Comment on Is it possible to cool my body enough to not sweat while exercising?

You’re making heat. Don’t worry about the sweat. I get a literal puddle underneath my bike on long sets. I can wring my shirt out when I run. I’m not even a particularly sweaty person. I know some people who can make a full puddle in 5-10 min. It is what it is. Especially if you’re at home, who cares!?
I’m pretty sure that you can sweat while getting frostbite. Your fingers, toes, nose, ears, etc. all are too exposed.

That’s not really my concern. The issue is comfort and I end up getting a lot of pimples, which excessive sweat can contribute to.

I can totally relate. But to answer your original question (and reinforce one of the other poster’s points), there’s no getting around sweating, even if you’re cold. I was digging out from the recent storm in the dark, gusty wind, temps well below freezing, taking things slowly. Still sweat through my inner shirt and hood.

Use a salicylic acid or other AHA infused serum or cream on your skin to combat the pimples.

If you reduce the relative humidity by using the AC, the sweat will be more likely to evaporate and less likely to drip off of you. I think that’s about all you can do, maybe buy a dehumidifier.

You could get a cooling vest. You soak it in water and then it cools you through evaporation.

Do you bathe not long after your work out? What’s your skin care routine like? Do you take hot showers?

Yeah I shower right after. Shower temp is a bit inconsistent but I try to get it to be warm but not hot. I use body wash in the shower then I do moisturize and then I’ve been using clyndamycin that I was prescribed for this issue.

Whoever prescribed you that knows way more than me.
