Hey Dimples. Are you sweating so much that it drips down your temples? What about under your arms? I sweat a lot from the Parnate and get huge stains under my arms and on my back. I can feel the sweat trickle down. I hate it.
I will do some research and see what I can come up with. Maybe there is some trick they use in Hollywood for shooting under the hot lights. I know there are astrigents for women that give a matte look to the face. It doesn't look like make-up. It just takes aways the shine. Maybe there is something like that you can use. Again, I will see what I can find out. YOu shouldn't have to take another drug to stop the sweating.
Love,
