Start the day to clean your face. Try one face wash To be used that is free of dyes, artificial fragrances, soap and alcohol as much as possible. This way you prevent your skin from getting too dry. This also applies to the body wash. We recommend a product that only contains natural ingredients.

So it will eventually give you a cleaner feeling. A cold shower is very tasty at the moment, but will only cause discomfort afterwards. Due to the cold shower, your body cools down and you get extra problems with the heat after showering. You have to get used to the heat again and immediately start to sweat again. So shower with water from the same temperature as normal.
5. Use less perfume
Taking good care of your body is really enough to smell good in the summer. In the hot sun, the odor molecules are of yours perfume Affected and that influences the odor. It also dries out the skin. Do you still use perfume? Then only use a small amount after showering and do not use it to mask sweat odor. You will really only smell dirty.

8. Cut your nails
Long nails means faster dirt that remains. Especially in the summer when you are more outside. Also cut the toenails briefly so that everyone dares to look at your feet. In the summer there is more of your body visible. So also your feet. Long dirty toenails is very unpleasant and that is at the expense of your external care. Cut them straight to prevent ingrown toenails. Still dirty feet? Take a foot bath of warm water with Epsom salt more often. What will you have clean feet.
