How can you prevent heat and sunstroke?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stay hydrated: Sunstroke occurs when you get dehydrated and run out of sweat, so that your body's thermostat can no longer keep your body cool. Your body relies on water evaporation to stay cool. As long as you drink plenty of water while you're outside, you're not going to get sunstroke. If you suddenly stop sweating, it's time to get in the shade and drink lots of fluids!

Is ice or steam heat better for the absorption of skincare products? I saw a video of someone rubbing their face with a large block of ice for glowy skin & other. Wouldn't ice restrict the pores and prevent product absorption or am I missing sumthin?
