    I’m surprised how many people feel they can differentiate steam moisture and sweat on their skin.

      The process of sweating is one you can feel, beyond just the sensation of moisture. I’m more surprised that there are people who can’t feel the difference.

      Also, sweat has a much different consistency than water.

          Maybe they don’t take hot enough showers? I don’t always sweat, but for sure I’ve noticed more from taking hot baths

        I’m a warm, sweaty person. Maybe I sweat too often to notice it’s happening. I do great in winter though and don’t complain about 90F+ days under 20% humidity. Sadly, I live where summers are 90/90

      That was my take that prompted the post, but now a little logic is kicking in. Is my skin actually cold enough to condensate steam? I do not know
