Monsoon Skin Care: A Dermatologist's Complete Guide
Humid weather invites fungal infections and acne. Follow these dermatologist-approved steps for healthy monsoon skin.
By Dr. Anita Reddy
Monsoon humidity can wreak havoc on your skin. Here are evidence-based tips:
1. Cleanse twice daily with a gentle, pH-balanced face wash.
2. Use a non-comedogenic moisturizer even in humid weather.
3. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen — UV rays penetrate clouds.
4. Keep feet dry to prevent fungal infections.
5. Avoid heavy makeup; let your skin breathe.
Persistent rashes, itching or fungal patches should be evaluated by a dermatologist.
