Let's wave goodbye to all that monsoon gloom with these easy tips to come back even prettier!
The monsoon is on its way out, and we're super excited about the upcoming festive season! That long and muggy rainy season did a number on our skin, leaving it feeling tired and cranky, and not looking its best. The humidity during the monsoon, coupled with all that rain, wreaked havoc on our skin's overall appearance. Also, with all those waterborne viruses going around during the monsoon, our immune systems took a hit, and our skin suffered too!
All in all, the monsoon wasn't the best friend for our skin. But now that the sun is back in full force and the weather is getting drier, it's high time we invest some time and dime into bringing our skin back to life! Let's get ready for the festivities with a big smile and some seriously revitalized skin!
Let's kickstart our skin-saving journey with some good old-fashioned cleansing! Cleaning your skin twice a day is the best way to bid adieu to all that dirt and pollution. The monsoon has this knack for making our skin look a bit lackluster, and those raindrops can sometimes invite unwanted breakouts. So, pick a gentle cleanser that suits your skin and make it a ritual to wash in the morning and when you get back home at night. Rinsing it off with lukewarm water does wonders for washing away all the gunk. Just remember not to go overboard with cleansing; too much can leave your skin super dry and upset the skin's protective barriers.
During the monsoon, it's the pesky humidity that's the main troublemaker. It's the reason our skin can look a bit lacklustre and why those breakouts pay us a visit. When we get breakouts, we tend to wash our faces more, which can lead to some serious dryness. Also, let's not forget about all that extra sweat thanks to the humidity, which makes our faces a magnet for all sorts of pollutants!
That's where the skin-saving routine comes in handy: after a good cleansing, it's time for some moisturizing action. Look for a moisturizer that has peptides and ceramides in it. You might have already heard about the superstar ceramide in Alia's skincare routine video! There are plenty of budget-friendly and fancy options out there. The key is to focus on what's inside, not just the price tag! Apply it twice daily, and your skin will be absolutely thrilled!
Now that we're in the post-monsoon phase, the sun is shining brighter than ever! But remember, you shouldn't have skipped sunscreen during the monsoon either! You know the drill, right? Sunscreen is your best friend whenever you step outside. Make sure to apply it 15 minutes before heading out so it has time to create that protective shield and keep you safe from the sun's rays!
Every season has its own unique charm and magic. While the monsoon is celebrated for its romance, it does come with its drawbacks. But that's life, isn't it? Nothing can be absolutely perfect! We can address the skin issues caused by the monsoon with some thoughtful planning and a diligent skincare routine in the post-monsoon period. By following these tips and soaking yourself in the natural healing benefits of the season, you can come out looking brighter than ever. That's a guarantee!
