Sweat cools the skin primarily through the process of evaporation. When sweat is secreted by the sweat glands in the skin, it absorbs heat from the body as it evaporates into the air, effectively cooling the surface temperature of the skin. This physiological response helps regulate body temperature, especially during exercise or in hot environments. Additionally, the distribution of sweat glands throughout the skin contributes to effective heat dissipation.

Can your skin help cool the body when it is too hot?
It can! Glands on the epidermis (surface) of the skin release sweat. As we move around, the air blows on the sweat and cools your skin down. This is a milder version of the effect that you notice when you get out of a pool or shower. I think it is the evaporation of the sweat that cools you. To evaporate the sweat needs energy/heat and it takes this from it's immediate surroundings - the skin.
What happens to your skin as sweat evaporates away from it?
As sweat evaporates from your skin, it cools the surface and helps regulate your body temperature. This process can leave your skin feeling cooler and drier.
How do palms sweat without pores?
Palms sweat through sweat glands, not pores. Sweat glands release sweat onto the skin's surface, which then evaporates and cools the body.
