Skin Care Essentials for Glowing Skin in Monsoon

After the scorching summer heat, the monsoon rains feel extremely pleasant. However, the happiness is short-lived as with monsoons comes various skincare and other health concerns. With an increase in humidity, your face becomes dull and lacks glow. Thus it becomes essential to mould your skincare regime as per the skin’s needs in monsoon.

Your monsoon skincare regime should be strategic yet simple. 

Here are some skincare essentials that give you glowing skin in monsoon – 

1. Opt for a mild cleanser:

Cleansers have lathering soap agents that can harm your skin and strip off the natural oils from the skin. Irrespective of your skin type, select a mild cleanser that gently clarifies the skin from the oil, impurities and pollutants to keep the infections at bay. Ingredients like matcha green tea face are said to be beneficial for your monsoon skincare cleansing. Matcha green tea has detoxifying properties that effectively cleanse impurities and helps make the skin glow. It also helps manage inflammation and redness. Enokii has Matcha Face Wash that helps manage acne, gives an even skin tone, makes skin plump and glowing, and reduces the signs of ageing. This gentle formulation does not contain any toxins and is effective for monsoon skin cleansing.

2. Don’t skip exfoliation:

Exfoliation is an essential part of any skincare regime. A good quality exfoliating scrub removes dead skin cells, and other impurities and unclogs pores. It is advised to exfoliate 2-3 times a week. Exfoliation is also said to improve blood circulation on the face, enhance absorption of skincare, remove flaky skin and acne scars, give even skin tone and boost the process of skin renewal.

Ubtan for skin is one of the oldest skincare rituals for glowing skin. Enokii’s bestseller Skin Brightening Ubtan scrub is perfect for your monsoon skincare woes. It is enriched with turmeric, honey, Liquorice, saffron, and vitamin C extracts that exhibit the anti-ageing, antiseptic, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory property that keeps monsoon acne at bay. It also enhances skin tone, provides protection against sun tan, and gives the skin a natural glow. 

3. Use minimal makeup

Heavy makeup can melt away in monsoons because of the excess humidity. Besides, layering heavy makeup can clog your pores and cause excess sebum production and pimples. Instead of layering heavy makeup like foundation or concealers, go for lightweight BB or CC creams. You can also opt for tinted lip balms than lipsticks to give your lips nourishment and a tinge of colour.

4. Use a toner

Monsoons can make your skin greasy and sticky. Regular cleansing and toning can help keep these problems under control. Using a toner helps give your skin a matte finish, eliminate dirt and seal pores. Look for toners that contain green tea, glycolic acid, vitamin C and rose water. 

5. Don’t skip sunscreen

Although the sun is not as powerful as it is in summer, skipping sunscreen in monsoon is a big no. Clouds do not have UV filters that protect the skin from the sun in monsoons. You can get sunburnt even in monsoon. Thus it is essential to apply sunscreen even in monsoons. Exposure to harmful UV rays is said to increase the chances of premature ageing, dark spots and pigmentation. 

6. Pamper clay masks

Clay masks are said to absorb impurities, and excess oil brightens skin, restores the balance of the skin, unclogs pores and soothes the damage on the skin. As the face becomes oily and greasy during monsoons, clay masks are an apt choice. Enokii has Collagen Essence Vitamin C Skin Energizing Face Mask has kaolin clay that acts as a natural exfoliator and deeply cleanses pores, drawing out all impurities and toxins from the skin without disrupting the moisture balance of the skin.

7. Use lightweight moisturizer

Cream-based moisturisers can feel greasy and heavy on the skin. Thus it is advisable to use lightweight gel moisturizers that hydrate the skin without making it greasy. Lightweight gel moisturizers with aloe vera, hyaluronic acid or glycerin can be used for maximum efficacy.
