The greatest way in preserving the health and the youthful look of the skin is to keep regular skincare. Skin is the largest organ on the human body and as such, it does require suitable care. And there is no better way to take care of your skin than to practice regular and suitable skincare. However, as the skincare steps and approaches differ from skin type to skin type, they also differ when it comes to seasons and weather changes. This is especially important for the women living here in the Philippines during the Monsoon season.
Monsoon season can be hard on the skin. It brings up the humidity levels that are not great for skin health. This is especially important for those who have oily and acne-prone skin. That is why, during this season, we at Body Concepts Dermatology and Medical Clinic think it is important to change the skincare regime and routine. The basic rule of the skincare routine is to cleanse, tone, and moisturize, but the Monsoon season does include some other skincare rules.
Here are some useful tips that will help you and your skin get over the Monsoon season in the best way:
Use sunscreen
The rainy or cloudy Monsoon days do not mean that the skin is safe from the harmful UV rays of the sun. Don’t leave your home without applying sunscreen. That way you will prevent the appearance of any skin problems.
Wash your face frequently
Be sure to wash your face thoroughly, two to three times a day, which will prevent the appearance of any fungal infection.
Stay hydrated
During the Monsoon season, the skin would need extra hydration so try to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. The good look of the skin comes as equally from the inside as the outside.
Use more natural-based products
Using less commercially bought skin products and more that are based on natural ingredients, since this season tends to make the skin break out.
Stay away from makeup
It is best to stay away from makeup as much as possible during the Monsoon season because it can clog the pores and cause skin irritations and breakouts. If you do wear it, always thoroughly clean the face before going to bed.
Avoid fried food
Fried food and similar snacks in this season can reflect poorly on the skin, resulting in the appearance of acne and other skin conditions, so try to avoid it as much as possible.
Use a mild shampoo
The humidity can make the hair look dirty and greasy. If you need to wash it every day or more frequently than usual, be sure to go with a mild shampoo that will not dry the scalp.
These are just some of the useful tips that you can consider following during the Monsoon seasons. However, each skin type is different, so it is best to book an appointment or consultation with our experts at Body Concepts Dermatology and Medical Clinic.
