Re: How to deal with heat

[soldatsasha]

Body powder, if you find some you aren't allergic to, is amazing. The medicated/menthol/cooling kind can burn like a motherfucker if you have sensitive or irritated skin but I've never had it increase the irritation. I use it all over the inside of my thighs and under my belt, on my feet, and around my calves where my boots rub. Sometimes if I'm wearing a toolbag or something I'll use it on my chest and shoulders where it rests, too.

If you can, change your clothes whenever you get really sweaty in them.

Drink way more than you think you need to. When I'm working outside I'm often drinking a bottle of ice water every half-hour, and alternating that with powerade. At the end of the day I often have a layer of dried salt all over my skin and clothing from sweating so much, your body really loses a lot from being in the heat so you HAVE to replenish it.

Those cool rag things, or even just a cool damp towel, are great if you don't mind your shirt getting soaked. I sometimes drape a cool rag over my head and wear it under my hat to protect my neck and shoulders and also keep me cool if I'm in the sun.

Make sure you're eating enough. I know the heat makes most people not hungry, but it's really important to replenish the stuff you're sweating out. I have trouble with this, so I eat a ton of ice cream, frozen yogurt for protein, popsicles, smoothies, etc. during the summer.

I don't have any help for oily skin, I've just resigned myself to being perpetually greasy for 10 months out of the year. :(
