“One of the things that really needs to be paid attention to is the type of clothing that's worn,” Dr. Bangash said. “It's very important to wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing. “Tighter and extra layers of clothing will prevent heat dissipation or heat release from the body and affect your overall body temperature,” he explained. Protect yourself from sunburn “Sunburn prevention is also key,” Dr. Bangash said. That is “because areas of sunburn cannot release heat therefore trapping heat in the body.” Wearing sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher is one of the easiest ways to protect your skin from sunburn.
