UNDERSTANDING MONSOON'S IMPACT ON SKIN AND HAIR

The monsoon's high humidity and wet conditions increase the chances of bacterial and fungal growth on the skin and scalp. This can lead to problems such as:

Skin Issues: Acne, fungal infections like ringworm and athlete's foot, and increased oiliness causing clogged pores.

Hair Problems: Dandruff, scalp infections, hair fall, and frizz due to excessive moisture and fungal growth.

Knowing these challenges, it becomes essential to adopt a consistent skincare and haircare routine that protects against these problems.

Skin Care Tips for the Monsoon Season

Keep Your Skin Clean and Dry

Monsoon humidity can cause excessive sweating, leading to clogged pores and breakouts. Cleanse your face twice a day with a gentle, oil-free cleanser to remove dirt, sweat, and excess oil. Avoid using harsh soaps that strip the skin of its natural oils.

Exfoliate Regularly

Dead skin cells combined with moisture can clog pores and cause dullness. Use a mild exfoliator once or twice a week to slough off dead skin and keep your complexion bright. Be gentle to avoid irritation.
