Come check out our suggestions to help you adapt your skincare routine for the Monsoon season; End goal: healthy and glowing skin!
A non-negotiable cleansing routine
The Monsoon humidity invites excess sweat and oil production that can eventually result in clogged pores and breakouts. That’s why cleansing your face is a crucial step because the first step to healthy and glowing skin is clean skin. The D Wave cleanser can be your go-to as it detoxifies and exfoliates your skin without stripping your skin of its natural moisture. Further, cleansing ought to be accompanied by a toner that refreshes your skin, tightens pores and regulates oil production.
Do not skip the moisturiser
Every skincare routine will have its contradictions and this is the biggest one for the Monsoon season. Considering the weather already brings with it excess moisture, you tend to skip this step. But the truth is: that your skin always needs moisture! And that is why you opt for a lightweight non-comedogenic moisturizer that boosts hydration without the excess oil.
Do you need sunscreen during the Monsoon season?
Well, yes! Cloudy skies can still allow harmful UV rays to penetrate your skin. Try to choose a water-resistant formula if you are caught in the rain or plan to be outdoors.
Night-Time Routine
If you want to prevent breakouts and infections during this weather, it is essential to go to bed with squeaky, clean skin, always make sure to remove your makeup thoroughly at the end of the day. Also, you may incorporate a night-repairing cream that will renew and replenish your skin whilst protecting your skin against environmental aggressors – dust, moisture, and pollution.
Hydration and Nutrition
The rainy weather calls for bhajiyas and chai; a treat one must enjoy in this weather. However, it is best to keep track of your intake of oily food as it can be a contributor to excess oil on the skin. The increased humidity might make you feel less thirsty, but it is important to stay hydrated as it helps flush out toxins and keeps your skin supple and radiant.
Keep oily scalp at bay
An oily scalp can just as much contribute to clogged pores and breakouts. Along with keeping your skin clean, fresh, and hydrated, you need to focus on keeping your scalp clean and fresh as well!
Treat your skin to masks
Hydrating and clarifying masks are a great way to keep your skin clean, regulate oil production and lock in moisture. Sheet masks, clay masks, and gel masks can address different skin concerns and provide an extra boost of hydration or oil control. Choose a mask that suits your skin type and needs.
While The D Wave has listed down suggestions, one sure shot way to protect and maintain your skin’s glow is to make sure to use non-comedogenic products; they prevent clogging of pores which is a major hassle in this weather. Light-weight, water-resistant products are the way to go!
Embracing the monsoon does not mean sacrificing your skincare routine. It is about making the necessary tweaks to your routine so that your skin continues looking its best! With the right products and practices, you can enjoy the rain while maintaining a radiant, healthy complexion.
