Ultimate Monsoon Skin Care Routine For Healthy And Flawless Skin

The condition of our skin is affected by numerous factors, such as genetics, lifestyle choices, and even the weather conditions in our area. While the rainy season provides a break from the intense summer heat, it also raises the humidity levels in the atmosphere. This seasonal shift has a considerable effect on our skin’s appearance and function for several months. Let’s delve into the various skin concerns that emerge during the monsoon and learn how to establish a natural skincare routine to tackle them.

How Does Monsoon Weather Impact Various Skin Types?

• Normal to Dry Skin

  People with normal or dry skin may observe a slight uptick in sebum production during this time. However, excessive cleansing or exfoliation can result in dehydration and irritation of the skin.

• Oily to Combination Skin

  Those with oily or combination skin often produce even more oil in humid conditions, making them more prone to breakouts.

• Sensitive Skin

  Sensitive skin is more vulnerable to developing rashes and insect bites during this season.

Ideal Organic Skincare Routine for Your Skin Type This Monsoon

Step 1 - Cleansing

• Normal to Dry Skin - In the morning, use a Brightening Face Wash with Tamanu + Rosehip. At night, apply a Brightening Enzyme Cleanser to thoroughly remove sunscreen and makeup.
• Oily to Combination Skin - Perform a double cleanse twice a day to eliminate buildup on your skin. Use organic rosehip oil to break down makeup, sunscreen, and excess oil on your face. Wipe it away with a soft, damp cloth, and follow up with an antibacterial foaming cleanser.
• Sensitive Skin - In the morning, cleanse your face with Bulgarian rose water using a cotton pad. At night, massage cold-pressed hemp seed oil onto your skin to dissolve makeup and sunscreen, then wipe it off with a soft, damp cloth. Conclude with a fragrance-free cleanser.

Step 2 - Toning

Mist your skin with natural flower water to help maintain a balanced pH level.

Step 3 - Exfoliating

Once a week, utilize a gentle face scrub to keep your pores clear and your skin feeling soft and smooth.

Step 4 - Face Mask

Apply a brightening face mask 1-2 times a week to achieve a more even-toned and radiant complexion.

Step 5 - Treatment

In the morning, use a 10% Vitamin C + EGCG Face Serum to combat dullness and reduce dark spots. At night, apply a 2% BHA + Zinc PCA Face Serum to prevent clogged pores and manage breakouts.

Step 6 - Moisturizing

• Normal to Dry Skin - During the day, apply cold-pressed rosehip oil to keep your skin hydrated, and at night, use an organic facial oil for added moisture.
• Oily to Combination Skin - Use organic aloe vera gel to maintain hydration throughout the day.
• Sensitive Skin - Apply cold-pressed rosehip oil both day and night to sustain moisture levels.

Step 7 - Sun Care

Even on overcast days, apply broad-spectrum sunscreen to your skin during the daytime. Choose a lightweight or nourishing formula that is suitable for your skin type.

Skincare Tips and Do’s and Don’ts for This Monsoon

Do’s -

• Cleanse your skin twice daily to remove excess oil.
• Exfoliate weekly to prevent clogged pores and acne.
• Regularly change your pillowcases and sanitize your phone screen daily to avoid breakouts.
• Wash your hands before touching your face.

Don’ts -

• Avoid over-cleansing, scrubbing, or using clay masks, as this can trigger oil production in oily skin and lead to dehydration in dry skin.
• Refrain from picking or squeezing pimples, as this can cause scarring.
• Do not scratch insect bites, as this can irritate your skin barrier. Instead, use aloe vera gel to soothe bites and keep your nails trimmed to resist the urge to scratch.
