Six Hacks for Hot Weather and Sensitive Skin
It's a Sensitive Skin Summer
Soothe itchy, irritated, and sunburned skin with these easy life hacks and tips.
Skip Sunburn at the Beach
If you burn easily even with lots of SPF, consider UPF clothing like rash guards to add an extra layer of protection.
Fight Post-Pool Dryness
Chlorine can be seriously drying. Shower with gentle soap and warm or cool water after a swim, then apply an unscented lotion for sensitive skin from head to toe.
Avoid the Itchies
If you’re out for a hike, steer clear of any plants you’re not familiar with. To reduce the risk of swimmer’s itch, stay out of contaminated water and be sure to dry off immediately after swimming.
Stay Cool During the Day
Skip synthetic fabrics to keep you cool and reduce heat rash. Whenever possible, opt for cooling, loose-fitting clothing in natural fabrics like cotton or linen that let your skin breathe.
On the Road
Wash your face frequently when you’re traveling to avoid breakouts from pore-clogging sweat and grime.
Take a Cooldown
Increase your hydration when it’s really hot outside. Unsweetened iced tea or water with lemon counts too!
