The monsoon season is now in full swing. It's time to take care of your skin and prevent the spread of acne and pimples.

The monsoon season brings much-needed relief from the summer heat and rains, but it can also cause irritation to the skin. The monsoon season causes an increase in humidity and moisture in the air, which can lead to acne, fungal infections, and a dull complexion. It can also make it difficult for the skin to retain its natural glow and adapt to the ever-changing weather conditions.

It is important to follow a proper skincare routine during the monsoon season to maintain healthy and beautiful skin. This includes cleansing, hydrating, and protecting the skin from the sun and rain. It is also important to wear a mask and other protective clothing to prevent the spread of moisture and bacteria.

This article will discuss some skin care tips for monsoon.

1. If you have sensitive skin, you should exfoliate your skin once in 10 days. This will help in removing dead skin cells and grime, which can cause acne and pimples. You should use a natural exfoliating scrub to do this.

2. It is very important to apply sunscreen before stepping out in the sun. This will help in protecting your skin from the sun's harmful rays. You should reapply your sunscreen every two hours while you are spending time outside.

3. In the monsoon season, it is very important to maintain skin moisture. This will help in preventing the oil glands from overproducing oil and sebum, which can cause acne. You should use a light water-based moisturizer to lock the moisture into your skin.

4. If you have oily skin, you should cleanse it with a gentle face wash twice a day. Use a tissue to dab the excess oil away. You should also follow up with a light moisturizer to lock the moisture into your skin. Look for products that contain minimal oil and fat.

5. If you have dry skin, monsoon can still give you a hard time. You should take steps to moisturise your skin after cleansing. This will help in maintaining the skin's shine and glow. You should also stay hydrated and avoid taking hot showers. Never sleep with your makeup on.
