Summer is a very unfavorable time both for our skin and body. It’s a high time when you should take care of your skin health. As the temperature soars, the heat becomes intolerable. During this period we need to protect our skin by keeping it healthy, well hydrated and reducing any condition that makes our skin prone to infections.
1) Heat rashes: In summer there are many factors to make skin irritable. Along with the heat that puts a lot of pressure on the skin comes sweating. Dirt and dust clog the sweat ducts of the skin trapping the perspiration and causing red rashes in your skin.
Remedy: If you sweat a lot then prevent this condition by keeping yourself squeaky clean. It is generally recommended to take bath at least twice a day. Always use an anti-bacterial soap or bath gel to keep yourself clean & dry. You can use ice to rub the affected skin area to keep it cool & soothing.
2. Sunburns: During summer the harsh ray of sun can scorch your skin causing red patches and rashes that burn. This is very common to people who have a sensitive skin.
Remedy: The only way to protect your skin against this condition is to minimize sun exposure. At the same time, it is equally important to use a sunscreen. Make sure you re-apply the same every four to five hours to ensure continuous protection. It is also advisable for people who have sensitive skin to wear clothes covering as much skin as possible during the day.
3. Dehydration: It is not just your body but also your skin which is affected by dehydration. When we sweat we continuously lose water content from the skin. If not sufficiently replenished, this can leave the skin dry, irritated and more prone to sunburn.
Remedy: The most logical answer is to drink as much water as you can. Carry a water bottle with you all the time. Take a sip of water once in every half an hour. Also add a lot of juices and summer fruits to your diet.
