Summer is great but there are some added health risks to your skin beyond your painful sunburn when you forget to wear sunscreen. From increased risk of bacterial and fungal infection to rashes, summer can wreak havoc on your skin. Here are some skin issues and a few tips to help your skin stay healthy this summer.

4. Poison Ivy

This is one of the most irksome summer skin conditions. Not everyone is allergic to poison ivy (and I certainly envy those who fall into this category!), but don’t take any chances. If you spend a lot of time outdoors or in the woods, take a close look at photos of poison ivy leaves so you’ll be able to identify it and stay the heck away if you encounter this awful plant. If you like to go hiking, try to cover up your skin as much as you can — and wash your clothes immediately when you get home.

If you’ve been exposed, wash your skin with soap and warm water STAT — getting the oil off your skin quickly may save you from developing the rash. Again, because the plant’s oil is what causes the rash, keep a close eye on your pet when you take it for walks in the woods. If you think your dog may have come in contact with poison ivy, put on rubber gloves and give them a bath when you return from your hike.

The main symptoms of poison ivy are blisters, redness, swelling, and a whole lot of itchiness. Like heat rash, this is a condition that you can typically wait out with the help of soothing lotions, ice packs, and cool baths. It’s not contagious and the majority of cases go away within one to three weeks. However, if the rash affects your eyes, your blisters begin to ooze, or your fever exceeds 100, it’s time to see a doctor. You’ll also want to seek medical attention if the rash continues to spread or if it fails to improve after three weeks. In those cases, doctors will prescribe an oral corticosteroid or an oral antibiotic.

Summer is great but there are some added health risks to your skin beyond your painful sunburn when you forget to wear sunscreen. From increased risk of bacterial and fungal infection to rashes, summer can wreak havoc on your skin. Here are some skin issues and a few tips to help your skin stay healthy this summer.

3. Heat Rash

Heat rash is common in the summer for pretty self-explanatory reasons: It’s caused when perspiration gets trapped under your skin due to blocked pores, so it can be developed simply from spending time outside or from engaging in intense physical activity that causes you to sweat profusely. The symptoms are blisters, bumps, and lesions on the skin — and, as always, cases range from mild to severe.

Heat rash typically clears up on its own as long as you stay out of the sun and avoid the heat — so, grab a book and crank up the air conditioning. Calamine lotion can help reduce the itching, and you should wear lightweight clothing while you wait for the rash to go away. Ice packs can also help soothe the affected area.

However, you should see a doctor if the symptoms get worse, you develop a fever or chills, or pus begins to ooze from the blisters or lesions on your skin — you could be dealing with something more serious. Swollen glands are also a red flag and a sign that you should see a doctor.

From increased risk of bacterial and fungal infection to rashes, summer can wreak havoc on your skin. Here are some skin issues and a few tips to help your skin stay healthy this summer.

2. Yeast Infections

As many of us have learned the hard way, yeast infections are seriously uncomfortable and they can occur during any season. However, the heat and humidity of the summer months increases the risk of getting one. Again, certain precautions help — change out of your bathing suit right after a swim, wear cotton underwear, and try to avoid tight-fitting clothes. You’ll also want to avoid using scented hygiene products because they contain chemicals that can put you at greater risk of a yeast infection.

As always, seek treatment as soon as possible if you do develop a yeast infection. If it’s your first infection, see a doctor to ensure that you haven’t misdiagnosed yourself. However, if you’ve had this uncomfortable condition before, you probably know the drill — you can head to the drugstore for antifungal cream, a vaginal suppository, or an antifungal tablet. But don’t justtreat yourself at home if you’re pregnant — you’ll want to have a doctor confirm that your condition is actually a yeast infection before you begin any kind of treatment.

Summer is great but there are some added health risks to your skin beyond your painful sunburn when you forget to wear sunscreen. From increased risk of bacterial and fungal infection to rashes, summer can wreak havoc on your skin. Here are some skin issues and a few tips to help your skin stay healthy this summer.

1. Folliculitis

Folliculitis is a common skin condition that’s caused by a bacterial or fungal infection. It causes the skin to become red and inflamed — it’s basically a form of acne that’s incredibly itchy. The primary symptom is inflamed hair follicles, which will appear as small red bumps rising around the follicles. Folliculitis can occur at any time of the year, but it’s more common in the summer because sweaty skin increases your likelihood of developing the condition.

And I have some bad news for those of us who love to live in workout clothes — this increases the risk of folliculitis because the tight but comfy attire compresses the hair follicles and makes it easier for bacteria to grow there. So, during the summer months, it’s wise to change out of our workout gear as soon as we’re done exercising and shower as quickly as possible.

If you suspect you have folliculitis, have your skin examined by a dermatologist in order to determine the best way to treat your particular case. For mild infections, an antibiotic or antifungal cream usually does the trick. In the meantime, use antibacterial soap and avoid shaving on or near the affected area of your skin. A warm compress and moisturizer can also help alleviate the itchy, unpleasant symptoms.

So you’ve just gotten laser treatments. How do you take care of it? Here are some tips from Laser Smooth Company on how to take care of your newly treated smooth skin!

Post Treatment Care

• We will apply a soothing aloe and vitamin E lotion to treated areas.
• There is no downtime with laser hair removal, so you can immediately engage in normal activities following your appointment.
• We advise the use of sunscreen for the next 48 hours.
• Immediate and continuous sun exposure, tanning, or working under halogen lights is to be avoided.
• Remember, immediate redness (erythema) is to be expected and generally goes away in a few minutes or hours. Important to note, it is generally considered a desirable side effect because it evidences effective damage to the follicles. However, as erythema presents itself as redness to the treated area, most people prefer to schedule appoints for treatment of the face or other visible areas on a Friday or over the weekend so that normal skin tone returns before the start of a new week.

Facials can be a great way to help take care of your skin, keeping it fresh, bright and healthy so that it glows. there are so man options out there though that it can be hard to know which one will be beneficial for your skin. Here are a few tips for picking the best facial for you.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU GET ONE?
How often you get a facial will primarily depend on your skin type and lifestyle. It is best to consult with an aesthetician to determine what facial is best for you.

The climate strongly influences your skin condition. For example, in summer it is more important for oily skin to get facials and apply a moisturiser with sun block after.

Facials are for everyone and prevent problems for everyone. Most conditions should improve with regular facials, unless it’s a systemic problem. In such cases, you need to see a dermatologist.

WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
Facials are usually relaxing and therapeutic, but there can be a few uncomfortable moments in the process. One seemingly unpleasant part – extractions! But don’t worry; they’ll be well worth it in the end.

The facial treatment usually involves the following being done to the face:

• Cleansing

• Toning

• Exfoliation

• Steaming

• Extraction

• Facial masque

• Massage

• Moisturising

A well-equipped aesthetician usually has a magnifying glass to identify impurities in the face. The skin is properly prepared and softened by facial steaming for successful extraction.

Premature extraction can cause skin scarring, and a good aesthetician will know that. Manual extraction can be painful and it’s possible that redness sometimes follows a facial, especially a deep pore cleanse treatment.

However, this usually goes away in about a day.

MAKE YOUR RESULTS LAST
The first step in making your facial last is getting your facial done by a properly trained and licensed aesthetician. If you are going to invest in a good-quality facial, make sure you get your money’s worth. The line of products used will strongly impact your treatment outcome – a professional line is always best!

When you’ve done a facial, make sure you maintain the results: it’s like going to your doctor and taking your prescription as recommended. You can’t expect the results to last if you go home and do nothing at all. You have to use a cleanser and moisturiser for your skin type and ensure that the aftercare recommended by your aesthetician is done for your own benefit.

Are you planning to get laser hair treatment? Make sure you do these pre-treatment steps to make sure you are getting the best results! Here are some tips for pre-treatment care.

• Please give a close shave to the areas receiving treatment the morning of your appointment. For harder to reach places, such as the backside, we can provide assistance just prior to application of our laser.
• The area to be treated should be freshly cleaned and left free from any make-up, perfumes, lotions, creams, and/or antiperspirants.
• Areas to be treated should be as light as possible, so avoid tanning 2 weeks leading up to treatments. Also, avoid sunless tanning products leading up to your appointments.
• Do not wax or otherwise remove the roots of the hair follicles 3 weeks prior to receiving laser hair removal. Studies suggest, however, that waxing 3 weeks prior to an appointment may increase overall efficacy – as every treated hair is now in its active state of growth.
• Do not bleach any hair to be treated, or lighten its color.
• You must advise us of any medications you’re currently taking or have taken in the past 6 months which increases sensitivity to light. Examples include several antibiotic and antifungal medications as well as isotretinoin.

When you’re out and about make sure you not only apply sunscreen but bug repellent too. Bug bites are uncomfortable but certain bugs can spread diseases. Here are some helpful tips to prevent being bitten while you are active this summer.

• If you want both sun and bug protection, apply the sunscreen first and allow it to dry before applying insect repellent.
• Do not apply insect repellent on the skin under clothing.
• Consider using clothing, boots, tents and other gear that are treated with the insecticide permethrin. Pre-treated clothes are available for purchase. Anyone treating clothes at home should follow instructions carefully. Permethrin should not be applied directly to the skin.
• It’s also a good idea to cover up as much as possible. Wearing long-sleeved shirts, long pants, socks and a hat can help prevent bug bites. Shirts should be tucked in. Pants can also be tucked into socks for additional protection. Keep in mind, however, that some bugs can bite through thin fabrics.
• When traveling, stay in hotels or other places with air conditioning or good window and door screens.
• If bugs can’t be kept out of sleeping areas, sleep under a permethrin-treated bed net that can be tucked under the mattress.
• When sleeping outside, use mosquito coils or other area repellents that contain metofluthrin or allethrin.
