Summer Skin Woes: Why They Spike & How to Protect Your Skin
•Summer heat and humidity lead to increased skin problems like prickly heat, acne, and sunburn due to sweat, dust, and sun exposure.
•Dr. Yugal Rajput explains that excessive sweating combined with blocked pores causes prickly heat; bathing twice daily and wearing loose cotton clothes helps.
•Sun's UV rays cause sunburn and increased melanin, leading to skin darkening and premature wrinkles; sunscreen is crucial 20 minutes before going out.
•Humid weather increases fungal infection risk in moist, covered areas; dry body completely after bathing, use anti-fungal powder, and maintain hygiene.
•Dehydration in summer makes skin dry and lifeless; drink 3-4 liters of water daily and include hydrating foods like coconut water, cucumber, and watermelon.
