1
No sunscreen today, so stay out of the sun. Shade, a hat and sunglasses are your only cover until tomorrow.

Keep your face dry - shower from the neck down today.
3
Plain moisturiser as often as your skin asks for it. Nothing active, nothing new, and no makeup.
4
No exercise, saunas, or anything that makes you overheat.
