In addition to taking a face cloth, I always wear a hat. This catches most of the sweat from my head and then I just have to deal with the face. Just the addition of the hat has made a world of difference.

I, too, have stopped going out as much as I did because of this sweating. E

For me I found a solution before my daughters wedding, for social occasions... I bought a wig from a reputable company... I took my daughter and sister (who is a hairdresser) with me and chose one as near to my usual hair colour and style but that just looks like I have had my hair done! I got a spray that they sell for motorcyclists to cool their heads and spray on liberally, let it dry a bit then pop on wig. I am not precious and when close family or friends were amazed at me not sweating and dripping everywhere I told them and all very supportive. I admit it does not stop you feeling hot but I would use a fan to do that, but the confidence it has given me when I go out is so worth it... I do have to wash it probably more often than someone without cranial hyperhydrosis but a mall price to pay. Sadly as I have had gynae cancer the oxybutinim worked for me but caused huge gynae dryness and subsequent issues with scar tissue so I had to make a decision and stopped taking it. I also wear towelling headbands indoors as I go about my day. My picture is from an occasion of me in wig!
