Mary asks…
I have a tendency to sweat on my nose and upper lip, how do I stop that?
Even when it is cold outside, my nose and upper lip sweat a lot. I can be doing nothing except talking to a cute guy and I begin to sweat in these areas. I don’t sweat any where else much really. How do I stop this w/o surgery? Does anyone know if I can botox these area and stop the sweat? I read about secure wipes for the face, where can I get some and are they prescription? Help its affecting my personal life?
Brian answers:
I sweat on my top lip and nose a lot as well, but I don’t let it bother me.
Excessive sweating can be treated with topical aluminium chloride applications for many months. Try 2% topical hydroquinone once a day for a few weeks. If there is no response do consult a dermatologist.
Nowadays some are also using botox injections and this requires a good deal of experience. Botox® is an excellent treatment for excess sweating, reducing sweating by over 80% for an average of 7-12 months.
Again, consult a professional.

Sweating above upper lip?
This has never happened to me before. Suddenly after the birth of my son 2 weeks ago I have been sweating above my upper lip all the time. I am constantly whipping it off. Its not exactly hot in here, its just comfortable. It’s really annoying and weird.
Brian answers:
Don’t worry. It’s totally normal. A lot of people sweat there. Including me sometimes.
Donald asks…

Brian answers:

My upper lip and the tip of my nose just dont change.
It’s ok we aren’t weird I promise haha
Helen asks…
Best foundation for pale, dry skin in humid weather? My upper lip sweats before I leave the house….?
and my makeup gets blotchy and runny. All I need is to find a foundation. The rest of my makeup is ok when I start sweating.
Brian answers:
For dry skin it is best to use a liquid or cream foundation. I have very fair pale skin, so I know how hard it is to find a good foundation. It helps if you wash your face before you put on makeup, and use a moisturizer. I then use a tinted moisturizer from Bobbi Brown. Most of the time people with fair or pale skin don’t need a heavy foundation, and a tinted moisturizer will cover up any blemishes. Then I use a loose powder from Physicians Formula in the lightest shade. This helps “set” the tinted foundation and helps it not run or streak. Remember to put everything on lightly, or else later in the day it will look caked on.
James asks…
Does staring at other people’s feet make your upper lip sweat?
Brian answers:
Yes.
Chris asks…
I sweat a lot. Like underarms, upper lip, hands, and cleavage. How do i keep from sweating?
Like one time i was with a guy and my friends made me hold his hand. When I’m around guys i sweat so later that night he broke up with me for it. I sweat when I’m around ALL guys, teachers, classmates, brothers, and just friends. Whats the best thing to do to keep this from happening???
Brian answers:
You should probably talk to your doctor, because it sounds like there might be a few reasons as to why you are experiencing excess sweating. It could be hyperhydrosis (overactive sweat glands), it could be anxiety, or perhaps a combination of both (the hyperhydrosis causing sweating and the anxiety about it making it worse), or even something as mundane as your diet, such as if you eat a lot of spicy foods on a regular basis.
I have the same problem, although probably not as bad as yours. I use Certain Dri on my underarms which helps tremendously at keeping my underarms virtually sweat-free, but I do still sweat mildly to moderately from other areas (scalp area – I’m assuming because of the thickness of my hair though -, forehead, upper lip, hands) when my body temperature raises, especially when it happens fast (sudden change in temperature, getting embarrassed, things like that) and my body is almost always quite warm at all times. I’d definitely say that your best bet is to just talk to your doctor to try and rule some things out as well as possibly find a good solution to the issue.

Hi!
For years and years I’ve been having the same issues as described: mainly sweating a lot in my face, upper lip, in later stages my chest, back, arms, crack and if it’s really bad; arms and legs…
Probably the only thing where I never really experience excessive sweat are my feet and/or hands.
I’m always warm/hot and what triggers my sweating (most noticebly my face and upper lip) are sudden changes in temperature, embarrassment, stress, etc. When it starts its a lot worse if I’m standing.
I’ve been in sales for a long time and it is not positive to have a sweaty forehead and upper lip if you are trying to sell stuff.
Like most people, I have my tricks/tics to try and hide it, but sometimes it just gets to be ridiculous: in a bar/club, sweat dripping down nose, chin, over my face, ears, scalp.
I have thin hair, used to be top fit and skinny, now a bit overweight and not so in shape. Results are the same.
Any advise on how to stop this (please don’t advise me to use handkerchiefs, stand in front of a fan, etc.)
If I’m at my worst, dripping with sweat, I need to find cold running water to run it over my hands (outside and in) and wrists. This seems to help.
