The monsoon season has hit us and brought along some respite from the sweltering heat. One cannot ignore the intoxicating fragrance of rain, the lush green freshly bathed trees and the coolness of the breeze. However, like every other season, it comes with its share of skin problems. While the rainy season may bring long spells of rains, it also brings along high humidity levels that can be a nightmare for your skin health, especially for those who already have an oily and acne-prone skin.
- A rainy or cloudy day doesn’t mean your skin is safe from the harmful ultra-violet rays of the sun. Use a good sunscreen every day to avoid any skin problem.
- Make sure you wash your face at least two-three times a day to avoid excess oil and dirt, further avoiding fungal infections.
- Drink lots of water to keep your body wary of toxins leading to acne and pimples.
- Try using more natural ingredients for your skin and less commercially bought skin products that can harm your skin.
- Try not to wear makeup as it can clog your skin pores and cause break-outs. Even if you are, make sure you clean it well before going to the bed.
- While monsoons call for bingeing on fried snacks, you must avoid eating them as they can cause break-outs and acnes.
Exfoliating in Monsoon
Exfoliation removes dead skin and helps unclog pores. It also helps in growth of new skin cells giving you a glowing skin. Some of the best exfoliators are coffee, tea bag, sugar, baking soda, papaya, oatmeal and yogurt. Make sure you exfoliate with these mildly abrasive ingredients.
