Acne
Acne is one of the basic issues that become a problem for many people during summers. The facial oils can get mixed with bacteria and sweat which results in acne. Acne is cautious as it can spread on the skin, causing irritation, redness, patchy skin, pimples, and soreness. To avoid summer acne, wash your face with cold water, keep an acne-prone 4-step regimen kit with you and use it after every outdoor exposure, and tap your skin with a clean towel wipe.

Dry Skin
Some people have naturally dry skin zones. During summers, with extreme weather conditions, the skin is likely to get even drier. This causes irritation, itching, and severe rash. Dry skin mostly occurs when you spend much time in pools or water baths, and the main affected area of dryness in the hair scalp, causing dandruff. To prevent dryness in summers, keep a good, oil-free, moisturizer with you and use it regularly.

Sunburn
Getting sunburn can spoil summer fun and increase your risk of developing skin cancer. Most of you know that sun-block cream is a must in summers, but still, you might forget to use it which then causes sunburns. Sunburns occur as patches on the areas which are more exposed to the sun or are sensitive otherwise. During summers, exposure to the sun should be avoided as much as possible, and the use of a good sun-block should be made mandatory. Sun burns are painful as they feel like regular burns that cause itching, scaly skin, dried layers, and extreme rash.

Sun Allergy
Sun allergy is different from sunburn. In sun-allergy, you can develop hives which is an allergic skin reaction, when you’re in the sun. Some people are born with sun allergy, as it can also be genetic; while some people develop it later in life. It is common among people who have to work outdoors, under direct sunlight. To get rid of sun allergy you need to consult a doctor and get proper medication.
