Skin Essentials - Does your nose sweat?

Mine definitely does! Spring, summer, rain or shine, does not matter, my nose sweats. I could get out the water at the beach and towel myself of, moments later I may have a sweaty nose. Doesn't bother me most times, but I'm ALWAYS patting my nose dry. So, when I sing I carry a little tissue to pat my nose dry. It becomes a little annoying when I'm singing my heart out and my nose starts sweating, but for the most part I luv it. However, my curious nature got me to thinking, hmm, is there a way to stop sweating on my nose naturally. Here's what I've found:



"Hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes people to sweat unpredictably and uncontrollably on areas of the head, face, hands, feet or armpits. If you have hyperhidroisis, you may be particularly concerned with nose sweating, as the sweat is easily noticeable in this area. Those concerned with their noses sweating should always consult a doctor to make sure the sweating is not caused by a more serious medical condition."

Yes, people, this is a real condition. funny thing is that I hardly sweat anywhere else, unless I'm working out after 30 minutes, then I would start sweating. So, why's it I sweat on my nose when I'm not even engaged in any activity. *SHRUG* beats me.
Read on:
"1. Drink more water to lower your body temperature.

A lot of people are confused by this solution. They think if they drink more water, it will give them that much more fluid to sweat out. This is totally incorrect. Drinking more water cools your core temperature and will alleviate some of the excessive sweating. Of course now you'll need to worry about all those bathroom breaks. :)

2. Drink Green Tea or Sage Tea at night

Tea contains an astringent property which will dry out oils and prevent excess moisture from escaping the skin. It essentially drys you from the inside out.

In addition to helping your complexion, green tea will neutralize many of the toxins that create the pungent odor in sweat. By the way, that odor is caused by bacteria that treats your sweat as a breeding ground. Gross!

3. Try Certain Dri (non-prescription deodorant)

You can buy this one at most pharmacies. Certain dry is a little less abrasive than Drysol so you won't need to worry as much about irritation. It is however a little less strong. You'll want to gauge your level of Hyperhidrosis by first trying Certain Dri. If your sweating continues, upgrade to Drysol and that should do the trick.

4. Avoid spicy foods, alcohol and caffeine

Don't underestimate the power of your diet. Onions, Garlic, Curry, Coffee and a whole host of other ingredients are powerful triggers for hyperhidrosis sweating. Cut out some of these cultprits and see gradual but noticeable results. Add leafy greens and tea into your diet for a positive effect on sweating. Changing your diet will really cut out the spontaneous sweating from your daily lunch breaks.

5. Try a Sage Tea Soak

There's something called a Sage Tea solution what you do is...
a. Buy Sage Tea from your supermarket
b. Fill a large bowl with room temperature water
c. Put the sage tea bags in the bowl and let the tea dissolve a bit.
d. soak your hands for 15 minutes in the bowl.

Sage Tea will act as an astringent to dry the skin and prevent excessive sweating for many days to follow.

Don't just do this soak one day. Do it everyday for 5 days straight (15 minutes at a time) and you'll see great results.

If your hands tan from the tea, just wash them in the sink with antibacterial soap. The residue will come off easily."

Am I going to try any of these....hmmmm...i like tea, so when I go shopping I'll get sage tea. In fact, it's been awhile since I've had some and I defnitely need to hydrate. Funny how so many natural remedies include drinking water. Just so simple. Anyhoo, I got lots to post later this week, been doing alot of hair things. Love you guys, MuAh and CiAo!
