If you Love Monsoon, remember it is the kind of weather where you need to love your skin too, it needs utmost care in this particular season. Here are some easy steps to follow that specialists advice you to abide by –
Skin Care for Monsoon
1) Sunscreen is forever - Always remember that sunscreen is your friend – Rain or no Rain, the sun can reveal itself from behind the clouds at anytime. Sunscreen does the beautiful job of protecting your skin. If you’re scared about using it during the monsoons, go for a waterproof sunscreen and one that suits your skin type so by the end of the day your face doesn’t feel greasy.
Tip - If tanning is a problem that you have been facing for a while, get in touch for a custom made treatment plan for an Anti-Tan regime at a dermatology clinic.
2) Hydrate –By this I really do not mean the rain water, as much as you may love the rain drops on your skin it plays a big role in accumulating dirt and oil in your pores. Drinking 6-7 glasses of water during the day helps keep your skin clean and glowing.
Tip – carry a mild Facewash (soap free) to cleanse your face twice a day or whenever needed.
3) Say No to cosmetics – During the rains, skin and hair are damaged easily, while we may love taking a walk when its breezy and chilly outside; this usually leads to a humid climate that in turn leads to dryness for the dry skin type and breakouts for the oily skin type. It’s recommended to go with little or no make-up in the monsoon, all natural and nude could be your look for the season.
