To keep your skin healthy and beautiful during the summer months, it's important to be aware of these potential problems and take steps to prevent them. Summer is a season that brings with it warmth, sunshine, and plenty of opportunities to spend time outdoors. However, it also comes with its own set of skin problems that can be challenging to deal with.
The heat, humidity, and increased exposure to the sun's harmful rays can cause a variety of skin diseases and conditions, from sunburn and heat rash to acne and fungal infections. Dr Mandeep Singh, HOD - Plastic, Dermatology, and Cosmetic Surgery at Paras Health Gurugram states, "As summer starts, skin problems become one of the major problems affecting up to 30% of people because of skin issues like sunburn and heat rash during hot and humid weather. With UV rays becoming a prominent problem, whenever the skin is overexposed to the sun, sunburn occurs causing redness, pain, and sometimes even blisters.
" On the other hand, some might experience heat rashes to those who sweat a lot because the sweat gets trapped in the skin’s pores which ultimately causes irritation and discomfort. Preventive Measures for Skin Protection Preventive measures are the only key to safeguarding the skin during these extremely hot conditions. According to Dr Mandeep, "These preventive measures include the use of sunscreen, preferably of SPF 50 and higher to reduce the risk of sunburn, by up to 80%.
Furthermore, it is always advisable to wear loose.
