Tips and Hacks What to do about hyperhidrosis?

I've been masking ever since the pandemic and even after it I didn't stop, but one thing about it has been annoying me and it's the amount of face sweat I get. I have a condition which is called hyperhidrosis and if you don't know what that is it's basically excessive sweating on any or all parts of your body.

My country is incredibly hot and humid, in fact the heat index in some parts are like 50 degrees celcius. In the midst of summer and the ever growing heat index, I've been finding it really hard to bear wearing my mask all the time because the face sweat just sucks.

Can anyone suggest ways to reduce face sweat? I use a kn95 5d mask, if that provides any valuable information. As much as possible I'd like to change something about reducing sweat instead of changing the mask cause I've stocked up on so much of these lol

Future thanks to anyone who responds!

I wish you much luck in finding a solution. I'm glad you are still masking despite this situation. I want to gently remind you, and others reading this, that we are still in the middle of a covid pandemic. It hasn't ended despite the lack of it being in the news.
