Why chafing happens so often in summer

In summer, warm weather and more outdoor activities unfortunately lead to more skin irritations such as chafing. Here you can find out why these complaints are more frequent in the warmer months and how to prevent them effectively.

Reasons for more frequent chafing in summer

Certain conditions in the summer months increase the risk of skin irritation:

• Increased sweat production: High temperatures lead to increased sweating, which keeps the skin moist and increases friction between the skin and clothing or between skin surfaces.
• Lighter and more revealing clothing: Summer clothing often covers less of the body, leading to more direct skin contact and friction.
• More active lifestyle: Many people exercise more in the summer and are more active, which increases friction between areas of skin that rub together.

Effective measures to prevent chafing in summer

These preventative measures help you avoid chafing and the discomfort that comes with it in summer:

• Choose proper clothing: Wear lightweight, breathable, seam-free clothing that wicks away moisture and causes less friction.
• Use protective barriers: Products such as the anti-chafing stick form a protective layer on the skin that reduces friction and prevents skin irritation.
• Regular skin care: It helps to buy the right body care, keep the skin dry and use moisturisers to keep it supple and improve its resilience.
• Adequate hydration: A good fluid intake helps to regulate body temperature and avoid excessive sweating.
