The month of October can be a trying time for the skin. The humidity in the air stimulates our sweat glands that leave our skin irritated and full of impurities. Worse, when sweat comes in contact with the pollution and grime, it leads to bigger skin concerns like acne, blackheads and more. It is this time that you assume you don’t need a skin moisturiser or lotion thinking that your skin doesn’t require added hydration. But sadly, this could be the biggest skin care blunder you’re committing. Wondering why? Here’s more on it...

Why it is imperative to moisturise in the October heat?

Despite the weather being humid, the summer sun can dehydrate your skin. In addition, being in the AC for several hours everyday also robs your skin of moisture. Surprisingly, this can be a concern for those with oily skin too—when you don’t lend your skin adequate hydration by way of a mild moisturiser or lotion, your skin overcompensates by increasing the level of oil through your sebaceous glands. Precisely why it is of utmost importance that you keep your skin moisturised no matter how hot the weather is irrespective of your skin type.

It is during this time that your skin is yearning for hydration from deep inside. Aloe vera is one of the best solutions to fighting the October heat. It not only increases the water content in your skin leaving it hydrated but also has healing properties since it can treat sunburn because it is rich in antioxidants. For those with oily or acne prone skin, the good news is that aloe vera also has anti-bacterial properties that help the skin stay away from acne and other kinds of skin concerns.

If you truly want to give your skin the goodness of aloe, reach out for the Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe Soothe Body Lotion. This one has a non-sticky formula that contains pure aloe, stratys-3 multi-layer moisture that deeply moisturises the skin without making the skin feel greasy. We suggest you apply this twice a day. Apply it in the morning once you’ve taken bath and then once again, before sleeping since that’s the time your skin can absorb all the necessary moisture.
