The world has a big concern regarding the climate change, as we all notice recently (the last 10 years), no matter where do you live you the atmosphere is slightly warmer or even hotter that you used to. The same thing with oceans being warmer and more acidic, higher sea levels, and larger changes in precipitation patterns. As a result, the levels of humidity get higher every year in an expected way. You already notice that this summer is not just very hot, but also humid. Humidity affects a lot of aspects and your skin is not excluding unfortunately.

This article will guide you on how to survive the humidity, as we have no choice but to accept it and deal with it.
