Ultimate Monsoon Skin Care Routine For Healthy And Flawless Skin
August 05, 2022Our skin health depends on various factors such as genetics, lifestyle choices and even the climate we live in. While the rainy season brings us relief from the summer heat, it also increases humidity in the atmosphere. This seasonal shift deeply affects our skin’s appearance and functioning for a few months. Let’s understand the different skin concerns that occur during monsoon and learn how to design an organic skin care routine to tackle them.
What Effect Does the Monsoon Weather Have on Different Skin Types?
-
Normal To Dry Skin
Normal skin and dry skin experience slightly more sebum production this season than usual. But if you cleanse or exfoliate frequently, your skin can become dehydrated and irritated.
-
Oily To Combination Skin
Oily skin and combination skin produce even more oil in a humid climate and are more prone to breakouts too.
-
Sensitive Skin
Sensitive skin is more prone to getting rashes and bug bites this season.

Step 1 - Cleansing
