How to protect your skin from summer heat and humidity

With warmer weather leading to more outdoor activity, Dr. McGeorge and Dr. Susan Massick offer tips to prevent summer skin issues like sunburn, acne, folliculitis, melasma, and heat rash. Protective clothing, regular cleansing, breathable fabrics, re-moisturizing, and using SPF 50+ sunscreen are recommended. Special attention is advised for those taking antibiotics due to potential photosensitivity and sun allergies, which can be managed with antihistamines and steroids.
