The monsoon season has finally arrived in India, giving us a relief from the burning summer heat. But along the freshness comes various skin problems like acne, fungal infection, and ofcourse the dullness. To keep that skin healthy, happy, and glowing during the monsoon season, it is necessary to maintain a skin care routine.
But before diving into a solution, let’s see why does your skin suffers in the monsoon.
Why Does Monsoon Mess with the Skin?
Firstly, let's see why does your skin act up so much during the monsoon? The increased humidity during monsoon makes the skin produce more oil, which leads to clogged pores and breakouts. This constant dampness also causes fungal infections in some people. On top of that, your skin can either get too dry or too oily, depending on what your skin type is. And yes, let’s not forget the dullness from all the grime and sweat. You are nodding, aren’t you? But don’t worry, we’ve got a solution for you!
Solution: Have a good skincare routine
Taking care of the skin is very important during the monsoon. This keeps your skin clean, hydrated, and healthy. And Aroma Care products help you do exactly that. Aroma Care products are loaded with natural ingredients and essential oils that keeps the skin nourished. These products will not only help you balance the oil production but also fight infections, keeping your skin a healthy glow.
Now let’s see how to use them:
1. Cleansing:
Cleansing your skin thoroughly is very important to get rid of all the dirt and oils that clog your pores. Opt for a mild and natural cleanser that has antibacterial properties which keeps the skin clean and fresh. Aroma Care’s foaming face wash is a great option, as it also has a brush with mild bristles to clean your face properly. The face wash is available in four variants, i.e. whiting, anti ageing, anti acne, and vitamin c, you can choose one to address your concern.
2. Toning:
Next step is to tone. Toning is one of the essential steps when it comes to balancing your skin’s pH level and controlling the excess oil production. Opt for an alcohol-free toner that has natural ingredients and can help you soothe your skin. Rose water, witch hazel, and lavender are great as they help tighten the pores while keeping your skin smooth and clear.
3. Moisturising:
Although it is humid outside, your skin still needs to be hydrated and moisturised. And choosing a lightweight, non-greasy moisturiser, and keeping your skin hydrated while not making it oily. Ingredients like aloe vera, chamomile, and sandalwood are perfect as they provide moisture and soothe your skin while preventing any irritation or breakouts. You can opt for Aroma Care Pro VITAMIN C Day Cream or a Aroma Care Aloe vera gel with chamomile.
4. SunScreen:
Now you might think, why do you need sunscreen during the monsoon? It is hardly sunny. But, even though that would be the case, the sun rays can harm your skin leaving it damaged, thus using a sunscreen is very important. We suggest Aroma Care Sun Shield SPF 50 matt gel cream, which won’t leave your skin oily.
And that’s it! You only need these 4 basic steps everyday to keep your skin glowing during the monsoon. Further, you can go ahead and apply makeup or keep it simple with just these steps.
But, in case you are someone who is already following this routine and want something more, here’s a little add on:
● Face Scrub: We all love a clean and hydrated skin, and using face scrub once a week helps you get all the gunk out. Depending on your skin type you can choose a mild or a strong scrub. Scrubbing your face once a week also helps you get rid of all the dead skin as well as black heads, and the Aroma care Charcoal facial scrub is perfect if you are looking for one.
● Face Mask: After the face scrub, to keep your skin smooth and hydrated go for a face mask. There are plenty available in the market - sheet mask, clay mask, gel mask, and a lot more. Applying a calming eye mask everyday before you go to bed, will keep your skin hydrated and fresh, you can opt for Aroma Care Pro Hydro Boost Sleeping Mask.
● Lip care: While we have looked at keeping your face clean and hydrated, you shouldn’t ignore the lips. A dry and chapped lips are something no one likes, and one should equally focus on it during the skincare routine. Opt for a lip balm that is hydrating and makes your lips plump. You can also choose a lip balm with SPF in it. Aroma care has a wide selection of lip balms that are nourishing and hydrating while keeping your lips plumped.
● Hair care: Scalp is also a major part of the skin, which people often forget. Dandruff is a major concern people face during monsoon, as the bacterias make your scalp home, fostering on humidity and leaving your scalp itchy. Using a good shampoo like Aroma Care Insta Clean Dandruff Shampoo, that cleanses your scalp thoroughly and a conditioner that helps you tame down the friz. You can also use it once in 15 days to keep your hair and scalp nourished.
Last but not the least, make sure you are also taking care of your feet as they are more prone to moisture and fungal infections during monsoon. Follow a pedicure routine once a month to keep them healthy.
Now you are all ready to enjoy the monsoon season without worrying about your skin. And on days when you need that extra pamper, treat yourself to an amazing facial and a pampering routine while enjoying the rains.
