SOS: Warm weather and prevention

Hi there!,

How are you affected by warm weather in Dubai and what do you do to prevent it?

I notice my dry skin and I feel more tired with less vitality and desire to do things.
I drink lots of water and eat vegetables and fruits, practise sports and I hydrate much my face, besides I have started taking a multivitamin supplement.

Any advice more?

Thanks

Less alcohol intake, easy on workout and jogging, and stay inside in noon time.

Don't just count on water intake for hydration.

It is not just fluid you are losing when you sweat, you are also losing minerals and salts too. Buy something like Prolyte or Pocari Sweat to replace these, or, even though you are drinking plenty of water, you may still suffer.

I found this out the hard way.

Unfortunately no! Once summer arrives, it is hot and humid just about everywhere in the UAE.

However, the A/C makes life bearable. The only time you will feel the heat and humidity is on the walk from your car into your home/ office and vice versa.

I find that very early morning and late in the evening, the temperature and humidity is slightly more bearable.

Keep your body hydrated and wear sunscreen and you should be fine. The first summer is always the hardest but come next year, you'll be used to it.

Being a redhead my sunscreen is never far away!

All of the above as well as a good body lotion. AC is harsh on the skin. At night I use a body lotion/cream and during the day I use something called argan oil, or Moroccan oil, in its purest form. Has a nutty smell which fads within minutes after putting it on but is not greasy and keeps the skin soft. Its not something you will find easily. I purchased mine at the Moroccan site at Global Village, but if you can find a store that sells Moroccan goods they may have it. It is also excellent for the hair when you mix a little with hair cream. Keeps the frizzies at bay!!!!

You can escape the humidity if you fancy a day trip to al ain. Maybe lose a couple fo degrees by going to the pool area a the Mecure atop Jebel Hafeet too.

P.S. Ginger power!
