Acne

If you suffer from acne-prone skin, the summer months could prove to be the most problematic time to treat your skin. The skin is producing excessive oil and sweat increasing the problem, blocking your pores. For those with acne-prone skin, this could be the worst thing because blocked pores usually indicate acne.

Those with acne-prone and oily skin tend to have more flutters in the humid and hot summer months.

As a cleanser we recommend using Pond’s Pimple Clean Face Wash as your cleanser of choice. The Active Thymo-T ingredient is a powerful ingredient that helps stop pimples from the start when you cleanse your face of the dirt and bacteria on it.

Rashes from heat

If you suffer from extremely sensitive skin and spend a lot of time outdoors for long periods of time and you experience skin irritations, rashes that resemble burning heat could be a result of your skin. The body begins to heat up inside and then gets itchy on the outside.

Because sweat cannot get out due to blockages, it accumulates underneath the skin, leading to the appearance of a rash, and small itchy bumps. As the spots explode and let out sweat, many sufferers feel a burning feeling on the skin.

Dry skin

The summer months are the time when you’re extremely dehydrated, which is one of the main causes for dry, flaky skin. Furthermore air conditioning is another cause for dryness. What you should do is drink plenty of fluids in order to make sure that the body doesn’t deplete salt.

Even with the climate being dry and hot, skin may still become dry and itchy. Dry skin is among the most common skin issues that can arise during summer. Its main cause is sun exposure as well as pool water and air conditioning over long periods of time.

When the outdoor air is humid and hot, you may still experience dry, irritated skin. Most likely to cause this are hours in sun or in pools and air-conditioning. If your skin begins becoming dry and itchy even in the midst of humidity, follow these suggestions:

Shower and wash your hair immediately after leaving the pool using freshly-squeezed, clear water as well as gentle cleanser or body wash designed specifically for swimmers.

Apply sunscreen before you go out Choose a sunscreen that provides broad-spectrum protection and SPF 30+ as well as water-resistant.

Make use of a mild cleanser to clean your skin. Body washes and soaps marked “antibacterial” and “deodorant” may cause dry skin.

Apply a moisturizer that is fragrance-free after each bath and shower. It works by trapping the moisture in your skin, therefore you’ll have to apply it within five minutes after taking the bath or shower.

Keep a moisturizer on hand to apply it after you wash your hands and whenever your skin starts to feel dry.

Increase the temperature If the air conditioner makes your home dry.

 

Solution: Apart from ensuring that you’re well-hydrated as well, ensure that you are using an hydrating moisturizer that does not feel heavy on your skin. We suggest using The Lakme Total Skin Gloss Crème, which is hydrating and nourishing the skin, and gives it a moisturized appearance throughout the day. The best part? It’s extremely light, and you won’t feel like you’re carrying around the weight of a hefty moisturizer!

Applying a mild cleanser clean skin, and applying a moisturizing lotions that are fragrance-free after each bath and shower and applying sunscreen prior to going outdoors, particularly one that has broad-spectrum protection with SPF 30+ and water resistance could prove useful to prevent dryness and treat it.
