As the weather gets unpredictable and humidity levels rise, your skin finds it difficult to adjust to the changes and maintain its glow. A good monsoon skincare routine should be followed to combat this.
As we head toward the office, the increased exposure to sunlight and sudden showers usually lead to dry and irritated skin, acne breakouts, tanning, sunburns, inflammation etc among others. Therefore, it becomes very important to tackle these itchy problems as they can lead to serious skin diseases and cause prolonged skin damage too.
Here are some simple solutions to all of your skin problems term to weather change:-
Dry irritated skin:-
The sun is excellent at draining moisture away from surfaces, including our skin. This is why, after spending time in the sun, our skin often feels dry and itchy. To prevent the drying effects of the sun, use a non-oily, non-sweaty moisturizer. You may also use it in combination with a moderate cooling cleaner.
Acne breakouts:-
Oily and sweaty skin prepares the ground for acne and pimples to flourish upon. When you touch your sweaty face, germs and bacteria get attached to it, and as the pores are open at the same time, these toxins will close the pores and get stuck inside, thereby causing acne. Acne can be healed by keeping the skin clean at a regular interval. Carry your face wash with yourself at all times and give it a brief wash at least three times a day or whenever you feel it needs.
Suntan:-
We face this problem usually round the year. Constant sun exposure, which is more common across seasons, causes the skin to tan more easily. To keep your skin safe from tanning, try to stay away from the sun as much as possible. Sunscreen is essential and Vitamin C-infused products may be added to your skincare routine to provide all-around UV and Infrared protection.
Oily skin:-
Increased temperatures come with greater humidity and this further increases oil production from your skin’s oily glands giving you a wanted shiny look and breakouts. If not taken care of your oily skin, and your pores may become clogged and enlarge, thus resulting in the accumulation of dead cells. Cleanse your skin not more than thrice a day, excessive cleansing losses the much-needed moisture, keep applying moisturizer at regular intervals. This process should suffice from getting the skin too oily. The use of non-comedogenic water-based makeup can also help if you possess oily skin. Though oily skin is the main problem in the humid rainy season, some people feel dry and dehydrated skin in the rainy season, especially those with already dry skin. In such cases, frequent moisturizers can be applied.
Heat rashes:-
Clogged sweat glands prevent the evaporation of sweat from the body which causes tiny itchy bumps on the skin leading to a rash. Many people experience a prickly sensation on their skin when the bumps rupture and leak sweat. Wear lightweight, loose-fitting cotton clothes. Keep yourself clean and take bath using anti-bacterial soap which ultimately will help you to overcome heat rashes issues.
