Drink plenty of water - Travel and outdoor activities
can quickly dehydrate the body, so drinking water is essential to keep the body’s organs functioning optimally. Drinking 6-8 glasses a day is recommended.
Use skin moisturizers - Protect your skin by using a moisturizer to seal moisture in. You can use a household basic like
vaseline petroleum jelly to form a barrier between your skin and the elements.
Wear sunscreen - Use sunscreen on exposed skin especially at high altitudes. Don't forget to protect your lips too!
Wear sunglasses -
The glare of
the sun causes an increased threat to the eyes, so choose sunglasses that block 100% of UV rays and wear them at all times.
Reduce the number of warm baths
- Hot water strips skin of natural oils and can be extremely drying to the skin, so limit the number of hot baths and showers you take.
Wear breathable fabrics
- Look for fabrics that "breathe" to help keep sweat and moisture away from skin, since 90% of
the clothes insulating effectiveness is lost when clothes get wet.
