Although, the flipside of this highly humid weather and oily foods is unwelcome pimples that we would rather do without. But why should you have to suffer breakouts when the weather is so chill?
Monsoons are meant to be refreshing and your skin woes shouldn’t be putting a damper on your mood. Neither should you shy away from indulging in those crispy rainy weather snacks just to keep your skin clear.

Tea Tree Truce

For a spot treatment, mix a drop of this oil with some Aloe Vera gel and apply it onto pimples.
