After experiencing the sweltering heat of summer, the rainy season is always welcomed. It’s always easy to get lost in the season’s cooler temps and pleasantly gloomy skies. However, the shift in weather can be harsh on your skin. To begin with, it takes some time for your skin to acclimate to the rapid shift in conditions. If ignored, your skin may lose its natural radiance (which we clearly dread).
The best way to deal with this is to ensure that your morning skincare routine smoothly transitions with the changing seasons. To help you navigate the rainy season with ease, we’ve compiled a list of natural skincare practices you can do at home, followed by a monsoon-friendly skincare routine for all skin types and some FAQs on the topic.
These Are The Only Skincare Tips You Need During Monsoons
SPF Is Your BFF
Regardless of the season or your gender, your skincare routines should always include sunscreen. While sunscreen is crucial throughout the summer, it is also necessary to get through the rainy season. Even though the day might appear gloomy, UV rays from the sun can still harm your skin. As a result, use a water-resistant sunscreen without a doubt.
Wash Your Face
Washing your face twice a day is crucial throughout the year, but especially during the monsoon when your skin is more likely to gather grime. During the monsoon season, the best skincare routine for dry skin should include a soap-free cleanser to avoid stripping your skin of natural oils by washing it often.
Get Scrubbin’
Exfoliating regularly throughout the monsoon season can aid in the removal of acne-causing germs and bacteria that have accumulated on your skin. Use a gentle scrub (physical or chemical as per your comfort) that is perfect for your skin type.
Switch To Non-Greasy Moisturisers
Humidity does not mean you can do away with moisturiser. Applying moisturiser is the most basic skincare regimen step that you must follow even if it is raining outdoors. Depending on your skin type, you could also go for a lightweight, non-greasy moisturiser.
Less Is More
Applying heavy makeup during monsoons can be difficult, and it may not last as long as you’d like it to. It can also clog your skin’s pores, causing outbreaks and infections. Replace your heavy foundation with a light CC cream and your lipsticks with lip tints or tinted lip balms.
