Here are few common skincare mistakes you should avoid to keep your skin healthy and glowing throughout the rainy season:

Skipping Sunscreen: The sun may be hidden behind the clouds, but harmful UV rays can still affect your skin. Never skip applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen, even on rainy days

Over-Exfoliating: Humidity can make the skin feel sticky, tempting you to scrub too often. Exfoliating more than twice a week can disrupt the skin barrier and cause sensitivity

Ignoring Moisturisation: The damp air doesn’t mean you can skip moisturiser. Use a light, oil-free moisturiser to maintain hydration and balance

Not Cleansing Properly: Sweat can build up quickly in the rain. Wash your face twice daily with a gentle cleanser to keep your skin fresh and breakout-free

Using Heavy Makeup: Heavy, oil-based makeup can clog pores in the humid weather. Stick to light, breathable formulations for the monsoon
