The month of April has just started and the heat has started showing its fierce form. The strong rays of the sun are not only making the body sweaty at this time but are also damaging the skin. Due to this, the problems of sunburn, rashes, and heat pimples arise due to the accumulation of oil and dirt on the skin, to avoid which you should adopt the right skincare routine.

Why do they occur?

Heat pimples, also known as miliary rash, are a skin problem. They mainly occur when the sweat glands get clogged, due to which sweat gets trapped inside the skin. In such a situation, when this sweat remains on the body for a long time, the number of germs increases, due to which small red rashes or pimples start appearing on the skin. This problem usually affects the neck, back, chest, and other parts of the body. In this condition, there is severe burning and itching on the affected area, due to which the skin looks red and swollen.

Stay hydrated

Hydration is very important in summer, so drink plenty of water and other electrolyte drinks, such as coconut and lemonade. Drinking the right amount of water removes toxins from the body. When there is a lack of water in the body, the skin looks dry and wrinkled. Lack of water in the body leads to the accumulation of dirt and oil in the pores, which becomes the main reason for pimples and heat pimples.

Oil-free moisturizer

To keep pimples away from the skin, wash the face with a mild and sulfate-free face wash after waking up in the morning and before sleeping, so that the oil and dirt present on the skin can be cleaned. After this, moisturize the face with an oil-free moisturizer. You should use only gel or water-based skin care products. This does not clog the pores and reduces the risk of pimples.

Choose the right clothes.

In this season, wear loose-fitting clothes made of light fabric like cotton. These clothes allow air to pass through so that sweat does not accumulate on the body. On the other hand, sweat remains trapped for a long time in tight and synthetic fabric and causes other problems along with pimples.

Some remedies

Apply aloe vera gel on the area affected by heat rash. The cooling and antibacterial properties of aloe vera gel soothe the skin and prevent pimples from growing. Put ice in a cotton cloth and apply it on the affected area, which reduces itching, swelling, and redness.

Take special care of food and drink.

Dermatologist Dr. B.L. Jangid says that heat pimples are mainly caused by sweat and people who sweat a lot are at a higher risk of it growing. Therefore, use a moisturizer base cream. Do not let sweat stay on the body. Wear clothes that absorb sweat quickly. Take care of food and drink to avoid heat pimples. Avoid oily and spicy foods as they produce more oil in the body, which can clog the skin pores. Eat more fresh fruits such as watermelon, cucumber and orange and green vegetables, which keep the body hydrated and nourish the skin. Also drink plenty of water.
