How do you get through summer? I can't do anything with my hair or face. I feel disgusting. I'm not trying to look glamorous, I just want to look decent. My hair is dry and frizzy. Nothing helps because of the sweating on the scalp, it destroys my hair. If that is not bad enough, my hair and face are sweating horribly while I talk to people. What is the proper way to wipe away sweat w/o looking more disgusting?

I never did find the answer to your final question. If you're not standing in front of a roomful of teenagers, be grateful. I just kept a washcloth handy and wiped when I had to.

You notice I wrote in past tense. Glycopyrrolate wipes can help your face. Secure wipes work, or I think Maxim also has them, though I've never used them.

Can't really wipe your scalp though. That's how/why I got on to taking Avert--capsule form of glyco, called Robinul in the States.

I'm not here to promote any product, but these have worked for me.
 
I use topical gel (can't think of the name!) at night & take Avert 1 mg before I go to work on hot days. I'm like you, it's just my head & face that drip sweat. I've had a short spiky 'do for years & it never goes flat from sweating. I pack some folded paper towels in my purse for emergency mopping but if I know it's going to be really humid, I take the Avert ahead of time. This is my 3rd summer on it. It makes my face feel hot but at least I don't have rivers of sweat running down my face.
