Skincare has become an integral part of our daily routine. Every day no matter where we are or what we are doing, we all have to wash our faces twice a day. In the morning before starting the day. Then again at night before bedtime. The only difference is the requirements of the skin. This changes according to skin type, region, season, and age. Here we will talk about the best skincare tips that everyone needs this monsoon based on their skin type.

For Oily Skin: People with oily skin, always have to be alert about their skincare routine. As their skin is prone to acne and uninvited breakouts they have to be careful about what they apply to the skin.

  • Mild Exfoliating or Foaming Cleanser: Throughout the day your skin is busy shedding skin and oil. So it is necessary to keep your pores as clean as possible to reduce chances of buildup. Use a foaming cleanser or exfoliating face wash that has oil-control properties.
  • Water-based products: Make you your skin is always hydrated to stop sebum production. And even if it’s raining, it’s still very important to protect the skin from all UV rays. So, apply water-based hydrating moisturizers and sunscreen, not oil-based.
  • Oil-control Face Mask: At night before bedtime, try a neem mask or a clay mask that helps in absorbing excess oil. 15-20 mins should be enough time at night.

For Dry Skin: If you have tight, scaly, or flaky skin, then you have dry skin. Dry skin can happen due to the environment, hard water, genetics, excessive washing, exposure to irritants, or some medical conditions, like hypothyroidism or diabetes.

  • Hydrating Cleanser: Use a cleanser with hyaluronic acids, like Cetaphil’s Gentle Skin Cleanser and CeraVe’s Hydrating Facial Cleanser. They remove dirt and oil without harming the skin’s epithelial layer.
  • Cream-based Products: Search for “noncomedogenic” on the label. They hydrate the skin without clogging the pores. Moisturize daily with one that locks in the benefits of serums.
  • Avoid Hot Showers: We know hot water can open up your pores to remove oil. So if you already have dry skin, this could make it even dryer. So it is best to avoid it.

Combination Skin: When dealing with combination skin, it can be troublesome to find the balance that softens dry patches and combats shininess.

  • Oils For night: during the night it is very important to keep your skin moisturized and nourished. There are many essential oils that you can apply during the night based on your skin needs.
  • Hydrating Serum: Use hydrating serums like Ordinary’s hyaluronic serum that keeps the skin moisturized without clogging the pores of the skin.
  • Face mask: Once a week, use clay masks on your face to balance the oil and dryness of the skin. If possible, try applying different masks in different areas of the skin according to the need.

One tip that could work for all skin types is to use green tea masks. Other than that you can keep healthy skin during this monsoon if you follow the above skincare tips for the best result.
