12 Monsoon Skin Care Tips To Keep Your Skin Glowing

Monsoon is a mesmerizing season, but it also brings the added humidity, sweat, and pollution that create many skin issues for us! It could lead to more pimples, dullness, oily skin, and infections. Our skin becomes even more sensitive during the rains and requires extra care. 

So, to help you enjoy the rains worrying about your skin, we have written down 12 simple and easy monsoon skin care tips that will help you make sure your skin is glowing, healthy, and fresh.

12 Monsoon Skin Care Tips To Keep Your Skin Glowing

1. Cleanse Thoroughly and Gently

In the rainy season, grime, oil, and sweat may cause your face to become dirtier than usual. During the rainy season, not properly cleaning your skin can clog your pores and lead to acne or blackheads. 

What to do:

Clean your face two times a day, in the morning and at night, with a gentle face wash. Use a soap-free or a salicylic acid cleaner. These products will help cleanse your skin and not dry it out.

This will wash away dirt and oil from your skin while keeping your skin's natural moisture.

2. Exfoliate Regularly, But Gently

During the rainy season, dead skin cells can accumulate quickly, making your skin look dull. Exfoliation effectively removes dead skin cells and unclogs blocked pores. without 

What to do:

Use a gentle scrub or mild chemical exfoliant (like glycolic acid or salicylic acid) once or twice a week, and remember to be gentle while scrubbing.

Avoid harsher scrubs with big particles; these can irritate your skin and cause redness.

3. Use a Lightweight Moisturizer

Even if it feels sticky outside, you still need hydration for your skin. Skipping your moisturizer can make your skin feel drier or produce more oil. 

So here's what you should do: 

Choose a lightweight, oil-free, and non-comedogenic moisturizer. These products will provide hydration for your skin while ensuring your pores don't clog. 

• If you have oily skin, look for a gel-based moisturizer. 
• If you have dry skin, choose a hydrating cream.

4. Don't Forget Sunscreen

Even on cloudy days, clouds may block the sun, but UV rays still reach your skin and can cause damage, which can cause tanning, aging, or sunburn. 

What to do:

• Apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or more daily, even when it's cloudy. Choose a gel-based or matte-finish sunscreen if your skin tends to get oily.
• Reapply if you are outside for a long time or it is raining.

5. Use a Toner to Control Oil

Monsoon humidity can cause the skin to feel tacky and pores to look larger. 

What to do: 

After washing your face, apply an alcohol-free toner. Toners can help: 

• Shrink enlarged pores 
• Balance skin pH 
• Control excess oil 

For best results, look for toners containing rose water, green tea, or witch hazel.

6. Keep Makeup Light and Simple

Heavy makeup in the monsoon can clog your pores, melt in the humidity, and lead to breakouts. 

What to do: 

Use light, waterproof makeup. Try BB Creams, tinted moisturizers, and waterproof mascara or eyeliner. 

Always apply primer before makeup to help it stay on longer so it does not cling or drip.

7. Remove Makeup Properly

It's important to remove your makeup at night because it damages the skin and can lead to pimples or infections - particularly during the rainy season. 

What to do:

You should always remove your makeup utilizing micellar water or a gentle makeup remover. Then, you should cleanse your face with your usual cleansing agent. 

This will ensure your skin stays clean and allows it to breathe.

8. Use Clay or Charcoal Face Masks

Your skin will produce more oil in the rainy season, and oil can clog pores. 

What you can do: Use a clay mask or charcoal mask once or twice a week. Clay masks and charcoal masks are helpful because they will do the following: 

• Absorb excess oil 
• Clean pores 
• Remove dirt and pollution 

If the mask is meant to dry, let it dry and rinse with cool water!

9. Add an Antioxidant Serum

Pollution and weather changes during monsoon can cause your skin to look dull and tired.

Here's what to do:

Utilize a serum with antioxidants like Vitamin C or Niacinamide. These serums:

• Brighten your skin
• Eliminate free radicals
• Even skin tone

For better efficacy, apply it before applying moisturizer.

10. Drink Water and Eat Fresh

Good skin habits begin inside the body. Drinking less water during monsoon weather is common, but remember that you need water for healthy, glowing skin.

What you should do:

Drink at least 2 or 3 liters of water every day and eat foods that are rich in:

• Fruits and vegetables
• Vitamin C (oranges, kiwi)
• Antioxidants (berries, spinach)
• Omega-3 fats (flaxseed, walnuts)

Try not to have anything too greasy or junky.

11. Take Care of Your Lips

Humidity can dry out your lips or make them flaky.

What to do:

Apply a hydrating lip balm regularly. Avoid licking or biting your lips, as this can make them worse.

Exfoliate your lips once a week using a mixture of honey and sugar.

12. Follow Skin Care According to Your Skin Type

Each skin type has different needs, especially during monsoon.

Oily Skin:

• Use an oil-control face wash
• Apply gel moisturizers
• Exfoliate regularly to avoid clogged pores

Dry Skin:

• Use creamy face washes
• Apply thick moisturizers
• Avoid over-exfoliating

Combination Skin:

• Use a gentle cleanser
• Apply toner to the T-zone
• Use lightweight moisturizer

Sensitive Skin:

• Use fragrance-free, gentle products
• Do a patch test before trying anything new
• Avoid alcohol-based products
