Wouldn't it be exothermic if energy (heat) exits your body?

Endothermic with respect to the water that is evaporating. In that sense your body is part of the surroundings, not the system.

Right, I feel like I got it. Water gains energy (heat) making it endothermic, and it exits your body as a result of evaporation. Thanks!
