We're blaming all our trust issues on the rainy season. Much revered across cultures, the monsoons seem great at face value — but boy, do they do a number on our skin. From increasing acne and greasy skin, to causing itchiness and allergies, our list of monsoon woes is never-ending. And it's not like we haven't tried; if you're like us, half your paycheck probably goes into finding the right skincare products for your skin. But this season, we’ve found the answer. We're turning to clean beauty to fix our skin for the rainy days to come.
Why clean beauty? Full of non-toxic ingredients, clean beauty plays an important role in maintaining the skin's health. Replacing irritating and potentially harmful chemicals, preservatives, and synthetic fragrances found in conventional skincare with all the goodness of clean beauty can help soothe monsoon-related skin problems. Also, since your skin absorbs up to 60% of what you put on it topically, and your skin is the largest organ, having a thoughtful skincare routine is super important, don’t you think? So if you’re ready to dive into the world of clean beauty this monsoon, here are the skincare products you'll need to get started.
