in hot muggy country, even worked up a good sweat taking the dog for a walk last night. Essentially your body is trying real hard to cool itself, and since your head and face are highly vascular it shows a lot.

I find a damp wet washcloth helps (post walking), and while riding, squirting water throught the holes of my helmet. Actually soaking my head after any outdoor activity works pretty well. Cool off those blood vessels.

I'm a beet-red head exploding tomato also.
I can do a 5K in the middle of winter and look like I just ran across the desert in the middle of summer. No matter what pace I run (speedy or slow) I get the "I'm dying- help me" head look. I sweat A LOT out of my head tho, so I don't have the dry face problem. I can't wear hats when it's hot because it holds too much heat in and I really DO want to die. But then again, I'm a big sweater anyway when I exercise. Just ask my dri-fit clothes.

I guess I don't have a point here- just that you're not alone. Hope you can figure out what causes it to fluctuate like it did the other day.

I'm a beet-red exploding tomato with rosecea, too, alas!

I have struggled trying to find skin care products that don't cause the rosacea to flare, but when I'm exerting myself at all, I'm red as a fat delicious apple!

I am thinking that misting your face is the greatest idea, especially if you put ice in the water! But you may just have to learn to deal with it. And if you do figure out a work around -- SHARE!
