Claudia will be sweating quite regularly due to the hot weather she will be in, and also the fact that she is constantly on edge because of the zombies and she is always on the run and in fights with the walkers...
Sweating is a bodily function that helps regulate your body temperature. Also called perspiration, sweating is the release of a salt-based fluid from your sweat glands. Changes in your body temperature, the outside temperature, or your emotional state can cause sweating. The most common areas of sweating on the body include:
- armpits
- face
- palms of the hands
- soles of the feet
Sweating in normal amounts is an essential bodily process. “Normal” sweating can be as much as a quart of fluid per day, according to the National Institutes of Health. Lack of sweat or excessive sweating can cause problems. The absence of sweat can be dangerous because your risk of overheating increases.
How Sweating Works:
Your body is equipped with an average of three million sweat glands. Eccrine sweat glands are located all over your body and produce a lightweight, odorless sweat.
Apocrine sweat glands are concentrated in the hair follicles of your scalp, armpits, and groin. These glands release a heavier, fat-laden sweat that carries a distinct odor. The smell, referred to as “body odor,” occurs when apocrine sweat breaks down and mixes with the bacteria on your skin.
Your autonomic nervous system controls your sweating function. This is the part of your nervous system that functions on its own, without your conscious control. When the weather is hot or your body temperature rises due to exercise or fever, sweat is released through ducts in your skin. It moistens the surface of your body and cools you down as it evaporates.
Sweat is made mostly of water, but about one percent of sweat is a combination of salt and fat - this is why I have chosen to splatter water all over the face to make it seem quite realistic and authentic.
Causes of Sweating:
Elevated temperatures are the primary cause of sweating, but you can perspire for other reasons, too. Anger, fear, embarrassment, anxiety, or emotional stress can make you break out in sweat.
After doing this research I have actually found out that the only specific place we all sweat from is the forehead because it has sweat glands there. Therefore there is no correct 'pattern' or placement of where the sweat needs to be - I can just use the highlighter to in specific areas, e.g. the forehead, and down the centre of the face, and then splatter water all over the face.
