SKIN CLEANSING ROUTINE DURING MONSOON

Cleansing:
Skin becomes extremely prone to dirt and dust in this season and thus calls for regular cleaning. It's always good to keep a water-based cleanser handy and use it at regular inter­vals. After rinsing the face with cold water, apply cleansing lotion and leave it for 2-3 minutes, removing it with cotton.


Toning:
To reduce oiliness, toning at night is a must. There are many airborne and waterborne microbes are present in the rainy season, and for that a good anti-bacterial toner can help in preventing skin infections and eruptions. It is a good idea to get an anti-bacte­rial face wash, too. Rose water is one of the most natural and best toners available and can be used on all types of skin.

Moisturising:
Moisturising in the monsoon is as important as it is in summers. Due to frequent exposure to the rains, the skin tends to get dry and dehydrated. Which makes you feel itchy during this season. Use a non-water based moisturiser to cure the problem.
Apart from itchiness, the skin also tends to become either very dry or prone to acne or very oily, hence attracting dirt and pollutants. Those with acne-prone skin should opt for a water-based moisturiser. Mineral-based and waterproof make-up can be a ' great alternative for women with acne-prone skin.
