The condition known as hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) can make you extremely uncomfortable - both physically and psychologically.
This problem can occur in a number of different ways,but excessive face sweating can be especially embarrassing because it is so obvious.
When sweat is pouring down your face for no apparent reason, it can be pretty tough to hide it.
What Causes Excessive Face Sweating? The sweat glands perform a natural and essential function: regulating your body's temperature.
Excessive sweating is an imbalance of these glands, which can be caused by a variety of factors:

• Hereditary - does anyone in your family suffer from the same or similar condition?
• Menopause - women sometimes experience hyperhidrosis when they enter this stage of their lives.
  Discuss this with your doctor if you are menopausal.
  
• Drugs or alcohol - excessive sweating can be worse when adding in alcohol or drugs - including certain prescription drugs.
  If you are currently on any kind of medication and the sweating started around the same time, consult your doctor.
  You may simply need to change your medication!
• Thyroid imbalance - such as hypothyroidism.
  In this case, the underlying cause must be addressed.
  An imbalance in a gland like the thyroid can cause various problems for the rest of the body.
  

What Can You Do For Excessive Face Sweating? The first thing is to try to determine the underlying cause.
If it's something new, there is probably a way to identify it.
If it's something you've suffered from all of your life, it might be hereditary.
Here are some basic tips to help you deal with this condition:

• Stay cool - literally.
  If it's a stubborn condition, you may have to try to regulate your life to remain in cooler temperatures.
  Wear layers of clothing that can easily be removed so you aren't too hot if the heat is turned up.
  Drink plenty of fluids.
  
• Avoid facial creams - these can make your condition worst.
  Also, don't use antiperspirants on the face, as this can irritate the skin.
  
• Sage - this is a remedy many people find effective.
  You can drink sage as a tea, or find it in another form such as herbal extracts.
  
• Apple cider vinegar - get pure, unfiltered apple cider vinegar and mix one or two tablespoons into water.
  Drink this several times per day.
  This remedy is good for many ailments and people have found that it can help excessive face sweating as well.
  

These are only a few tips to help you deal with what is an uncomfortable and embarrassing problem.
There are solutions that can eliminate excessive sweating, ranging from specialized deodorants, Botox injections and even surgery.
