Enjoying the treats that monsoon brings with beautiful change in the weather and temperatures going down, yet the most annoying thing to deal with are numerous skin issues that pop up. Whether you have oily skin or acne prone skin there are some common issues that are faced by everyone. So, here are top common monsoon skin concerns that I frequently get asked by the users.
Top 5 Monsoon Concerns
1. How to manage acne prone skin?
- Using products that balance the sebum level on your skin, purifying the pores and acting as a preventive layer would indeed help you manage your acne prone skin.
- Using an oil balance and control skin gel like Oops Acne Control All Day Gel will ensure that your acne prone skin will secrete less sebum without making it dry.
2. My skin begins to itch during monsoons, tell me why?
- Itching is attributed to the humidity levels in the air; however, other reasons can be bacterial or fungal infections due to excessive sweating.
- Keeping your skin dry is essential to prevent further skin irritation. Ensure using skin products that mattify your skin without disrupting the natural oil balance.
- Best practice is to cleanse your face with an herbal cleanser like, Tulsi Neem Face Wash that helps in maintaining the right oil balance and controls excessive skin oiliness.
- I recommend using Shahnaz Husain Shasilk Plus – Matte Moisturiser, it not only moisturises the skin, but provides a mattifying effect, keeping the skin dry and promotes smooth texture.
- Oiliness of the skin can also be countered by using skin blotting papers.
3. Which facial should I go for during monsoons?
- The best that you can opt for is a facial with natural ingredients, that not only hydrate the skin but also helps detoxifying it at the same time.
- Use 5 Step Mixed Fruit Facial Kit that is designed with fruit extracts acting as rehydrants, helping in restoring natural beauty of the skin and revitalize the skin giving it a refreshing appearance is perfect for monsoons.
4. I am experiencing open pores during monsoons, why?
- Your skin is experiencing what is called as monsoon skin issue, it is a breeding ground for dirt & grime leading to black heads and white heads formation.
- First step is cleansing your face regularly with a mild herbal cleanser like Shahnaz Husain Shazema Plus – Herbal Cleanser For Oily / Problem Skin to purify your pores.
- Next use a mild scrub like Shascrub Plus – Walnut Face & Body Scrub to help dislodge and remove black and white heads. Scrub twice a week for oily skin but only once a week if you have sensitive or dry skin.
5. Which face mask shall I use during this monsoon season?
- Use a DIY home remedy, using fullers earth (Multani mitti).
- In a bowl make a paste of 1 teaspoon fullers earth+ a pinch of Turmeric powder+ 1 tablespoon of milk and mix these well.
- Apply it all over your face and neck, leave it on to dry off, then rinse off using cool water.
