Cooling: When water evaporates to change from a liquid form to a gas [vapor] it consumes energy. The energy taken away from the material near it means a cooling effect. The benefit of sweating is to dissipate excess heat. Sweating due to anxiety or congenital hyperhidrosis or disease is not useful. If you need help for inappropriate sweating see a dermatologist.
