HIMAIRA 

Imagine stepping out in the monsoon rain and feeling the humidity sticking to your face. While the monsoon brings in a sense of freshness and relief from the scorching heat, it also brings in a challenge that is managing the oily skin in the wet and humid weather. The humidity can make your skin more oily and sticky than it already is causing breakouts and discomfort. But fear not because we bring in a few easy and simple hacks that you can follow while enjoying the monsoon weather.

1. Always cleanse

Always remember to cleanse your skin twice a day. The humidity causes sweat and oil build up on the face which results in clogged pores. Use a gentle foaming cleanser during your morning and night skincare routine and wash your face with nice circular motions for at least 40 to 60 seconds. Look for powerful ingredients like Niacinamide, Aloe Vera, Vitamin C that helps in controlling excessive sebum production and keeps your pores clear.
