There is no need to be afraid of heat and sun – if you follow simple rules, you can easily protect yourself from overheating.

If summer is in full swing, try not to go outside between 11am and 4pm. If you do need to go outside, move around in shaded areas.

The clothes should be light and loose. Be sure to wear a light-colored headdress made of natural materials, but leave belts, ties and cuffs for autumn.

Be sure to follow a drinking regimen - it is best to drink plain water, although light juices and weak tea are also allowed.

Do not eat too much, choosing from the wide variety of products fermented milk products, vegetables and fruits. Now is not the time to give up salt, because the body loses it with sweat.

If possible, take a cool shower several times a day.

Don't overdo it with sports - on the contrary, physical activity should be limited.

It is important to give up not only good habits, but also bad ones – alcohol (even the one with a low alcohol content) leads to dehydration of the body, constricts blood vessels and disrupts thermoregulation.

Previously, we talked about the difference between depilation and epilation.
