Heat, humidity, salt water, chlorine and sunscreen all day — skin that behaves perfectly at home can turn on you within a week here. Heat rash, chafing, dry patches and irritation are the usual suspects, and they respond well to the right products.
What actually helps
Rinse off salt and chlorine as soon as you can, then moisturise.
Loose cotton rather than anything tight and synthetic in this humidity.
Keep skin folds dry — that is where most tropical irritation starts.
Change out of wet swimwear rather than letting it dry on you.
A rash that spreads, weeps, or keeps coming back deserves a look — show us, or see a doctor.
