Most of the time you&#8217;re\u00a0going to outdoors require you to deal with the latter. It&#8217;s especially tough when right at\u00a0noon, and after, when the heat is at its worst.<\/p>\n<p>This means you need to cover up the moment you step out in the sun. A hat made of a\u00a0light, sweat-wicking fabric is a great idea. Many even soak their head in a bit of water\u00a0before heading out. Similarly, light, airy fabrics that provide you some cover while letting air\u00a0circulate are essential. When you do stop for rest, do it indoors, away from the sun.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/shade.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5373\" src=\"http:\/\/www.manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/shade.jpg\" alt=\"shade\" width=\"800\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/shade.jpg 900w, https:\/\/manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/shade-300x202.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Leave_Early\"><\/span><strong>Leave Early<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As mentioned earlier, most of your day will have you battling harsh sunlight.

Also, carry a brand of talcum powder\u00a0especially recommended for prickly heat. Don&#8217;t forget to carry lip balm with SPF, as dryness\u00a0causes cracked lips and peeling. If you apply makeup, keep it minimal.
