It is not just the heat exhaustion that you should be worried about during the heatwave.

1. Dehydration: High temperature and humidity can cause excessive sweating and fluid loss leading to dehydration. This can make the skin look dull, dry and flaky.
2. Sunburn: Excessive exposure to sun during this time can cause sunburn too.
3. Heat Rash: Also, exposure to heat and humidity can cause heat rash characterized by small red itchy bumps on the skin.
4. Acne & Breakouts:Heat and humidity can also cause an increase in oil production, which can clog pores and lead to Acne and breakouts.
5. Premature Ageing: Exposure to UV radiation from the sun during a heatwave can accelerate the ageing process, causing fine lines, wrinkles and age spots to appear earlier than they would otherwise.

To Do:

• While making a list of what to do during a heatwave, don’t forget to go for cooling face mask to pamper your skin with natural ingredients such as rose water, cucumber and more.

To Avoid:

• During a heatwave it is best to avoid face mask that contain ingredients that can increase skin sensitivity to the sun or cause irritation like the mask wit retinoids, AHAs, BHAs and Vitamin-C.
• These ingredients can make the skin more vulnerable to sun damage and may lead to skin irritation or sensitivity when exposed to the sun.
