Monsoon skin care routine tips – Who doesn’t love rain! The magical smell of petrichor and blessed feeling of revival for all forms of life. Monsoon just does not bring respite from the summer, but also brings hope. New life springs in nature during this time of the year. Freshness and greenery in each sight, cleaner air, water, and seasonal delights.
But as much as we love monsoons, it has some adverse effects on our skin and hair too. Monsoon ailments are plenty when it comes to healthcare, today we will be discussing how to be monsoon-ready with some tried and tested skin care products.
Monsoon skin care routine – What is your Skin Type?
The most important thing is to know your skin type. Dry, oily, normal, and combination are the skin types we usually find in the Indian subcontinent. Condition skin (the one with skin issues, like – acne, or pimples) must be dealt with very carefully and under the expert’s supervision only.
Oily skin is prone to acne and breakouts during this time of year. Extra humidity and moisture in the air add to the deposition of sebum (oil glands) in the skin.
Dry skin needs moisturization even in monsoons, but over-conditioning of the skin can also bring problems or make it look dull.
Normal skin is easy to maintain with the right routine.
1. Deep Cleansing – Keep your skin clean with gentle cleansing
Keep skin free of impurities, dirt, and grime always. Cleaning your face with organic face wash or even plain water is a must during hot humid days. Cleaner skin does not allow bacteria to seep into the skin through breakouts or impurities.
Use any good face wash with Salicylic Acid for Oily Skin that is sulfate-free, has acne-fighting qualities, or as advised by a professional healthcare expert. There is nothing better than keeping clear skin during monsoons, but harsh products can do more harm than one can imagine. Hence, use gentle and mild cleansers only.
2. Hydrate – Toning the Facial Skin
Water; Drink plenty of liquids during summer and rainy season. Hydrating the body with herbs or fruits infused with water, green tea also helps in removing toxins from the body. Drinking 8 glasses of water a day is termed as healthy. It helps keep skin and body free from radicals.
For facial skin during any season, hydrating face masks with the goodness of nature and pure ingredients are doing wonders. Korean beauty face masks are the top favorite of everyone today. Have you tried any? Using these face mask sheets is easy and can be used anytime, at any place. Travel-friendly, these face-hydrating sheet masks come in numerous varieties.
Have you tried any facial sheet masks for glowing skin yet? Try, the Mirabelle Fairness facial sheet mask for instant revitalized skin.
3. Don’t forget to Moisturize your skin even on rainy days –
Moisturize skin even when you feel it is not needed. During monsoons, the rains and water give a sense of adequate hydration, however, skin still requires proper hydration and moisturization. Organic and natural moisturization is always highly recommended.
Choose pure and organic water-based lotions when it comes to the skincare routine. Kama Ayurveda face cream suits oily and conditioned skin, it hydrates and keeps skin moisturized for long hours.

4. Scrub and Exfoliate – A must in the monsoon skincare routine
This is indeed necessary for regularizing the new cell generation and removing dead skin cells. There are many mild and skin type-based exfoliates/ scrubs available in the market. Regular exfoliation on the skin helps in removing dead skin and boosts blood circulation for new and healthy cells. Best for sensitive skin, experts recommend using a mild face exfoliation gel which is either water-based or prescribed by a professional.
5. Night Time Skin Routine – Night Cream and Lotion
Day creams are made specifically for daytime, keeping sunlight exposure and other activities in mind. Gone are those days, when one cream or lotion would solve all purposes. Today, with advanced skincare expert knowledge, a plethora of skin care solutions are available in the market.
Night skincare routine comprises products that keep skin hydrated for 8 to 10 hours and do what they are made for – keep skin happy even in your sleep. Kama Ayurveda is known for its natural and 100% pure skin solutions. The Night cream is a perfect solution for skin hydration and rejuvenation during the night time. It works on fine lines, skin firming, and crow’s feet around the eyes and lip line.
These are a few essential monsoon skin care routine tips that I have been practicing lately. The results may vary from skin to skin and from person to person.
