Beauty Basics For The Monsoons

The season of rains, romance and crispy delicacies is here! While snuggling in a blanket with a good, hot cuppa and a great book might seem like the best thing to do, life’s a little (or a lot) more demanding than all things love and leisure. Step out of your safe haven and you expose yourself to a host of puddles, literally and figuratively. Think, dry and frizzy hair, itchy scalp, oily skin, acne, and a host of other skin and hair problems that go hand in hand with monsoons. To enjoy what the season has to offer, while keeping beauty woes at bay, it’s important that you cutomise a self-care routine to suit the season. Find out how:

CLEAN THE SHEEN

Humidity and perspiration lead to excessive oil secretion that makes your face an easy bed for bacterial and fungal infectants. “Deep clean your skin twice a day with an anti-bacterial facewash in order to prevent unwanted bacteria from clogging the pores,” Mathur advices.

SWITCH TO AN OIL-CONTROL, MATTIFYING MOISTURISER

The moisture in the air requires you to switch to a lightweight, oil-control moisturiser to avoid clogged pores and acne, a common concern during monsoons. Opt for a quick absorbing formula for best results.

DON’T’ SKIP SUNSCREEN

Cloudy days might look like a hint to skip your sunscreen ritual, but it’s a big no-no. Even when the sun is not shining bright the UV rays are still harmful enough to cause skin damage. Choose a water-based sunscreen gel to avoid excessive oil secretion.

BLOT. BLOT. BLOT.

Cleansing is significant, but overusing facewash will strip your skin off the natural oils. This will do more harm than good as rough, dehydrated skin is vulnerable to acne. Mathur suggests, “Keep a pack of tissues handy to get rid of excess oil between washes”.
