Who doesn’t love some monsoon showers? Rains are an absolute delight and a saviour from summer heat. While we enjoy the rain, our skin tends to suffer. Rain may seem very calming and cool, but heavy downpours often increase the humidity and moisture, that may result in skin sensitivity and sometimes, even skin infections. It is extremely important to take care of your skin during the Monsoon. As it goes for skincare, it is important to be careful about the makeup as well. Keep reading to find out more!
While you may be wondering that these tips will burn a hole in your pocket, don’t worry, they are as simple as affordable! The regimen from TNW-The Natural Wash is effective, affordable, and perfect for monsoon!
1. Keep Your Skin Clean
While that may sound like a no brainer, it goes deeper than that. During monsoon, we often get that sticky, chip chipi feeling. And hence, it is important to wash the face with a gentle cleanser that effectively gets rid of any oil or stickiness, without compromising on natural skincare barrier. TNW- The Natural Wash’s Kumkumadi Foaming Face Wash is one such product that effectively cleans the face without overdrying the face. Be noted not to over cleanse the face, otherwise it may lead to further oil production.
2. Exfoliate regularly
Exfoliation is important for 365 days, but it is crucial during monsoon. Hot, humid weather clogs the pores that may result in comedones, such as acne, whiteheads, and blackheads. The solution to all the concerns above is to E-X-F-O-L-I-A-T-E.As important it is to exfoliate, it is important to choose the right method for yourself. You can choose between physical and chemical exfoliation. See the summary table below for better understanding.

While it is important to exfoliate the skin, it is also important to look after the body. In humidity, we sweat more than usual, which may end up giving body acne and foul odour. And hence it is important to follow a proper body care routine as well. TNW’s Salicylic Acid Body Wash is one such product that helps you tackle the monsoon body acne. This body wash is powered with Salicylic Acid as well as Neem that are known for their exfoliating and anti-bacterial properties respectively.

3. Sun Protection is Important
Sunscreen is non-negotiable, no matter what season it is, even if you are enjoying the rains. While the sky may seem cloudy and you may go like dhoop thodi nikli hui haiI, you don’t know the sun is still peeping! While it may seem very dark and dim outside, sun’s UV rays are stopped by nothing, and since people often ditch the sunscreen at this time, the sun damage is at most! Be noted that temperature and weather are not the indicators of UV Damage. On the contrary, when it’s not raining, the sky is usually clear, giving sunrays way more space to penetrate. While it is (obviously) wise to carry an umbrella, use that for sun protection too!It is important to use a light-weight, non-greasy sunscreen that is heavy on protection, not on the skin. TNW has an array of sunscreen that cater to your every need. TNW’s SPF 50 Cream is a lightweight formula that is ideal to apply at the end of your routine.
