Monsoon Skincare Tips

Monsoon is the time where your skin behaves a little strange and is often unstable; suddenly it gets oily or becomes dry and dehydrated. Hence, it is very necessary that you take care of your skin during this season in order to look fresh and beautiful.

Following are a few Skincare tips that you need to follow:

Cleansing

Your skin will need daily cleansing in order to keep it looking fresh and healthy. Follow these home remedies.

Dry Skin: You can use almond paste or honey cleanser. Take ten crushed almonds, make a paste, and add two tablespoon of honey. Massage on face for five to seven minutes, rinse face and pat dry.

Oily Skin: You need a very mild cleanser to get the dead cells and dirt off from the skin. Use pure oatmeal scrub to cleanse oily skin or use ripe papaya pulp as a mild exfoliant.

Toning

Toning is necessary at night. During monsoon, many airborne and waterborne microbes are usually set free. Therefore, a good anti-bacterial toner will go a long way to prevent skin infections and eruptions. It is a good idea to get anti-bacterial face wash too.

You need to mildly, tone a dry skin since the pore size is small. Use five drops chamomile oil in a one tsp milk to tone dry skin and ten drops Lavender oil in one tsp water to tone an oily skin.

Moisturizing

Moisturizing in the monsoon is as essential as it is in summer. Monsoons can lead to a de-moisturizing effect on dry skin and an over-hydrating effect on oily skin. The skin gets wet often and with the constant wetting and drying, a lot of dehydration takes place. That explains the itchy feeling one gets during monsoons. Apply a non-water based moisturizer, if you happen to get wet often. Otherwise a water- based moisturizer will do.

Dry Skin: Take one-tablespoon honey, one-tablespoon fresh curd and one-tablespoon jojoba oil. Mix and apply on your face and neck. Leave it on for 10 minutes and then wash with plenty of water.

Oily and Combination Skin: In two-tablespoon rose water, add two drops of strawberry oil and fresh orange oil. Mix and apply on face and neck for 10 minutes and then wash it off.

In order to keep your skin looking good and beautiful in monsoon, you need to take care.
