Sun Allergy

For the people with sensitive skin, sun allergy is a very common name. This allergy type doesn’t even need you to be out in the sun as it is caused by allergy to sun rays and heat. This reduces naturally in about two to five days’ time.

Remedy

The best precautionary measure against sun allergy is to maintain distance from the sun and heat. It is better to stay in an air conditioned space during the day if one has sensitive skin. However, if the sun allergy catches up, it is recommended to treat it with cold water or aloe vera gel.

Prickly Heat Rash

Prickly heat rash is also a common skin rash problem faced during summer. Rashes on skin are common at the back, armpits and neck. This results in itchy skin and rashes on the skin.

One can choose to either stay in an air conditioned place during the day or can have regular bathing sessions to cool the body down. Prickly hear rashes can be treated at home using Aloe Vera and Witch Hazel. These remedies can minimize the skin rashes to a great extent. Calamines can also be used.

Acne Break Out

Acne occurs across the seasons but the acne breakout becomes nasty during summers. Due to the excessive heat excessive sweating as well as oil secretion from the facial pores combine to aggravate the acne breakout on the facial skin. Although there are certain home remedies for acne through which this menace can be contained.

Add around 25 neem leaves and 20 Tulsi leaves in two cups of boiling water and allow it to boil till it becomes half. Strain the leaves and store the concocted water solution in a refrigerator.
