Hot weather primarily affects the skin in . three ways. With the increase in the burning rays of the sun, there is a natural increase in their potency to burn the skin. Rising temperatures promote excessive perspiration which cannot evaporate easily, or be absorbed into clothing, if the humidity increases. These three factors can produce a haimful effect on the skin. Excessive exposure to the sun is a dangerous practice. Apart from any more or less immediate discomfiture it can produce, there are more serious consequences which can develop. Naturally, the amount of sun any of us can tolerate is dependent primarily on the amount of pigment or skin coloring. Redheads, for example, are deficient in pigment and consequently burn over the U.

Blondes are also more susceptible than brunettes. 1 Protective creams and lotions ' should be employed in acquiring a sun-tan, and the process of exposure should be carried on slowly. While a rffch mahogany tan may appear glamorous, the skin can be made considerably rougher and scalier in the process of acquiring such a tan. A severe burning should be avoided because of the numerous complications that may develop, resulting, frequently, in infections and very often a course, dry > skin. The wise person will expose his skin to the sun in grad- I ual amounts of time. Contact dermatitis is another j result of skih sensitivity. Lo-1 tions, creams and other cosmetics, perhaps not previously used, I will, in some sensitive persons, | produce severe skin reactions. Another form is one that develops from the poison ivy plant. In itself the plant does not cause the eruption; its juices are.re- FOR TODAY'S BEST BUYS In Good s USED CARS Turn To The McHenry Plaindealer WANT ADS ON PAGE 6 sponsible. This contact nay be established through intermediary objects, such is a pair of boots, a golf club, or a dog, any one of which may have been contaminated with the sap of the poison ivy plant. Excessive perspiration, particularly when it is not able to evaporate freely, can produce various local irritating effects on the skin, the best known of which is prickly heat. Indirectly, excessive perspiration can favor the development of fungous infections, particularly ringworm of the feet. The horny layer of the skin becomes more sodden, especially between the toes, and the moist, damp areas become nesting places for fungi which may lie donfeaut far ^ even years. Careful cleansing and drying of the feet are essential, and the application of talcum powder is a pleasing prophylactic against the^ infection. Once it develops the ringworm infections are difficult to clear up.
