Top Health (& Beauty) Dilemmas of the Season SOLVED

 

From controlling acne, rosacea, and eczema to preventing skin damage and aging,summer heatand humiditycan aggravate existing skin conditions or present new challenges.

Acne is a skin condition affecting the skin’s oil glands,resulting in clogged poresand flare-ups of lesions or pimples. Added summerhumidity, increased sweating, and cosmetic productsare all external causes of most seasonal skin problems. Other contributors likegenetics, hormones, medications, etc. can also be culprits to monitor.

Often mistaken for acne is rosacea, a skin condition that causes enlarged blood vessels, leading toredness and pimpleson certain areas of the face. Rosacea can also often be attributed to environmental changes. If left untreated, this condition will only worsen.
