While the monsoon makes you feel good and fresh, the humidity in
the air plays like a killjoy, especially when it comes to our skin and hair.
This is the time when we need to pay little extra attention to our skin and
hair needs.
Here are few tips to keep in mind to look after the skin and
hair:
Make sure to moisturize the skin with non-greasy and non-oily moisturizer
Moisturising is important in all seasons. Your skin needs
moisturization in order to maintain its elasticity. Exposure to the sun and
pollution strips off the natural oils from your skin, causing it to tan and
rapid skin aging. Using the Kumkumadi Tailam can
serve the purpose. This oil is obtained from natural ingredients and it
improves the texture of the skin, moisturize it and improves your complexion.
The best part about this oil is that it is non-sticky, which makes it most
appropriate for monsoon.
Sunscreen is still important
No matter how cloudy it gets, your skin always needs to be
protected from the sun. Using a good sunscreen is a must. Use nothing below SPF
30 and choose for the one which is non-sticky and lightweight. Naturally
formulated sunscreens are simply the best. They are light and give good skin
protection for long time. Re-apply the lotion frequently, especially after
swimming or going out.
Use a soap-free face cleansing foam.
Replace your soap based face cleanser with herbs based Face Cleansing Foam.
This will help you maintain clean and healthy skin without stripping your skin
off its essentials oil. A foam with sandalwood oil can help your skin look
supple and glowing, even on a rainy day
Don’t skip the Toner
Early Toners were mainly used to remove the makeup from the
face. But nowadays the toners are loaded with many other qualities. While in
the monsoon, we tend to sweat a lot, which leads to open pores on the skin.
Using a toner after cleansing can help in shrinking these pores. Invest in an
alcohol-free toner with antioxidant ingredients such as Lemonade with Orange
Peel Facial Toner that will help tighten enlarged
pores, to control blemishes and acne, while removing dead cells.
Haircare
Besides Skin your hair too need little extra care during the
monsoon. This is the time when the roots of the hair become week and your hair
tend to fall more than usual. In such a scenario, it is best to switch to a
herbal shampoo. Moroccan Argan oil shampoo, could be a good
pick of anyone. Argan oil is known for strengthening and smoothing of the hair.
The oil is rich in anti-oxidants and vitamin E, which thickens the hair and
prevents falling of hair.
Make sure that you use gentle products and maintain a simple
skincare routine using sunscreen and toner regularly and incorporating products
filled with natural ingredients to keep your skin and hair protected. Taking
little extra care of yourself can help your skin remain healthy and safe even
during the heavy monsoon so that you enjoy the weather at the fullest without
worrying about your skin and hair.
Happy Monsoon !!
