Steps for Kissable Skin Even In Monsoon
Cleansing – Skin becomes extremely prone to dirt and dust this season and thus calls for regular cleaning. It is always good to keep water-based cleanser and use it on regular intervals. After rinsing the face with cold water apply cleansing lotion for 2-3 minutes removing it with cotton.
Toning – to reduce oiliness, toning at night is a must. In the rainy season, a lot of airborne and waterborne microbes are let lose, so a good anti-bacterial toner will go a long way in preventing skin infection and eruptions. It is a good idea to get an anti-bacterial face wash too. Rose water is one of the best toner available and can be used on all types of skin.
Moisturizing – Moisturizing in monsoon is as important as it is in summer. Due to frequent exposure to the rain,the skin tends to get dry and dehydrated. That explains the itchy feeling one gets during this season. Use a non water-based moisturizer to cure the problem. The Body Shop Atlas Mountain Rose Body Lotion Review and Price
Apart from itchiness, the skin also tends to become either very dry and prone to acne or very oily,hence attracting dirt and pollutants. Those with are acne prone skin should opt for water based moisturizer. Mineral based and waterproof make-up can be a great alternative for women with acne prone skin.
Keep it dry – The most common ailment during the monsoon is fungal infection, the most common area being the armpits, groin areas, feet and breasts. The best way is to try to keep yourself dry. Always carry an extra set of dress and shoes if you plan to enjoy the monsoon shower.
