If you’re living with Lymphedema, spending more time out and about in the heat means being a little extra prepared to help manage swelling, protect your skin, and stay comfortable.

Here are a few things to always keep in your purse or bag during warmer weather:
 ~ A reusable water bottle to stay hydrated
 ~ Unscented moisturizer to protect dry or irritated skin. Try Lymphology Skincare Body Cream!
 ~ Bandages or antiseptic wipes for small cuts or bug bites
 ~ A backup compression sleeve, glove, or sock if needed
 ~ Sunscreen and sunglasses for sun protection
 ~ A healthy snack to keep your energy steady while on the go

A little preparation can go a long way in helping you enjoy the sunshine safely and confidently. Here’s to warmer days ahead!
