Daily Skin and Hair Care for Monsoon season
• Good and effective cleansing using a soap free cleanser, you could also use a gentle scrub (with uniform mild beads) once a day
• Cleansing should be followed by toning using an alcohol free toner, since increased humidity could open up your pores
• Use a sunscreen even on a cloudy day since the harmful UV radiations are capable of penetrating the clouds
• Use a light lotion based moisturizer or serum with a lightening agent as well as lactic acid – this would gently rehydrate your skin and also brighten it up
• Avoid heavy makeup and use waterproof make up when necessary
• Remember to nourish your skin - eat salads blanched in boiling water to disinfect them, vegetable soup will keep you warm and healthy and drink usual 8-10 glasses of water. Your skin is always thirstier than you are!

It is Really important to go to a good skin clinic on a regular basis. I Always go to Kaya.. They give me these awesome packages that really help my skin!

I think monsoon is the most romantic season. But like the weather, my skin also becomes unpredictable. It becomes oily at times and then my skin turns dry again. i heard that tanning takes place even during monsoons... but then applying sunscreens make my skin greasy in this weather... i have heard of Maybelline's new compact called whitestay UV which has SPF 18... i was wondering if this can be an alternative for sunscreen, wats your opinion on this?
