Monsoon Skincare:

Homemade Face-packs for Monsoon Skincare:


The Monsoon is here, and so are the skin troubles. This humid season makes your skin look dull (because of sweat and oil deposits). So, you need to plan your monsoon skincare regime, as your skin readily reacts to atmospheric humidity and dampness. Allow your skin to breathe by washing impurities and oil away from your skin, using a mild and non-soapy cleanser (Avoid perfumed and Anti-fungal soaps as they are harsh on your skin and shed natural oils).
