Crisp, clean white is the color of choice this summer. Any other time of the year, we're more concerned about wine or spaghetti sauce spills on our favorite tee or LWD (little white dress). But once summer rolls around, there's another stain at play that our trusty stain-remover pen can't blot out: sweat stains.

Ironically, experts believe it's the sweat-stopping aluminum in antiperspirants that creates the telltale yellow pit stains. You can swap your antiperspirant for a natural deodorant, which may solve the staining issue, but not the sweating one. At the end of the day, you're going to end up with some perspiration on your clothing, so your best bet is to focus on how to remove inevitable stains.

Wash your clothing immediately after wearing them. Run water over the stained area, then slather a paste of baking soda and warm water over it. Let the paste sit for 30 minutes to an hour, then rinse and machine wash as usual. If it the stain doesn't budge, try submerging the article in a shallow bowl containing crushed aspirin and warm water. Let it sit for two to three hours, then throw it in the washing machine.

Multiple beach trips, poolside parties and vacay itineraries mean painful things like hot wax and sharp razors are spending more quality time with your sensitive bikini line. Unless you want to debut red, irritated skin and ingrown hairs alongside your cute bikini bottoms, Noemi Grupenmager, founder of Uni K Wax Centers, says your hair removal regimen requires some serious planning.

"Be sure to let your hair grow out about one-eighth to one-quarter of an inch before going in for waxing," says Grupenmager. Also, avoid the boozy brunch beforehand -- alcohol tightens pores. While waxing is the smarter choice because it removes hair below skin level, there are a few things you can do to keep the ingrown hairs and razor burn that come with shaving at bay.

"Always use shaving cream or gel to protect skin from irritation and ingrown hairs and always use a razor with a sharp blade -- dull blades cause nicks and give you an uneven shave," Grupenmager emphasizes.

If your bikini line is already in bad shape, the best thing you can do is give your cover-up some wear until the area has time to recover. Moisturize, moisturize, and moisturize some more, use sun protection and spend minimal time under tight, suffocating fabrics like your swimsuit. Image Source: Pinterest

That blazing sunburn on your stomach or back can easily be covered up when you're not beachside, but a burnt face is a different story. To tone down your sunburned hue, makeup artist Misha Shahzada, of Artist & Agency says you need to rethink your regular skin care plan.

Skip your regular moisturizer if it's full of emollients like petroleum jelly or silicones, which can further irritate damaged skin. Instead, apply one that's formulated with natural moisturizing humectants, like aloe vera, or one with lactic acid, which will help turn over your damaged cells more quickly. To protect your extra-tender skin from further damage, use a sunscreen like, Dermalogica Super Sensitive Shield, $48, which is free of irritating chemicals. Or, try Avene Antirougeurs Day Redness-Relief Soothing Cream SPF 25, $36, which has a green tint to help mask redness.

To even out the redness, apply a yellow-based mineral foundation or powder, or a bronzer. Just be sure to skip anything shimmery, which will only make your burn more noticeable. Image Source: Pinterest

Skimpy clothes, swarms of bugs and sweetly scented lotions can only mean one thing: It's feeding time (and your skin is the main course). According to the CDC, the only bug repellents you should be using to ward of blood-thirsty pests will contain DEET, lemon eucalyptus oil or picardin. Forget the Skin So Soft and learn to love natural plant oils of the the rosemary, eucalyptus, clove and peppermint variety.

If you've already been bitten, (join the club), apply an ice cube to the mark to keep itching at bay and swelling down. Alternate one minute with the cube on and one minute with it off for 10 minutes. Dr. Marina Peredo, a dermatologist in Smithtown, N.Y., then recommends a drop of witch hazel to take out the itch and inflammation, and coconut oil to speed up the healing process. Just be sure to apply these natural remedies at home and indoors, because pleasant-smelling oils will attract more bugs once you step outside. If you're covering up a bump with makeup, thoroughly clean the bite first and pick a product with SPF. Image Source: Living Traditionally

What's that reddish rash slowly overtaking the awkward area below your armpit? If you haven't recently rubbed up against a poisonous shrub or eaten something you're allergic to, it's most likely a heat rash. The name implies it's caused by direct exposure to sunlight, but it's usually caused by fabrics that trap heat and suffocate and chafe your skin in the process. This trapped heat clogs your sweat ducts, which causes them to swell and itch.

Stick to breathable, cotton clothing when possible, stay away from any skin care products are full of oil, and try to keep any areas affected by heat rash dry. Get out of the heat, remove the clothing that's causing the problem and apply a cold compress. Then, apply like Skinfix Rash Repair Balm, $16.50, a natural balm (and summer beauty bummer cure-all) that heals a number of skin irritations sans steriods. Image Source: Pinterest
