Taking care of your skin must always be your top priority. But if your skin is sensitive and prone to allergies, the summer season can be a challenging time for you. We spend most of our time outdoors during the summer season. Sun exposure, sweating, dehydration, and pollutants can all contribute to various skin conditions including rash and allergies.
So, should you stop having fun in the summer? Well, absolutely not!
In today’s article, we’ll share some tips that will help not only help your skin look fresh and clear but will also help you keep your allergies and rashes at bay. So, let’s begin with the areas that need your most attention.
Pool Parties
Cocktails, champagne, gossip; pool parties sound too tempting to not attend. But once you’ve been in the pool, it becomes mandatory to take a shower and you must never forget that.
Getting that chlorine, germs, and foreign agents off of your skin is crucial for your skin’s health. Even if your skin is not super-sensitive, you still need to get rid of all that residue. A lot of people have been in that pool and you never know what type of skin conditions they might have. Moreover, certain chemicals and agents can trigger skin allergies, and taking a bath immediately after coming out of the pool is the only way to have fun safely.
Sweating
Heat and sweating are mutually exclusive. Some of the things that you experience a lot in the summer season. While sweating is natural and helps your body to stay cool, it can also cause your skin to develop an infection. You might think it’s a good practice to keep a towel for wiping off your sweat but damp skin gets irritated quickly if you wipe often.
One thing that you should start doing right this summer is to start using a hypoallergenic towel. Moreover, you must always use a towel to blot your sweat rather than wipe it. Of course, it’s best to wash the affected area but it’s not always possible.
So, use a bio-degradable towel or napkin and be gentle in blotting your sweat off. This will help you keep your skin infection-free all through the summer season.
Poison Ivy, Oak, and Sumac Rash
Many people plan hikes and treks during summer holidays. While it’s a good time to enjoy an adventure, people with allergies and sensitive skin should stay wary of some plants.
Poison Ivy, Oak, and Sumac are some of the most common plants that are known to cause allergic reactions. Although it’s not possible to identify which certain agent is the culprit in causing intense rashes and infections, you can certainly avoid them.
First of all, do some research and take some pictures of the plants that may cause a rash. You can take them along to recognize them and avoid touching them. Another thing that you can do to protect your skin from getting infected is to wear light clothes that fully cover your skin. For extra protection, you can also wear gloves.
Sun Exposure
Well, this one is rather easy and well-known. Wear a hat, put on your sunscreen, and re-apply it generously whenever needed.
But if you can avoid going out in direct sunlight, it’s best to avoid it. If it’s inevitable, try staying under a shade, keep a water bottle handy and you’re pretty much safe from skin rash and irritation.
