As the sweltering heat and harsh heatwave scald many parts of our country; our skin is the first to face heatwave's wrath in the form of heat rash, damaged skin, clogged pores, pigmentation, and many more.

According to skin expert Dr. Bhawuk Dhir-dermetalogist consultant at PSRI hospital, by sponging through ice or chilled water the pores get unclogged which had been clogged through sweat, and piled dirt which helps mitigate symptoms of skin damage i.e. heat rash and prickly heat which can be understood as hindrance of sweat ducts by sweltering heat and humidity.

Pore blockage is ubiquitous in the heatwave as they get clogged by heavy sweating and dirt that lead to skin breakouts.

As per dermatologist Amit Bangia, it is a wise skincare measure to avoid using bulky makeup and rather opt for applying a sunscreen to guard the skin against the Sun's UV rays and also apply a gel-based moisturizer which easily gets absorbed by the skin owing to its lightweight property and hydrates the skin. In addition to this, the gel-based moisturizer is best for sensitive skin and renders a cooling effect on the skin.

He stressed using UV-400 sunglasses and wide-brim hats to safeguard our face and eyes.
