How To Transition Your Skincare Routine For Monsoon

Just like the Earth is finally quenching its thirst after months of scorching heat, now it’s your skin’s turn to get its long-due TLC as well. That being said, navigating a skincare routine that can surpass common monsoon concerns like dullness, itching, and acne is a slippery road. So, as the temperature has stooped low, and the humidity has risen, there are a few products that you will have to leave behind or swap. Let’s get to it. 

Don't just cleanse, double cleanse

Monsoon is the breeding season for bacteria, and impurities to clog your skin and make it dull. The best way to tackle this? Use an oil-based cleansing balm to massage away all the baddies and get healthy pores and skin. Our Mon Cherry Dirt Dissolving Cleansing Balm will help you there. Follow it up with a your gel-based cleanser and your pores will shed some happy tears.

Embrace water-based skincare products

Let it rain on your skin, with products that are high in water content. That means creams, moisturizers, serum or facial oils that are heavy on the skin, need to be tucked away for a while. Think hyaluronic acid and super-hydrating essences that hit the jackpot when talking about hydration. Our best pick? The Birch Please Skin Soothing Clarifying Serum and our Mon Cherry Intense Brightening Essence go amazingly-well together.   

Incorporate clay masks 

While sheet masks are the perfect way to end hot summer days, monsoon calls for deep cleansing, detoxifying and pore-purifying masks that sweep off dirt and grime. If your skin tends to get very oily during this season, then our Bravocado Deep Cleansing Clay Mask is your saviour. It zaps excess oil, and draws out impurities to give you blemish-free, healthy skin. 

On the other hand, if rainy seasons means dull skin to you, nothing surpasses our Mon Cherry Brightening Pink Clay Mask. With brightening ingredients like cherry blossom, grapefruit and pearl, dull skin does not stand a chance. 

But, if you’re too scared that clay masks will make you dry skin even more parched, then allow us to present to you our Mama Cica Mud Dipping Sheet Mask For Oil Control And Clear Skin. A crossover between a sheet and clay mask, you can get the best of both worlds with this miracle product.  

Mists out, toners in! 

The rain can wreak havoc on your skin if your pores aren’t prepped for it. To give them a helping hand and prevent clogging, indulge in our Matcha Better Pore Clearing Skin Tonic. This potent liquid gently exfoliates, unclogs pores, eliminates blackheads as well as hydrates the skin. 

Pick a gel-based face cleanser

During monsoon, when your skin is already undergoing a turmoil, treat it with a calming and nourishing gel-based face wash. Where foaming face washes are great to dissolving summer sweat and dirt, our Matcha Better Skin Detox Gel Face Wash deeply detoxifies with its biodegradable beads and revitalizes skin thanks to ingredients like mandarin orange peel oil, chamomile, and rose geranium oil. 

Make these swaps in monsoon, and watch how happy your skin will be!
