Sweating is our body’s natural response to an increase in temperature; it helps to cool us down.

Sweating from this area can leave you feeling even more exposed as we often present and express ourselves with our faces.
In this article, we compiled a list of the best antiperspirants for facial sweating to help restore your smile with confidence and dryness.

We typically sweat more in warmer climates or while exercising. However, in some cases, people sweat excessively for no obvious reason. This is a condition called hyperhidrosis. When it specifically affects the head and face, it is referred to as craniofacial hyperhidrosis.
There are various factors that can contribute to excessive face sweating such as anxiety, stress, medications, diet, or an underlying health condition. Whatever the reason, the good news is that there are safe antiperspirants designed for facial use. Keep reading to learn more about these lotions, sprays and wipes.
NOTE: When using face antiperspirant for the first time, it’s important to conduct a skin test to avoid potential irritation. Apply a small amount of antiperspirant formula to a tiny area of skin and leave for a few hours before using it on a larger area. This ensures that it is gentle enough to match your skin type.
