And for many, summer means new wellness goals that we set for ourselves which may include images of healthy, glowing, and smooth skin. \u00a0It\u2019s possible that the brutal, New York winters cause us to idealize the summer season, which leads us to forget about the humidity and harshness of the sun\u2019s rays in addition to all the annoying New York summer problems like sunburn, heat rash and bug bites. \u00a0Not to fear! Wellvyl has some quick fixes for those summer wellness woes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sunburn<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Obviously, you should ALWAYS apply SPF before heading outside. \u00a0But I know that sometimes you just don\u2019t feel like it, or you\u2019re in a rush, or maybe you did apply it earlier that day but you simply forgot to reapply. \u00a0And as a result, you may end up with a painful, ugly sunburn. \u201cIf you do find yourself burned, immediately drink cold ice water to keep your body temperature down and internally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practo.com\/healthfeed\/15-top-skin-problems-in-summer-27648\/post\">hydrate<\/a>.\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Any anti-inflammatory, such as Motrin, Tylenol, and aspirin are also effective ways of treating the pain that comes with a sunburn. \u00a0\u00a0According to the American Academy of Dermatology, lotions that have Aloe Vera in them help make your skin feel better when it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aad.org\/public\/kids\/skin\/skin-cancer\/treating-sunburn\">burned<\/a>.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0But you have to examine the ingredients closely because lotions or creams with petroleum, benzocaine, or lidocaine have the potential to cause more harm than help. Lotions with petroleum trap the heat in your skin which is the opposite of what you would want when you have a sunburn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Heat Rash<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to the New York State Department of Health, heat rash is a skin irritation that looks like a red cluster of pimples or small <a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.ny.gov\/publications\/1243\/.\">blisters<\/a>.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0Hot, humid weather brings on this rash, in which clogged sweat ducts trap perspiration under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/pictures\/how-to-treat-and-avoid-summer-skin-problems\/2\/\">skin<\/a>. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Natural remedies to soothe heat rash include mixing one cup of baking soda and four drops of lavender oil and adding this mixture to a tepid bath and applying chilled chamomile tea topically to the <a href=\"http:\/\/nydoctorsurgentcare.blogspot.com\/\">area<\/a>.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0And it\u2019s a good idea to consult your physician if your heat rash doesn\u2019t go away on its own after a few days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bug Bites<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bug bites are painful and itchy, and it\u2019s even worse when they appear on your face. \u00a0We sometimes forget that insects like mosquitos, bees, and spiders like to make guest appearances during those New York summer months. \u00a0And sometimes those bites seem to just come out of nowhere \u2013 without warning! Jennifer Reichel, M.D., a Seattle-based dermatologist says that itching and scratching those bites with unwashed hands can make them vulnerable to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.womenshealthmag.com\/beauty\/a19929688\/how-to-heal-bug-bites\/\">infection<\/a>. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reichel recommends applying a topical steroid cream like hydrocortisone, which is available over the counter. \u00a0If you prefer an at-home remedy, using a thick layer of sandalwood paste or fuller\u2019s earth soaked in rose water on the affected area of the skin can aid in reducing the skin allergies caused due to the insect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practo.com\/healthfeed\/15-top-skin-problems-in-summer-27648\/post\">bites<\/a>.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0And if you can\u2019t stop scratching the area, try mixing baking soda with water to create a paste, and apply to the bitten areas to reduce itching. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0Instead of applying coverup to the area, it\u2019s better to let your skin breathe and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practo.com\/healthfeed\/15-top-skin-problems-in-summer-27648\/post\">heal<\/a>. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But if the bite seems inflamed, it\u2019s always a smart idea to consult your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.womenshealthmag.com\/beauty\/a19929688\/how-to-heal-bug-bites\/\">dermatologist<\/a>! <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As always, prevention is better than a cure when it comes to New York\u2019s sun-related problems. \u00a0While it\u2019s enjoyable to hang outside with friends and family, make sure you\u2019re limiting your sun exposure to avoid those summer wellness woes!<\/span> <br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html\">http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html<\/a> <br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html\">http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html<\/a> <br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html\">http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html<\/a> <br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html\">http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer is an exciting time for New Yorkers. \u00a0Finally, we are free from the unpredictability of spring weather. \u00a0We can anticipate bright and shiny days ahead.
