BELLA - Prickly Heat
PRICKLY HEAT
Why it happens 'It's caused by blocked sweat glands, so wear loose-fitting cotton
clothing and keep in the shade,' says Rebecca Freeman from the British Association of Dermatologists. Some brands of the contraceptive pill can make your skin more prone to sun sensitivities, such as prickly heat, so check that out with your GP. What to do about it
Cool showers are good, but don't use perfumed soap, which will irritate skin more. Similarly, don't use perfume on your skin. Try Saponaqua Natural Therapy Bar (£9.99 at www.saponaqua.com) in place of soap.
