The monsoon season not only brings refreshing downpours but also many challenges for the skin. From excess oil to clogged pores and fungal infections, the increased humidity in the skin can lead to a range of skin issues. To help you navigate this seasonal shift, we've turned to skin expert and co-founder of Indus Valley Cosmetics, Dr Harinder Kaur Arya, for insights on how to protect your skin and incorporate natural skin remedies during the rainy season.
Natural skin remedies During the monsoon season, increased humidity can make skin feel tacky and uncomfortable. Natural remedies such as yogurt, honey, grape seed extract, and rose water help alleviate this feeling while promoting a healthy and radiant complexion. Both oily and normal skin can suffer from excess humidity, leading to clogged pores and breakouts.
Incorporating natural ingredients into your skincare routine can help eliminate these skin problems and a maintain healthy skin. To prevent monsoon skin damage, Dr Kaur suggested, "Wash your face regularly with a gentle cleanser and use a face pack containing sandalwood and multani mitti twice a week to absorb excess oil and cleanse pores deeply. Additionally, use rose water or cucumber water/toner daily to balance the skin's pH, reduce excess sebum, and prevent pore blockage.
