Monsoon season brings a much-needed respite from the harsh summer heat. However, this season also brings high humidity levels, frequent rains, and increased moisture in the air, which can significantly affect our skin. The excess humidity can lead to various skin issues such as acne, fungal infections, and dullness. So, it is essential to adjust our skincare routine to address these specific challenges.
Here are some monsoon special skincare tips to help maintain healthy, glowing skin during the rainy season.

‘Monsoon Special’ Skincare Tips

1. Combat Humidity with Proper Cleansing:

Use a gentle cleanser like Deyga’s Oat Milk Cleanser to remove dirt and excess oil without stripping the skin of its natural moisture.
Cleansing twice a day helps prevent clogged pores and breakouts, which are common due to increased humidity.

2. Exfoliate to Prevent Congestion:

With increased humidity there’s increased chances of unwanted acne! Exfoliate your skin once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells and prevent clogged pores.
Choose a mild scrub to avoid irritation, as excessive exfoliation can damage the skin barrier, making it more susceptible to infections.

3. Hydrate Without Heavy Layers:

Use a lightweight, non-greasy moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated without making it feel oily.
Opt for gel-based or water-based moisturizers like Deyga’s Light Moisturising Cream for better hydration.

4. Rain or Shine, Use Sunscreen:

Don’t think cloudy weather can save you some sunscreen! UV rays can penetrate through clouds, so using sunscreen is crucial even on cloudy days.
Opt for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

5. Stay Dry to Avoid Infections:

High humidity and rain can lead to fungal infections, especially in areas like between the toes and skin folds.

Keep your skin dry by using body powder in those areas, wear breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics and change out of wet clothes promptly to prevent fungal infections.

6. Tone Up to Control Oil:

Toners help in balancing the skin’s pH and control excess oil, which can be a problem during the monsoon.
Choose alcohol-free toners with natural ingredients like rose water or green tea to refresh and soothe your skin. You can check out the product section to get yourself a natural toner suitable for your skin type!

7. Go Light on Makeup:

Be careful with this one!! Heavy makeup can clog pores and lead to breakouts in humid weather.
Use minimal, waterproof makeup to avoid smudging and clogging, and let your skin breathe. Also, make sure your make up tools are cleansed properly! Infections get to you real quick in this season.

8. Keep Hydrated Inside and Out:

The weather is going to take a notch down on temperature but don’t you take it down when it comes to your water intake! Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated.
Aim for at least 8 glasses of water a day to flush out toxins and maintain healthy skin.

9. Eat Right for Skin Health:

Include antioxidant-rich foods such as fruits and vegetables in your diet to fight free radicals and maintain a healthy glow.
Avoid oily and spicy foods that can trigger breakouts and skin issues.

10. Maintain Hygiene to Prevent Breakouts:

Change pillowcases and towels regularly to prevent bacterial build-up, which can cause acne and infections.
Avoid touching your face frequently to minimize the transfer of bacteria and dirt to your skin.

11. Use Light Serums for Extra Care:

This one’s optional but you can incorporate lightweight serums with skin enhancing vitamins to combat dullness and pigmentation, which can be aggravated during the monsoon. Deyga’s Beautifying Serum has goodness of many natural ingredients loaded in it!
These ingredients help brighten the skin and reduce the appearance of spots without including actives in the game, hence, being perfect for even the most sensitive skin types.

12. Opt for Lukewarm Showers:

Hot showers can strip your skin of natural oils, making it more vulnerable to dryness and infections.
Use lukewarm water to keep your skin’s moisture barrier intact and prevent excessive dryness.
