If there’s anything we’ve learnt about skincare in different seasons, it is consistency and adaptability. Following consistent skincare and haircare steps while adapting your formulas according to the season is key to maintaining your glow. Since the monsoons present a totally different set of beauty woes, there are some measures that have to be taken and maintained if you wish to rise above these issues. Here’s a helpful guide to navigating through the monsoons while following only the best essential grooming steps from H2T.
5 Beauty Steps To Follow Throughout The Rainy Season
Buff & Beautiful
Now is not the time to skip exfoliation. Using a face and body scrub or opting for chemical exfoliators is the best way to ensure your skin is clear this season. Because acne, blackheads, and dull skin threaten all skin types in this weather. Giving yourself a full-body exfoliation once or twice a week is enough to prevent all sorts of blemishes and discolouration.
SPF Is Your BFF
Just because the clouds are out, doesn’t mean you skip sunscreen. SPF is important in all seasons in order to protect skin from sun damage which is very real. In case you find applying sunscreen too much of a hassle opt for a spray-on sunscreen that can be easily applied to your face and body without much effort.
Beauty Tonality
Toners will have your pores in check throughout this humid climate. Since the weather is so damp, bacteria can form much quicker and spread to your skin even though you washed up with cleansers. To ensure your skin is pimple-free, opting for a nature-infused toner – that has antibacterial ingredients like tea tree and rose water, will work wonders for your skin without you having to stress at all.
Shout Out To Scalp Care
Even dandruff is a common concern during the rains. For this reason, putting your focus on scalp care is of utmost importance. Try a hair mask in the monsoon which will treat your scalp too. Applying a nature-infused anti-dandruff hair mask on your scalp and hair lengths will ensure your mane is free of dandruff and frizz-free while minimising grime build-up from leftover products.
Drops The Bomb
Be it for your skin or scalp, using a serum is that extra step you can take which will reap amazing results. Serums are meant to target specific beauty concerns while ensuring pH levels are balanced. So opt for a skincare serum and even a scalp care serum to have blemish-free skin and a dandruff-free mane. For the skin, it is the best time to opt for salicylic acid for blemish control or a hyaluronic acid serum for gentler care. For the scalp, you can either use a leave-in hair growth or use the viral beauty hack of applying glycolic acid toner as a scalp serum before a hair wash, to banish greasiness and dandruff.
Aside from always moisturising your skin, these are the beauty habits that will help you maintain the integrity of your skin and hair throughout this stormy weather.
