Back acne: This appears because you sweat during the workouts and you expose your back to the sun. To avoid it, hit the shower as soon as you are done with your workout to get rid of the excess oil. Wash your back with a salicylic acid based body wash regularly. Don’t forget about moisturizing either. Try to avoid wearing tight clothes and also clothes made of synthetic fibers.
Oil-slick face: The heat and the sweating makes the sebum production increase in the T-zone. In case you have oily skin, you will have to battle with oil-slick face. It’s not really an option to stay in front of the fan all the time. This is why you should avoid using oily products during this period and always have some blotting papers at hand.
Avoid over-cleansing your skin with products that would remove all the natural oils from the face. In this case the skin would react and produce even more oil to make up for the lack of moisturizing.
Dry and flaky skin: Spending time in the sun will dry your skin and it will make it flaky. If you spend a lot of time outdoors you won’t be able to solve the problem only by applying a thick layer of moisturizer. To solve the problem drink a lot of water and avoid drinking alcoholic beverages during the hot summer days. Also moisturize the skin right after getting out of the shower to lock the moisture in.
Excessive breakouts: This could happen even in case you don’t suffer from acne, because of the sun exposure. Also it could happen because of the sunscreen you are using that is clogging up the pores. The solution for this is to make sure that the products you are using are non comedogenic.
Wash the makeup brushes thoroughly and don’t touch your face while you are sweating. Use only oil-free moisturizers and also makeup products of the same kind.
Razor Burn: It is possible to get itchy red bumps and red patches of inflamed skin regardless whether you are using a dull razor or shaving cream. The solution is simple: good shaving habits, especially when being exposed to the sun. Take into consideration epilating cream or waxing in case the old methods don’t seem to be working out.
Green hair: In case of certain hair colors it is possible that after a swimming session your hair will turn green. This is an unpleasant surprise unless you take into consideration a really simple beauty tip: wet the hair with sparkling water before you jump in the pool to avoid the hair getting damaged by chlorine or other kinds of heavy metals. If the damage has been done, just use shampoo containing sodium thiosulfate.
