Take Cool Showers

Wear a Hat

Exfoliate Daily

When you spend time outside, your pores accumulate dust, dirt, and debris. If you do not exfoliate your skin daily, it can lead to blotchiness and breakouts. Consider using a gentle scrub every morning, and follow up with a moisturizer that contains SPF.

Drink Plenty of Water

Make sure you drink plenty of water during the summertime, especially on days that you spend a lot of time outside and sweat considerably.

Apply an Anti-Itch Cream
