Monsoon increases the temperature from which people suffering from summer get relief but it increases humidity which is very adverse for facial skin especially for the people with oily skin. For instance, high humidity is likely to cause the skin to produce more sebum, hence, form acne causing agent, clogging of pores. Thus, by practicing skincare, one can be able to benefit from the practice.

Gentle Cleansing

Choose your first skincare product as cleanser – opt for a product specially made for oily skin type. Washing is necessary to carry out at least two processes to clean the skin: in the morning and before going to bed. Choose a foaming or gel-based facial cleanser and use products containing salicylic acid, tea tree oil, or neem to reduce the volume of oil that the skin sends to the surface. Do not use strong, abrasive soaps as they tend to remove skin oils, and as a reaction the skin will overproduce the said oil.

How to Cleanse:

– Place your face under a clean running water with water temperature being slightly warm.

– Treatily wet your face with the cleanser and use your fingertips, the fingertips only to rub it gently in circular motion.

– Leaving the toner on your face, rinse your face with water and gently dry it with a different clean towel.

Exfoliation

To achieve that, people ought to exfoliate their skin regularly so that dead skin can be shed off hence eliminating the piling of fluid on the skin which leads to pore blockage. But, using them in excess can lead to problems with the skin, even in monsoon season when the skin tends to be in a more sensitive state. Exfoliation must be done with a mild scrub at least twice in a week in order to eliminate dead skin on the skin layers and to reduce the size of pores.

How to Exfoliate:

– Wet your skin before trying the exfoliant so it becomes lightly damp and rub this exfoliant in circular movements.

– They should concentrate on the areas where these two types of blackheads are produced.

– Rinse off gently with water that is warm and then gently pat your skin with a towel.

Toning

A good toner ensures the skin is returned to its normal ph by closing the pores, a feature that is more relevant to people with oily skins. Choose alcohol-free toners to protect the skin’s exterior barrier; those with witch hazel, rose water, or green tea extracts are perfect options for their formulation. These help reduce on oil accumulation without leaving the skin with a dull appearance or feeling.

How to Set Tone: –

Apply the toner onto a cotton pad and use it to gently wipe the greasy parts of your face. Let it air dry before proceeding to the next step.

Moisturizing

Even with oily skin, moisturizing is crucial, especially in the monsoon when the skin is more prone to dehydration. Select a moisturizing product that is non-comedogenic, lightweight, and moisturizes without clogging pores. The best moisturizers are those that are gel- or water-based since they give the skin the essential moisture without leaving it oily.

How to Apply Moisturizer?

Dot your face with a pea-sized quantity of moisturizer. – Use gentle upward strokes to massage it into your skin. It is important to make sure that the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) is evenly covered.

Apply Sunscreen

UV radiation can harm skin even on overcast monsoon days. It is essential to use a broad-spectrum, matte-finish sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to shield your skin from UV ray damage. To prevent adding extra shine, look for sunscreens that are oil-free and designed for oily skin.

How to Use Sunscreen?

As the final step in your morning skincare routine, apply sunscreen. Make sure your face and neck are fully covered by using a large amount. – If you are going to be outside, reapply every two to three hours.
