Most-of us enjoy pleasant, warm
-weather and “outdoor activities.

Summer, however, introduces a host of
problems. Be prepared for bug bites
‘and other. skin irritations, and stock a
summer (ole bag with the essentials;
“adhesive bandages, rubbing alcohol,
“skin toner/freshener and cotton swabs.

- “From dry, sun-damaged skin to
“rashes. and common cuts or scrapes,
“many summer skin problems can be
‘treated with over-the-counter prepara-
tions,” explains Dr. Perry Robins, pres-
“ident of The Skin Cancer Foundation.

“#4 clean cotton swab, used as directed
‘bya doctor or pharmacist, for example,

“is ideal-for applying an ointment with-
“out risking conlamination of the skin
through contact with dirly fingers.”

- +. The following are some clever tips
‘for using cotton swabs to treat some
-commion summer pet peeves:

<«To remove a splinter easily and
“painlessly, first rub the area with cook-
- ing oil (for a non- slicky surface) and
apply ar an ice cube for a few minutes to

numb the area, Then use a good pair of
tweezers to grab a firm hold and
remove, Use.a clean, cushiony Q-tips
swab to gently apply an ointment or
hydrogen peroxide solution to prevent
infection,

*Trapped moisture under snug-fit-
ting jewelry can cause an irritating
rash. (Rings may be tighter in summer
because heat and humidity cause fin-
gets to swell.) Use a Q-lip to keep the

. small space ietween the ring and fin-

ger clean and dry, If arash does devel-
op and the ring is ‘impossible to
remove, apply a topical ointment to the
tight area with the cotton swab..

-Colton -swabs-are- also ideal for-use -

in the cye area or for skin irritations,
but choose your swab carefully! Q-tips
cotton swabs, for.cxample, are made of
100 percent pure colton with exira
cushioning at the tip for added safety.
*Heal and perspiration can cause
mascara lo smudge, so you may want
to switch to a waterproof farmula in
the summer. When smudges do occur,

Smart tips for summertime comfort and care

“use a clean, dry Q- lips swab dipped ‘in
non-olly makeup remover to wipe
smudges away from under the eye.

* Another seasonal skin irritation is
summertime pityriasis — often called
sandbox dermatitis because it has been
associated with playing in sandboxes.
A‘topical ointment may be prescribed
to hasten’ healing. Get to tough-to-
reach spots with a clean cotton swab.

* Squinting in the blazing sun can

cause tired, blocdshet eyes which are

further aggravated by chlorine or ocean
water, Bye drops may provide relief, but
can ruin makeup. After applying drops,
avoid the temptation to wipe away “tears
with fingers or palms (thus smearing and
streaking makeup) and use a clean Q-
tips swab to blot excess moisture,

* Mosquito bites are not really seri-
ous and do not require treatment, but
they can be extremely irritating! Keep
the area clean to prevent infection. And
if it's extremely uncomfortable, apply
calamine lotion to the bite with a clean
Q-tip. S1.936473
