Living in Singapore, where high levels of heat and humidity are the norm, locals are already accustomed to the challenges posed by the unpredictable weather conditions. However, extended periods of direct heat can be harmful, especially to individuals with chronic medical conditions.

Excessive heat can disrupt our body’s ability to regulate internal temperature, leading to various heat-related illnesses, such as heat rash (prickly heat) and heat exhaustion caused by excessive sweating and dehydration. In severe cases, prolonged exposure to intense heat can even lead to life-threatening heat stroke. It’s important to note that heat-related illnesses can affect anyone, regardless of age or health status.

So how do you prioritise your health in the face of extreme weather conditions? Here are 4 essentials tips to help you navigate the demands of our all-year sunny weather:

1. Regular cleansing

It’s crucial to cleanse your skin regularly to remove excess oil, sweat, and impurities that accumulate throughout the day. However, it’s equally important to use a gentle cleanser that suits your skin type, ensuring a thorough cleanse without stripping away essential moisture.

2. Hydration is Key

The warm climate can cause excessive water loss from the skin, leading to dehydration. Hence, it’s vital to ensure your skin is always moisturised. Hydrated skin not only looks healthier but also functions better as a protective barrier against external stressors. Besides topical moisturiser, do remember to keep yourself hydrated by drinking loads of water throughout the whole day, and not only when you feel thirsty.

3. Sunscreen is non-negotiable

You probably already know the importance of wearing sunscreen. Whether you are staying indoors or soaking up the sun’s rays, one thing remains indisputable: Sunscreen is an absolute necessity! Protecting your skin from harmful UV rays is crucial for preventing long-term damage.

4. Express treatments for swift results

Consider trying express treatments to calm and hydrate your skin in a short amount of time.
