Importance of following a Good Monsoon Skincare Routine

 

As the raindrops fall gently, an enchanting melody fills the air, evoking memories, nostalgia, and sheer, unbridled joy. Each raindrop carries a unique story, painting the world with vibrant hues of green and invoking a sense of rejuvenation. The cool, fresh breeze, the distinct fragrance of mud and a comforting hot cup of chai, is just the therapy you need.

Rains give us relief from that intense heat, dust, dirt, and the stifling levels of humidity, that summers bombard us with. They offer us a refreshing respite. The lush greenery and revitalizing atmosphere that envelops us during this time serve as a much-needed break following the extended summer period. While it may seem, exactly what the doctor ordered; soon it’s time for that reality check. The water logging, power cuts, heaps of soaked laundry and the various skin and hair issues.

While rains may seem like a life raft for your soul, they are not your skin’s best friend. The increased moisture in the air during the monsoon season results in elevated humidity levels, leading to oily skin. This, in turn, can result in the comeback of acne, blackheads, especially on the notorious T zone. For individuals already struggling with oily skin, the monsoon season can be particularly challenging. It is widely known that transitioning between seasons necessitates a shift in skincare products.

Let’s explore the recommended skincare routine for maintaining a radiant and smooth complexion, this monsoons.

 

●      CLEANSING: During the monsoon season, cleansing your face using a good herbal face wash is extremely essential to maintain healthy and radiant skin. The increased humidity and moisture in the air during this time can lead to various skin concerns, making it crucial to maintain a healthy skin care routine. Herbal face washes contain natural ingredients that effectively remove dirt, grime, and excess oil from the skin. The monsoon season often brings along increased oil production, leading to clogged pores and acne breakouts. Using a herbal face wash helps cleanse the pores thoroughly, preventing the accumulation of dirt and bacteria, and reducing the likelihood of acne. Herbal face washes are infused with botanical extracts known for their healing and soothing properties. Ingredients like Aloe Vera, Neem, and Tea Tree oil have antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help combat skin infections and soothe any existing irritation or redness caused by the humid weather.

●      TONING: In the monsoon season, toning your face with an effective herbal face toner becomes essential for several reasons. The increased humidity during this time can lead to excessive oil production, clogged pores, and breakouts. Using a herbal face toner helps to restore the pH balance of your skin, tightens pores, and controls oil secretion, thus preventing acne and other skin issues. The monsoon also brings along a lot of environmental pollutants and impurities that can settle on your skin. A herbal face toner acts as a natural cleanser, removing dirt, grime, and pollutants from your face, thereby keeping it clean and fresh. It helps to purify your skin and eliminates any residue that may have been left behind after cleansing.

●      MOISTURIZING: During monsoons, the humidity in the air can lead to excessive oil production on the skin, making it prone to breakouts. A herbal face moisturizer helps maintain the balance of natural oils, preventing your skin from becoming too oily or too dry. The natural ingredients in herbal moisturizers have nourishing properties that hydrate and rejuvenate your skin, ensuring a healthy glow. Moisturizers also provide a protective barrier against environmental pollutants and toxins, preventing damage and reducing the risk of infections. A good herbal face moisturizer can improve your skin texture and elasticity, keeping it supple and youthful. So, skipping this essential step in your daily skin care routine may be a bad idea.

●      EXFOLIATION: The high humidity levels and moisture in the air during monsoons can lead to a buildup of dead skin cells, dirt, and oil on the surface of your face. By incorporating exfoliation into your skincare routine, you can effectively remove these impurities and unclog your pores. Herbal exfoliators offer a natural and gentle way to slough off dead skin cells without causing irritation or harm to your skin. They contain ingredients derived from plants such as Neem, Tulsi or Aloe Vera, which have soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. These natural ingredients help to cleanse and purify your skin, preventing breakouts and keeping it clear and healthy. By removing the layer of dead skin cells, your skin becomes more receptive to the benefits of moisturizers, serums, and other treatments, allowing these products to penetrate deeper into the skin, maximizing their effectiveness and providing better hydration.

●      SUNSCREEN: Using sunscreen on your face is crucial during the monsoon season for several reasons. The monsoon brings along cloudy and overcast days, which may give a false sense of security about sun exposure. However, harmful UV rays can penetrate through the clouds and still cause damage to your skin. Applying sunscreen acts as a protective shield, blocking these harmful rays and preventing sunburns, premature ageing, and even skin cancer. The monsoon often brings along unpredictable weather changes, including sudden bursts of sunshine between rain showers. These intermittent exposures to the sun can be particularly harmful to the delicate skin on your face. By applying sunscreen regularly, you ensure that your skin is protected at all times, regardless of the weather conditions.

●      HYDRATE: Although we are constantly surrounded by rain during monsoons, the cool weather often makes us forget to have our daily quota of H2O. The increased humidity and frequent rainfall during monsoons can lead to excessive sweating, which causes water loss from the body. By replenishing lost fluids, hydrating essentials such as water, herbal teas, and fresh juices can help prevent dehydration. Staying hydrated in the monsoon also helps boost immunity and let’s not forget the miracles it does for our skin.

Following these simple steps, can be quite a game changer for your skin, this monsoons. So, arm yourselves with these herbal skin care products, sit back and watch the rain trickle down with the confidence of good skin.
