Good skincare: Avoid direct un protected sun exposure use a quality broad spectrum block with either zinc or titanium avoid profuse prolonged sweating and if you do wash as soon as you are able continue exfoliation with a cleanser that contains a low potency glycolic or salicylic acid these are good simple measures you can follow year round.
