Skin seems chapped when I sweat?

Good morning,
I am experiencing something I have not ran across before. When I work out, my face burns where I sweat. It is almost as if my face is chapped. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Actually at times yes, I notice the feeling when I sweat and I wipe my face with a harsh rag. I just started wetting the rag in cool water first, problem solved.

    I've had this happen before and rinsing my face before and immediately after I worked out seemed to help. Also upped my water intake.

    This happens when my skin is dry prior to working out, or after I've been in chlorine. Get a good moisturizer.

    Thanks! I did just that and got a new moisturizer!
