5 Monsoon Skincare Tips That Will Keep You Going Through The Season – News18

The monsoon season offers a welcome break from the hot weather and brings refreshing showers. However, the increased humidity and dampness can present unique challenges for our skin. To ensure proper care during this seasonal change, it’s important to make small adjustments to your routine. Plus monsoon is one such time when you need to show your skin the extra love and care that it truly deserves.

Here are some super easy tips to help you and your skin stay healthy and radiant throughout the rainy season-

1. Always Prioritise Cleansing and Thorough Drying
   During the monsoon, it becomes even more crucial to keep your skin clean and dry. No matter what part of the country you are from, make sure to cleanse your face and body regularly. The rainy environment carries with it air filled with germs and dirt. Therefore, it becomes crucial to remove these harmful elements from your skin. A suitable face wash and body wash are sufficient to successfully help the cause.
2. Try Out Naturally Fruity Fresh Fragrances For The Body
   Monsoons call for a peak in humidity, and this means adding more refreshing solutions to your care routine. Fruits and nut-infused products are a great way to amp up the freshness and add more fun to your routine. One area where you can make a simple yet delightful switch is your shower gel. The naturally refreshing scents of fragrant shower gels can enhance your bathing experience, make shower time enjoyable and add a touch of luxury to your daily self-care routine. An easy way to upgrade your shower regimen and soak in the goodness of nature’s bounty is by adding the all-new NIVEA Fresh Blends Shower Gel to your bathroom shelf.  Make every shower fruit full with two variants to choose from – one infused with raspberry, blueberry, and almond milk for beautiful, dewy skin and the other enriched with apricot, mango and rice milk for soft and supple skin.
3. Remember To Exfoliate The Dirt Off
   Exfoliation is very helpful to get rid of dead skin cells and the dirt that may have accumulated on the skin. However, avoid using harsh scrubs that can irritate your skin and instead opt for gentle exfoliants containing natural ingredients like fruits or plant-based extracts. The key is to exfoliate in moderation – limiting the ritual to once or twice a week.
4. SPF Is Absolutely Non-Negotiable
   If you think sunscreen is only necessary during the summer, think again! Rain or shine, sunscreen is a must-add to your daily routine to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. Even on cloudy days, UV light can penetrate clouds and cause damage. Apply sunscreen, preferably with SPF higher than 30 at least 15 minutes before stepping out to keep your skin safe and healthy.
5. Moisturise Your Skin For Hydration
   While the increased moisture in the air during the monsoon might make you believe that moisturizing is unnecessary, it is even more crucial to maintain proper hydration for your skin. Don’t make the mistake of skipping this step in your skincare routine, instead, opt for a non-sticky, water-based body lotion that quickly absorbs into the skin – leaving it feeling nourished without any sticky residue.

Last but not least, tailor your care routine to suit your skin type, ensure an ample intake of water and indulge in nutrition-rich fruits.
