Monsoon Skin Care: 5 Easy Steps for a Healthy Skin
Fresh rain, the smell of the soil, the cool breeze, and the after-rain skyline – that’s the treat monsoon brings for us. But along with them accompanies the unbearable humidity. While it’s already annoying enough, what it does to our skin is beyond that. This is why having a monsoon skin care can prove quite beneficial. So if you want to tackle your skin issues during this sweet but troublesome season, we suggest you stick by this blog. So without any ado, let’s explore the basic steps that you can take to shield your skin!
Revive Your Skin with These 5 Steps!
While it’s well-known that the rainy season isn’t very friendly with oily and combination skin types, the issues that people with dry skin face aren’t talked about much. The humidity during this season makes oily skin oilier and dry skin drier. Surprised, right? Then imagine having both these issues at the same time like a combination of skin-type faces! Acne, pimples, dullness, and fungal infections become quite common during monsoon. Hence, having correct and consistent skin care in the rainy season can be of great help.
Cleanse Up!
Cleansing your skin forms the base of your skincare routine. It exterminates the dirt, sweat, and makeup(if applied) from your skin. Use a gentle cleanser that suits your skin. You may also use natural ingredients like tea tree oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, rose water, milk, coconut oil, aloe vera, honey, etc.
Exfoliate Your Skin
Exfoliating the skin is very important as it unclogs the skin’s pores and gets rid of dead skin cells. You don’t have to buy costly products for exfoliating your skin. You can use basic kitchen ingredients like coffee, sugar, papaya, yoghurt, tea bags, oatmeal, etc. to stimulate the growth of new skin cells.
Tone your Skin
Leaving your skin pores open will lead to the accumulation of dirt in them, resulting in acne breakouts. Besides, as the name suggests, a toner helps even tone your skin. Natural toners like cucumber water, rose water, lemon juice, green tea, aloe vera, and many more can be used as natural toners.
Mositurising
Whether you have oily, dry, or combination skin, moisturising is one of the most essential steps of not just rainy season skin care but over the year. What matters is if you are choosing the right moisturiser. For instance, if you have oily skin, go for water-based or oil-free moisturisers. The core function of a moisturiser is to maintain your natural skin oils and keep it externally hydrated.
Shielding (Sunscreen)
Because the weather is all cloudy outside, do you want to skip sunscreen? Honey, please do not do that! Sunscreen acts as a shield against harmful UV rays. Even in cloudy weather, you can’t escape these rays. Use a gel-based and water-resistant sunscreen to keep your skin protected throughout the day. Also, make sure to apply sunscreen 20 minutes before stepping out.
