Summertime is definitely the best to have fun, isn’t it? Be it outdoor beach vacay, refreshing pool dips, or indoor ice-cream parties with family and friends, we all have our cool plans to beat the heat. But, the sizzling heat waves and humidity in the air also bring along excessive sweating, body odor, irritating, sticky and prickly feeling.

Sweat attracts more dirt, dust, pollutants and microbes giving rise to multiple skin problems like prickly heat, itchy skin rashes, sunburns, acne break-outs and fungal infections.
