Sitting by the window, enjoying a hot cup of tea while it’s pouring outside is priceless! But monsoon comes with its own set of problems that are difficult to tackle. Right from frizzy hair to greasy skin and foot infections, there are multiple beauty woes to deal with during the rainy season.
Some of these problems can be easily avoided by simply following basic skincare rituals like exfoliating. Scrubbing each part of your body becomes extremely important during the monsoon season. Here’s why you should be doing it often.
01. Opens blocked pores
During monsoon, the body perspires less; this results in the accumulation of dead skin cells and clogged pores, which eventually leads to blackheads and acne. It can all be avoided by using a gentle yet effective face scrub twice a week. The St. Ives Gentle Smoothing Oatmeal Scrub & Mask will unclog pores, remove dirt and other impurities without being harsh on your skin. Skin will feel radiant, smooth and soft after use.
02. Keeps infections at bay
Infections are common in monsoon and we don’t mean just foot infections. Rainwater is mixed with toxins; when it comes in contact with your skin — be it any part of your body — it can cause irritation and itching. An easy way to avoid this is by exfoliating your body from head to toe at least once a week. Cleansing only removes surface dirt if you want to prevent infections use a body scrub or polish with nourishing and exfoliating ingredients like the Dove Exfoliating Pomegranate Seeds and Shea Butter Body Polish. It buffs away deep-set dirt as well as dry, dead skin.
