Occurrence of acne

When sweat mixes with bacteria and oils on your skin, it can clog your pores. If you have acne-prone skin, that usually means breakouts. Dermatologists recommend the following to help prevent acne:

• Absorb sweat from your skin with a clean towel or cloth. Wiping sweat can irritate the skin, leading to a rash.
• Wash sweaty clothes, headbands, towels and hats before wearing them again. • Use non-comedogenic products on the face, neck, back and chest. The label may also say “oil-free” or “non-pore-clogging”.

Dry and irritated skin

When the air outside is warm and humid, you can still experience dry, irritated skin. The biggest culprits are spending time in the sun. If your skin is starting to feel dry and irritated despite moisture, try these tips:

• Shower and wash your hair immediately after getting out of the pool, using cool, clean water and a gentle body wash intended for swimmers.
• Apply sunscreen before going outside, using a sunscreen with broad spectrum protection, SPF 30+ and water resistant. • Use a mild cleanser to wash your skin. Soaps and body washes labeled “antibacterial” or “deodorant” can dry out your skin.
• Take showers and baths in warm rather than hot water
• Apply an unscented moisturizer after each shower and bath. Moisturizers work by keeping water in the skin, so you should apply moisturizer within 5 minutes of taking a shower or bath. • Bring a moisturizer so you can apply it after washing your hands and when your skin is dry.
• Increase the thermostat if the air conditioner is making your home too dry.

Summer skin problems, Folliculitis

Every hair on your body grows out of an opening called a hair follicle. When the follicles become infected, you get folliculitis. Infected hair follicles look like pimples, but they tend to be itchy and tender. To reduce your risk of folliculitis this summer:

• Immediately after a workout, change into tight workout clothes.
• Stay away from spas and hot tubs if you are unsure whether acid and chlorine levels are properly controlled. So many people get folliculitis from hot tubs to the point of actually having a condition called “hot tub folliculitis.”
• Wear light, loose clothing when it’s hot and humid.

Infection from manicure or pedicure
Time to show off those legs in the summer! Manicures and pedicures can keep your nails looking good, but they can also expose you to germs that can cause infections.
You don’t have to give up manicures and pedicures. Taking certain precautions can help you avoid infection

Summer skin problems, Melasma

Being in the sun can make brown to grayish brown spots on your face more visible.
• Protect your skin from the sun every day. One of the most common ways to treat melasma is to use sunscreen.

• Avoid waxing. It is important to avoid plucking the skin affected by melasma. Waxing can cause skin inflammation, making melasma worse

Anything you can do to stop sweating a lot will help reduce your risk. Tips that dermatologists give their patients to help them sweat less and thus reduce the risk of heat rash include:

• Wear light, loose cotton clothing.
• Exercise outdoors during cooler times of the day or move your workout indoors where you can cool off.

Allergy to the sun

You can get hives (an allergic skin reaction) in the sun if you:

• Taking certain medications
• Sun sensitivity
If you’re allergic to the sun, you’ll notice extremely itchy red scaly bumps on some (or all) of your bare skin. Some people even get blisters.
To prevent an allergic skin reaction:

• Check the container of your medicine (or ask your pharmacist) to see if it can cause an allergic reaction when you are exposed to the sun. Medicines that can cause an allergic reaction to the sun include ketoprofen (found in some pain relievers) and these antibiotics – tetracycline, doxycycline, and minocycline. If the medicine can cause a reaction, do not go out in the sun.
