HEY GUYS,
It’s me Prachi here and I am back
with some more self-care tips for both men & women this monsoon.
So people the rainy season has begun throughout the country
and don’t we all love that fresh and refreshing showers after such hot summer
days. The only problem is that, with the onset of monsoon comes hair and skin
related issues. But not to worry this time because here I am with some tips and
tricks that will be beneficial for you so that you can enjoy this lovely
weather without any worries. Without further a-do let’s begin…
SKINCARE
For
people with oily skin –
- Regularly
washing your face with water or oil removal facewash 2 to 3 times a day will
make you feel fresh and remove excess oil that accumulates in the T-zone of the
face. Some facewash for oily skin type are Neutrogena deep clean facial
cleanser, WOW apple cider vinegar foaming facewash, Nivea milk delight
facewash, Himalaya herbal oil clear facewash etc.
- Scrubbing
is best for oily skin to cleanse the pores. Biotique bio walnut scrub, Nivea
skin refining scrub, MCaffeine coffee face scrub, Khadi natural face scrub are
some amazing products.
- A
myth prevails that during rainy season the skin is already damp so you need not
moisturize it but it’s not true. Humidity too can affect skin and hence it
advised to apply moisturizer daily. For oily skin water-based moisturizers are
best. Mama earth oil-free face moisturizer, Lakme absolute skin gloss gel,
Ponds super light gel oil free moisturizer are some products you can use.
- Good
sunscreen is a must. Even though the weather is cloudy, harmful UV rays can
still harm your skin. Try to buy sunscreen with SPF 30 and above. Plum grapeseed
&sea buckthorn light sunscreen, Mama earth hydrogel, Lakme sun expert ultra-matte,
Lotus herbals safe sun are some good sunscreen products for people with oily
skin.
- Acne
breakouts are very common during monsoon. Try not to prick your pimple as it
can spread to other areas too. I would suggest you to avoid touching them also.
Use salicylic acid-based products for reducing acnes and lesions.
For
people with dry skin –
- The
humid weather is good for people with dry skin but they should keep exfoliating
their skin so that it doesn’t look dull. Mild facewash and scrubs are suggested
and try to gently exfoliate or scrub. Biotique bio honey gel facewash, Plum
hello aloe facewash, Everyuth Naturals moisturizing fruit facewash, Pears ultra-mild
facewash are some products that you can use.
- People
may have dry white patches so intense moisturization is required. I personally
prefer Nivea soft moisturizer are best for people with dry skin. Other
moisturizers that you can use are Plum green tea moisturizer, Cetaphil daily
advance hydrating lotion, Lakme 9 to 5 aloe aqua gel, etc.
- Keeping
skin hydrated makes it look fresh so try to use hydrating serums and other hydrating
products. Also take care of your skin’s pH.
SKINCARE
ROUTINE PROTIPS –
· Minimal use of makeup during rainy
season is good. Allow your skin to breathe.
· Moisturize your skin properly. Aloe
vera gel is suited for all skin types.
· The skin around eyes are sensitive so
that need more care. Apply under eye gel or serum for better results.
· While thinking about our skin we
often forget about lip care. Scrubbing lips to remove dead skin help in
preventing chapped lips. Also apply lip balm/gloss for keeping them shiny and
plump.
· Use products only according to your
skin type.
· Don’t skip toner as it helps in
shrinking open pores. Try to use alcohol free toners.
· Always remove your makeup before
going to bed. Use mild facewash and then apply rosewater at night before going
to bed. It helps your skin by hydrating it.

HAIRCARE
We all know
that during rain our hair gets affected the most. They turn dull and get all
frizzy. The three evils during monsoon are dandruff, oily scalp and hair fall.
Nobody likes hair fall but the dandruff during this time causes itching and
hence hair fall. Due to oily scalp the dirt sticks easily which makes our hair
dirty so frequently. Also never use towel to dry your damp hair else they will
turn frizzy, let them dry on their own it won’t take much time.
HAIRCARE PROTIPS –
- Always and always wash your hair after
getting drenched as it may cause the growth of lice in your hair. Hair wash 2
times a week is suggested.
- Use wide toothed comb for detangling hair. It
will help in reducing hair fall. Never brush wet hair, allow them to dry
naturally then only comb.
- Try to use hair dryers as less as possible
for their regular use may cause split ends.
- Use gentle and paraben free shampoo. You can
use Himalaya gentle daily care shampoo, Mama earth argan oil shampoo, Sunsilk
coconut water and aloe vera shampoo, Tresemme botanique nourish shampoo etc. I
would personally suggest Bare Anatomy’s personalized shampoo, conditioner and
serum. They are made particularly according to your hair type.
- Conditioner is a must in rainy season. Also
use serum to avoid frizz.
- While oiling, take in concern that you don’t
rigorously massage as it will cause more hair fall.
- Use less oil and massage it through the scalp
with the help of your fingertips. You can add vitamin E capsules to the oil
according to the length of your hair. (1= for short to medium hair & 2 =
long hair)
