Why does my face turn red when I am warm

I have googled but hoping Mn might help me out. I used to sweat under my arms very badly until I found Mitchem. Problem solved, I thought. Even during this heatwave I am as dry as the Sahara under there. Now, fgs, my face turns bright red and sweats. People keep asking me if I'm alright, plainly I look terrible and the mirror confirms it!

I can't go smearing deodorant over my face, but this is a) embarrassing and b) unpleasant.

No one wants to have to wash their face to try and cool down, or constantly wipe their forehead to remove the water dripping. Tres attractive I'm sure you'll agree?

Any suggestions? This is not helped by having to wear a polyester uniform and having a physical job but that's not going to change anytime soon.

@Soola sorry, I use the term deodorant meaning anti-perspirant-for me the purpose of deodorant is to stop me sweating Grin

I'm pretty blotchy in the face at present. I just figured I have to bear with it in this heat!
