How going on holiday can affect your skin. Ali Hedley, Clinical Engagement Manager at Epaderm, has revealed how summer holidays can affect your skin and what you can do about it. Chlorine Swimming in chlorinated pools can leave your skin feeling dry and irritated. ”While swimming pools are a holiday favourite, chlorine might strip your skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation.” "You can apply a fast-absorbing moisturiser cream before swimming to ensure your skin is fully hydrated. After leaving the pool and having a shower you can reapply a cream that keeps your skin moisturised.” Saltwater Like chlorinated water, saltwater can make your skin feel dry and tight. ”The mineral-rich content of saltwater can have exfoliating benefits, but it might also lead to dryness if not managed properly.” "You can rinse your skin with fresh water after swimming in the ocean and apply a hydrating lotion to lock in moisture and soothe any irritation.” Air conditioning Air conditioning is a must in hot weather, but it can really dry out your skin. ”You can keep a hydrating facial mist handy and use it throughout the day and consider placing a small humidifier in your room to maintain moisture levels.” Humid heat On the plus side, if you are somewhere with humid heat, your skin might feel more hydrated than usual. "Many believe that humid heat leads to excessively oily skin and breakouts. However, the increased moisture in the air might actually help keep your skin hydrated.”
