The monsoon’s coming as a huge relief and a refreshing cast of spell after the scorching summer. And you’re there wondering why your skin’s becoming all dull and out of life.
In fact, you might have acne breaking out and oils splurging all over, making your body smell bad. And beat yourself up with all the chemicals to stop your skin from reacting the way it should.
Well, how would you like to know you’re not the only one? Sit back and get something to munch on as we’ll be listing down five tips to take care of your skin the right way this monsoon!
Clear the dampness away!
Hey, monsoon’s meant to be dampy, but not your skin, right?
Moisture can leave your skin filled with dirt, oils, and pollutants and you need to get your cleaning ritual together. Pick up a soap-free cleanser and use a natural scrub.
Clean your skin twice a day with the right products to strip off dirt and help your skin breathe better.
Don’t forget to hydrate your skin!
Remember, damp skin is not a moisturized skin. You still need to get hold of a good moisturizer and apply a bit of it when you feel your skin’s losing its cool. Find a moisturizer that will help retain the water needed for your skin to maintain the complexion and keep it healthy!
Before you slather all of it on your skin, make sure the moisturizer is lightweight and non-greasy.
Pick up the right fabric!
How often do you find your clothes coming in the way of comfort?
The monsoons, with all the dampness, can make it strikingly tough for you to maintain your skin without the right fabrics. Perspiration and wet clothes don’t go well with each other. Choose quick-dry and moisture-absorbing fabrics like cotton, linen, and rayon to save yourself from the itchy wetness.
Don’t forget your sunscreen!
Remember, the sun’s effects are still there even if you don’t see it. Skin, when exposed to UVA and UVB rays can develop wrinkles and age spots.
Staying in or going out, make sure you wear sunscreen every day. It can help your complexion and prevent damage from free radicals.
If you go out frequently, choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin better!
Go for antifungal products!
As much as you render care to the visible factors, you also should be aware of the lesser-known issue: Fungal infections. Perspiration can cause accumulation of bacteria and fungus, causing infections and bad odor. Dampness and humidity can cause rashes in skin folds and creaks, making it irritating and at times, painful.
Anti-fungal products containing ketoconazole and selenium sulfide can support your skin during the monsoon from sweat accumulation.
Conclusion
Monsoons won’t be easy on your skin. But, having a skincare ritual and using the right products can make it smooth and glowing. Keep your skin breathable and hydrated with the right fabric and moisturizer.
Go for natural ways to take care of your skin to lessen the impact of chemicals. Pick a workout regime and stick to a proper diet to make your skin healthy, in and out.
