We all know how important it is to wear sun protection in summer—but UV rays aren’t the only thing that can sabotage your skin during the warmer months. The more time we spend outdoors, the more we’re exposed to potentially harmful chemicals in products and the environment.

Take bug spray containing DEET, for example. According to the National Pesticide Information Center,  some people may experience rashes, redness, irritation, or other skin issues if they leave DEET on their skin for too long. Chlorine in swimming pools is another chemical that can cause skin rashes. It’s also known to strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and itching.

Then, there’s sunscreen. A recent study found that oxybenzone and other common chemical UV filters are absorbed into the body at high levels. While these chemicals haven’t been proven unsafe, scientists still don’t know what their long-term effects might be.

And what about pollution? Well, it’s been linked with an uptick in inflammatory skin conditions like acne and eczema, plus premature skin aging.

So what’s the solution? While most of us can’t completely avoid chemicals in summertime, we can help minimize the damage by deep-cleaning our skin after being outdoors. Here’s what I do after a day at the park or pool—it only takes a few minutes, but the benefits are beyond valuable.
