The evaporation of the sweat is actually what cools you. The change from a liquid to a gas requires heat energy and it gets part of that heat energy from the skin, making the body feel cooler.

Perspiration takes excess heat from your body and releases it to the surface in moisture. A secondary mechanism continues to cool the body as the moisture evaporates from the surface of the skin. Cooling occurs in all types of climates but the evaporation mechanism works best in areas with low humidity because it exchange is more rapid.

Slime feels cold to the touch because it has a higher thermal conductivity than air or your skin, which allows it to draw heat away from your body quicker, giving the sensation of coldness.
