The face, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet are effective areas for the body to dissipate heat and absorb cool.

“Those three areas are your face, the palms of your hands and the bottoms of your feet. Now, the skin on your hands and on the bottoms of your feet and to some extent on your face are called glaborous skin. That's G-L-A-B-O-R-O-U-S glaborous skin. And what's special about those areas of your body and the glaborous skin is that the arrangement of vasculature, of blood vessels, capillaries and arteries that serve those regions is very different than it is elsewhere in your body.”
